语域：mixed 常见场景：moral judgment、literary writing、informal hyperbole 形容词‘evil’的语域会随用法变化：表示‘邪恶的、道德败坏的’时比较正式，多用于道德讨论、文学或正式语境；表示‘令人不快的、令人厌恶的’（如气味、味道）时，则比较常见于非正式口语或夸张表达。因此整体语域为混合，需根据具体搭配来判断。
在这些词中，只有 weevil /ˈwivəl/ 与 evil /ˈivəl/ 押韵。注意拼写都以 -vil 结尾的 devil /ˈdɛvəl/、civil /ˈsɪvəl/、anvil /ˈænvəl/、cavil /ˈkævəl/ 元音各不相同，都不与 evil 押韵，尤其是 devil 容易误读。
