语境与语域Context & Register
语域：formal 常见场景：formal writing、literary criticism、public speaking 此处取“超越适当限度”之义，多用于正式语体或文学评论，常形容言辞、主张或行为失度；日常口语中较少见。
发音与拼写Pronunciation & Spelling
dance、glance、chance、France（美式）都以 /æns/ 收尾，彼此押韵；extravagance 的 -gance 却读 /ɡəns/，与它们只是拼写相似，发音不同。elegance、arrogance 与 extravagance 同以 -gance 拼写，词尾也读 /ɡəns/，但重音不在同一音节，所以并不是严格的同韵词。
