Learner notes
Memory Tip
想象车轮被驱动向前，也像雪被风堆成堆：driven 是“被推动”，既指人执着，也指雪被吹积。
Context & Register
语域：mixed 常见场景：workplace and success stories、weather reports and nature writing 该词作形容词时，语域随义项变化：表示“有冲劲的、执着的”多用于描述人的性格或工作状态，常见于职场和成功人士的谈论中；表示“被风吹积的”多用于描述雪等自然现象，常见于天气预报或文学描写。因此整体定为混合语域。
Pronunciation & Spelling
真正与 driven /ˈdrɪvən/ 同韵的是 given, forgiven, riven, striven（都读 /ɪvən/）。注意 liven 拼写上有相同的 -iven，但它读 /ˈlaɪvən/，其中的 i 发长音 /aɪ/，因此并不押韵。
