语境与语域Context & Register
语域：formal 常见场景：religious services、formal lectures、literary writing homily 在宗教场合指简短的布道；在日常生活中多含贬义，指令人厌烦的道德说教。它在文体上比较正式，多见于书面语或正式演讲，非正式口语中不太常用。
发音与拼写Pronunciation & Spelling
Homily starts with /hɒmɪ/, so homage /ˈhɒmɪdʒ/ and homicide /ˈhɒmɪsaɪd/ match its opening sound but do not rhyme with it. Words ending in -ily such as easily, happily, heavily, and family share the spelling -ily, but they stress a different syllable and do not rhyme; family usually reduces the ending to /əli/ or /fli/ rather than /ɪli/.
