Memory Tip
联想：dis（不）+ 与 chord（和弦）同音的 cord，和弦不和谐，正是 discord 的‘不和’与‘刺耳杂音’。
Context & Register
语域：formal 常见场景：formal writing、politics and international relations、workplace or personal relationships、music theory and acoustics 通常用于正式或书面表达，多指意见分歧、纷争；在音乐领域指不协和音。日常口语中较少用，较常说 disagreement 或 conflict。
Pronunciation & Spelling
discord 的重音在第一个音节 /ˈdɪs-/，没有常用词与它完全押韵（重读元音和后续音 /ɪskɔrd/ 完全相同）。注意对比：concord /ˈkɑŋkɔrd/ 结构相似但重读元音为 /ɑ/；accord /əˈkɔrd/ 的 -cord 是重读音节；cord、chord /kɔrd/ 是单音节，重读元音为 /ɔ/；record 作名词读 /ˈrɛkərd/，作动词读 /rɪˈkɔrd/，拼写易混但读音不同。
