语境与语域Context & Register

发音与拼写Pronunciation & Spelling
注意：目标词 discontented 的重音在 -tent- 上，读作 /ˌdɪskənˈtɛntɪd/。真正押韵的词是 contented /kənˈtɛntɪd/ 和 prevented /prɪˈvɛntɪd/，它们从重读元音到词尾的读音都是 /ɛntɪd/。拼写相似的 content（名词，读 /ˈkɒntɛnt/）和 intended（读 /ɪnˈtɛndɪd/）发音不同：content 没有词尾 /ɪd/，intended 的结尾是 /dɪd/，都不押韵；discontent /ˌdɪskənˈtɛnt/ 也因缺少词尾 /ɪd/ 而不押韵。
