Memory Tip
联想 intricate（复杂）的开头 intri，intrigue 就是暗中策划的复杂阴谋或情节。
Context & Register
语域：formal 常见场景：political and historical writing、literary criticism、formal prose intrigue 作名词时通常属于正式或书面语词汇，多用于政治、历史或文学情境中，表示秘密策划或复杂情节。日常口语中较少出现，而“私通/不正当关系”这个义项在现代英语中显得古旧，多见于文学或历史作品。
Pronunciation & Spelling
真正与 intrigue /ɪnˈtriːɡ/ 押韵的是 league /liːɡ/ 和 fatigue /fəˈtiːɡ/，都以 /iːɡ/ 结尾。vague 和 plague 拼写相似但读 /eɪɡ/，rogue 读 /oʊɡ/；colleague 虽以 -league 结尾，但重音在第一个音节，读 /ˈkɒliːɡ/，并不押韵。
