Learner notes
Memory Tip
记忆：词中藏着labor（劳动），反复打磨出细节——精心制作、详细阐述。
Context & Register
语域：formal 常见场景：学术写作、正式报告、技术文档 该词多用于正式或书面语境，表示详细说明、精心制作或逐步完善的过程；日常口语中较少见，比较常见于学术论文、报告或技术说明等场合。
Pronunciation & Spelling
这些词与 elaboration 押韵：都含有重读的 /reɪʃən/ 尾音。其中 oration 与 elaboration 拼写上的 -oration 完全一致，便于记忆。注意别混淆形近词：elaborate 读 /ɪˈlæbərət/（形容词）或 /ɪˈlæbəreɪt/（动词），labor 读 /ˈleɪbər/，ration 读 /ˈræʃən/——它们都不以 /reɪʃən/ 结尾。
