Learner notes
Memory Tip
记忆：intrigue 里有 in，让人‘入迷’；同时暗藏‘诡计’，所以既指‘引起兴趣’也指‘密谋’。
Context & Register
语域：formal 常见场景：formal writing、formal conversation 当 intrigue 表示“引起兴趣、使着迷”时，属于较正式的书面用词，多用于文章、演讲或较正式的谈话；日常口语中更常说 be interested in 或 be fascinated by。
Grammar Note
及物动词表示'激起兴趣'，不及物动词表示'密谋'，与against连用。
Pronunciation & Spelling
真正的押韵词：league (/liːɡ/) 和 fatigue (/fəˈtiːɡ/) 与 intrigue 共享重读的 /iːɡ/ 音。colleague (/ˈkɒliːɡ/) 虽以 /liːɡ/ 结尾，但重音在首音节，因此不押韵。plague (/pleɪɡ/)、vague (/veɪɡ/) 和 rogue (/roʊɡ/) 只是拼写相似，发音分别含 /eɪɡ/ 和 /oʊɡ/，均不押韵。
