语域：formal 常见场景：formal writing、politics、office politics curry favour 是正式、略带贬义的固定搭配，多用于书面语或正式场合，表示“讨好、求宠”。口语中较少这样用，更常说 try to please 或 suck up to someone。
发音与拼写Pronunciation & Spelling
Curry rhymes with hurry and worry in both British (/-ʌri/) and American (/-ɜːri/) pronunciations. In American English it also rhymes with furry (/-ɜːri/); in British English furry is /ˈfɜːri/, so it does not rhyme with curry there. Lorry and sorry look similar in spelling but have a different vowel (British /ɒ/, American /ɑː/ or /ɔː/) and are not rhyming matches.
