Learner notes
Memory Tip
kindred 以 kin 开头，kin 就是亲人；red 是红色——亲人流着相同的血，同族亲属。
Context & Register
语域：formal 常见场景：文学作品中、正式书面语、谈论家族或祖先时 kindred 作名词表示“亲属”或“同族”，比较正式，多用于文学或庄重的书面场合；日常口语中更常说 relatives 或 family。
Grammar Note
作可数名词时，指有血缘或婚姻关系的群体；但常作为集合名词使用，此时视为单数。
Pronunciation & Spelling
kindred 读作 /ˈkɪndrɪd/，重音在第一音节。kin、kinship 与它开头相同，都发 /kɪn/，但这不是韵脚；kindle 以 /kɪnd/ 开头，同样不押韵。拼写相似的 kind 读 /kaɪnd/，hundred 读 /ˈhʌndrəd/，都与 kindred 的 /ˈkɪndrɪd/ 不同音。
