Learner notes
Memory Tip
记忆：字母E读'一'，min像'民'（民众）——一人立于民众之上，即eminence（显赫、高地）。
Context & Register
语域：formal 常见场景：正式书面语、正式演讲、宗教尊称 通常用于正式场合，多指“杰出、显赫”的品质或地位，也可作为对高级别人士的尊称（如 Your Eminence），比较常见于书面语和正式演讲。
Pronunciation & Spelling
真正与 eminence（/ˈemɪnəns/）押韵的是 preeminence（/ˌpriːˈemɪnəns/）。其余词虽都以 -inence 结尾，读音却不同：prominence 重读 /ɒ/，imminence 重读 /ɪ/，abstinence 重读 /æ/，incontinence 重读 /ɒ/，所以不是韵词。
