语域：formal 常见场景：文学作品、诗歌、悼念仪式 lament 作名词时多用于正式或文学语境，比较常见于诗歌、悼词和严肃的书面叙述中，日常口语中较少单用。若表示日常的悲伤或抱怨，英语中更常用 grief、complaint 等词。
All the words above share the final sound /ɛnt/ and rhyme with the stressed '-ment' in 'lament' (/ləˈmɛnt/). Beware of words spelled with '-ment' but pronounced /mənt/, such as 'moment' (/ˈmoʊmənt/), 'payment' (/ˈpeɪmənt/), and 'document' (/ˈdɒkjəmənt/). Also, 'comment' (/ˈkɒmɛnt/) has the same spelling ending but stress on the first syllable, so it does not rhyme either.
