记忆技巧Memory Tip
记忆联想：finger是“手指”，print是“印”，手指按下的印痕就是指纹，独一无二，像身份证一样识别身份。
语境与语域Context & Register
语域：neutral 常见场景：police investigation、identity verification、smartphone unlocking 这里主要谈“指纹”的本义，即手指皮肤纹路的印痕，常用于刑事侦查、身份识别等场合，语气中性，正式和非正式场合都常见；日常说到手机指纹解锁时也很常用。
发音与拼写Pronunciation & Spelling
真正押韵的词：print、sprint、hint、flint、mint，都以 /ɪnt/ 结尾（单音节词重音在该音节上，sprint 的 -print 也重读）。注意：名词 imprint /ˈɪmprɪnt/ 拼写以 -print 结尾，但重音在第一个音节，/prɪnt/ 不重读，因此不押韵；动词 imprint /ɪmˈprɪnt/ 才押韵。
