记忆技巧Memory Tip
hear + say：你“听到”别人“说”，却不是亲眼所见——这就是传闻。记住“听说的”不可靠。
语境与语域Context & Register
语域：mixed 常见场景：法律诉讼、日常对话 hearsay 多用于日常口语，指未经证实的传闻或道听途说；在法律语境中则特指传闻证据，通常不被法庭采信。正式程度随使用场合变化，法律场合较正式，日常交流中则较为随意。
发音与拼写Pronunciation & Spelling
The final syllable of hearsay is /seɪ/, so it rhymes with say (/seɪ/), day (/deɪ/), way (/weɪ/), essay (/ˈɛseɪ/), and dismay (/dɪsˈmeɪ/). Warning: heresy (/ˈhɛrəsi/) looks similar but has three syllables and a different vowel; says (/sɛz/) is the form of say and is not pronounced /seɪz/.
