Learner notes
Memory Tip
记住 'leaving' 的 'lea' 像中文'离'，加上 -ing 名词化，就是'离开、离去'这个动作。
Context & Register
语域：neutral 常见场景：日常口语、书面叙述 leaving 作名词表示‘离开’时，语气比较中性，口语和书面语中都可用；正式场合有时更常用 departure，但 leaving 本身并不算口语化。
Pronunciation & Spelling
以上单词都与 leaving 押韵：重读元音都是 /iː/，后面都是 /vɪŋ/。注意拼写：weaving 和 heaving 与 leaving 一样用 -eaving，而 grieving、believing、achieving、receiving 用 -ieving/-eiving。小心 living /ˈlɪvɪŋ/，拼写相似，但元音是短 /ɪ/，不押韵。
