Memory Tip
联想记忆：lavish开头的‘lav’像‘lava’（岩浆），岩浆喷涌源源不断，象征 lavish 的慷慨挥霍与丰富。
Context & Register
语域：mixed 常见场景：formal and news writing、describing celebrations, gifts, or hospitality、commenting on spending and luxury 作为形容词，lavish 通常多用于较正式的书面或新闻语体，表示“非常慷慨的、奢华的、大量的”；口语中也能使用，但比较常见于谈论派对、礼物或花费等场合，语气带有铺张或大方的意味。请根据语境判断褒贬，不建议在随意对话中把它当作普通褒义词。
Pronunciation & Spelling
只有 ravish /ˈrævɪʃ/ 与 lavish 真正押韵。vanish、banish、varnish 等词虽以 -sh 结尾，但重读元音或辅音不同，不算押韵；savage 拼写相近，但结尾读 /ɪdʒ/，发音明显不同。
