语境与语域Context & Register
语域：mixed 常见场景：cooking、chemistry、finance dilute 的语体比较灵活：日常多用于描述给液体兑水（如做菜），此时比较中性；在化学或金融等专业语境中则偏正式。因此整体标记为 mixed。正式写作中很常见，日常口语中也不显生硬。
语法说明Grammar Note
常用于被动语态，如 be diluted with/in sth.
发音与拼写Pronunciation & Spelling
按英式读音，dilute 的重读部分为 /ljuːt/，pollute、salute、minute（形容词）与之押韵；absolute 虽以 -lute 结尾，但重音在第一音节，execute、constitute 也同为 -ute 拼写，但重音和元音不同，注意不要按拼写类推。
