Memory Tip
联想：fan(粉丝)+fare(似fair集市)，集市有粉丝，吹号造势——fanfare 即号角齐鸣、大张旗鼓的炫耀。
Context & Register
语域：neutral 常见场景：典礼与仪式、官方公告或产品发布、报刊报道与宣传 fanfare 作名词时有两个常见义项：一是典礼上嘹亮的铜管乐号角声，二是“大张旗鼓”的公开宣传或炫耀。两者通常用于正式或书面语境，多出现在新闻报道、官方活动或仪式描写中；日常口语较少直接使用。具体含义可借助搭配判断，如 with much fanfare（大肆宣传地）。
Pronunciation & Spelling
fanfare 的结尾 -fare 读作 /feə(r)/。与 fare、fair 完全同音，与 affair 的结尾音相同；但 warfare 和 welfare 虽然拼写也是 -fare，重音却落在第一个音节，且 war- 和 wel- 的元音不同，因此与 fanfare 不押韵。prepare 的结尾是 /peə(r)/，音近但首辅音不同。注意不要按拼写误判读音。
