Memory Tip
in=向里，flow=流动；想象水“向里流”进容器的画面，记住 inflow 就是“流入、涌入”。
Context & Register
语域：neutral 常见场景：economics、water resources、formal writing inflow 通常属于中性词，不特别正式也不口语化；多用于经济、金融（如 capital inflow）和水利工程（如 water inflow）等书面或技术性语境，日常口语中单独使用较少。
Grammar Note
可数名词，常与of连用
Pronunciation & Spelling
Genuine matches for the final -flow syllable: inflow, outflow, overflow, and flow all end in /fləu/. Note the stress: inflow and outflow stress the first syllable; flow is one syllable; overflow as a noun stresses the first syllable /ˈəuvəfləu/, but as a verb it stresses the final syllable /ˌəuvəˈfləu/. Low and blow share the /əu/ sound but are not -flow words. Influx is a lookalike that begins with infl- but is pronounced /ˈɪnflʌks/, so it does not rhyme with inflow.
