语境与语域Context & Register
语域:formal 常见场景:news reports、literary descriptions fearsome 是形容词,表示‘令人恐惧的、可怕的’,通常用于书面或较正式的场合,如新闻报道和文学描写;日常口语中较少使用,语气较文雅或严肃。
发音与拼写Pronunciation & Spelling
这些词拼写上都以 -some 结尾,但读音并不相同:fearsome 读作 /ˈfɪrsəm/(英式 /ˈfɪəsəm/),而 awesome、handsome 等词的元音各不相同,因此它们与 fearsome 并不押韵。不要只凭拼写判断读音。
