Context & Register
语域:formal 常见场景:Psychology、Academic writing 此处分析的是名词用法,表示“利己主义者”。该词比较正式,多用于心理学或学术性的人物描写;在日常口语中较少见,常用 self-centered 代替。
Pronunciation & Spelling
真正的同韵词(重读音节 /ˈsen/ + /trɪk/)包括 centric、eccentric、concentric、geocentric。注意 egotistical /ˌiːɡəˈtɪstɪkəl/ 和 ego /ˈiːɡəʊ/ 虽以 “ego” 开头、拼写相近,但读音不同:egotistical 重读的是 /tɪ/,不在 /ˈsentrɪk/;ego 的结尾是 /ɡəʊ/,也不是 /trɪk/。
