语域:formal 常见场景:academic writing、formal reports consequential 表示“重要的;重大的”时通常用于正式场合,如学术写作或正式报告,属于较书面的词汇,日常口语中较少使用。
这些词与 consequential 的韵脚相同:重读元音 /ɛ/ 及其后的 /nʃəl/ 一致,所以 sequential、inconsequential、potential、essential、influential、confidential 都与之押韵。注意不要被拼写误导:consequence /ˈkɒnsɪkwəns/、consequently /ˈkɒnsɪkwəntli/、frequent /ˈfriːkwənt/ 虽含 -quen- 或 -quent,但重音和元音不同,并不押韵。
