Memory Tip

Context & Register
语域:neutral 常见场景:public health notices、medical reports、travel health guidance 登革热是一种疾病的正式名称,通常出现在医疗、公共卫生和新闻等较正式或中性的语境中,日常口语中较少单独使用。
Pronunciation & Spelling
这些词都拼作 -gue,但发音不同:dengue /ˈdɛŋɡi/ 的结尾是 /ŋɡi/;vague、plague 结尾是 /ɡ/(元音不同),fatigue、colleague 结尾是 /iːɡ/,tongue 的 ngue 读 /ŋ/。因此它们只是拼写近似,不是真正的同韵词。
