Learner notes
Memory Tip
dis（分开）+ integrate（整合）→ 整合不了，就碎裂瓦解。
Context & Register
语域：neutral 常见场景：physical/chemical breakdown、figurative collapse of systems or groups、formal writing and news reports 该词属中性偏书面，常用来描述物体碎裂或制度、体系等瓦解；在正式写作和新闻报道中比较常见，日常口语中通常改用 fall apart 或 break up。
Grammar Note
Can be used both transitively (e.g., disintegrate something) and intransitively (e.g., something disintegrates).
Pronunciation & Spelling
disintegrate 的结尾 -grate 读作 /ɡreɪt/；grate、great、integrate 的发音与它完全相同，create、late、rate 的结尾 /eɪt/ 也与之接近。注意 disintegrate 的重音在第二个音节 -in- 上，不在最后的 -grate 上，所以这些词并非严格的押韵（不是重音音节押韵）。拼写时注意同音词 grate（磨碎）与 great（伟大的）的区别。
Usage priority
