Context & Register
语域：informal 常见场景：娱乐新闻、日常对话、名人模仿秀 该词为名词，多用于口语或娱乐语境，指长相酷似某人（尤其是名人）的人；正式写作中比较少见，但日常使用很自然。
Pronunciation & Spelling
这些词都含有 -like 后缀，结尾拼写和发音 /laɪk/ 相同。但 lookalike /ˈlʊkəlaɪk/ 重音在第一音节，而 alike、unlike、dislike 重音在第二音节，因此它们与 lookalike 不押韵。lifelike、childlike、ladylike 与 lookalike 一样重音在第一音节，后半部分 /laɪk/ 弱读，发音模式更接近。
