语境与语域Context & Register
语域：formal 常见场景：法律与政策、职场与教育、新闻报道或正式评论 在表示“歧视性的；不公平的”这一含义时，discriminatory 通常用于法律、政策、职场等正式语境；日常口语中更常说 unfair 或 biased。
发音与拼写Pronunciation & Spelling
以上词均与 discriminatory 同以 -atory 结尾，但美式读音中重音或重读元音后的音不同，所以没有与 discriminatory 完全押韵的常用词。例如 mandatory 重音在首音节 /ˈmæn/，而 discriminatory 重音在第二个音节 /ˈskrɪ/；obligatory、anticipatory、participatory 虽重读元音也是 /ɪ/，但重读元音后的辅音不同，不构成押韵。
