Learner notes
Memory Tip
把exhaust(耗尽)想成:搜遍每个角落,直到把所有可能性都‘耗尽’,就是‘详尽、彻底’的。
Context & Register
语域:formal 常见场景:学术论文、技术文档、正式报告 exhaustive 多用于正式或书面语境,如学术、法律或技术文档,表示“详尽无遗的、彻底的”。日常口语中较少使用,语气比较正式。
Pronunciation & Spelling
这组词都以 -ive 结尾,非重读时都读 /ɪv/,因此词尾听感相近;但它们与 exhaustive /ɪɡˈzɔstɪv/ 都不完全押韵,因为 exhaustive 的重音在 /zɔ/,而这些词的重音元音不同(如 expensive /spɛns/、excessive /sɛs/、digestive /dʒɛs/)。digestive 与 exhaustive 都含拼写片段 -stive,但重读元音分别为 /ɛ/ 和 /ɔ/。注意 expensive、excessive 以 ex- 开头且以 -ive 结尾,容易看成同韵词,实际发音并不相同。
