联想con（共同）+ fine（界线），众人共守的界线即confine（边界）；复数confines常指'范围'。
语域：formal 常见场景：formal writing、literary texts、official or legal documents 作名词时通常用于正式或书面语，常见于文学、法律或学术语境，表示‘边界、界限’，尤以复数形式confines多见。日常口语中较少单独使用。
confine 重读第二个音节，读作 /kənˈfaɪn/。fine、define、line、design、combine 都以 /aɪn/ 结尾，构成真正的押韵；但 machine 虽然也以 -ine 结尾，却读 /məˈʃiːn/，并不押韵，注意别被拼写误导。
