Learner notes
Memory Tip
联想 long（长）+ evity（似 ever，永恒）：长寿就是生命长久延续。注意词首是 long，别拼成 lom。
Context & Register
语域：neutral 常见场景：workplace、product documentation、service contracts 本词表示“服务年限”或“使用期限”时，通常用于中性或正式的书面语境，多出现在职场、技术文档和合同条款中；日常口语中较少使用。
Pronunciation & Spelling
真正同韵词：brevity、levity（/ɛvəti/）与 longevity 押韵；拼写以 -vity 结尾的 gravity、activity 并不押韵，注意元音不同。另外，longevity 开头的 long 拼写与 long 相同，但读 /lɔn/，不是 /lɔŋ/。
