Context & Register
语域：neutral 常见场景：everyday conversation、describing someone's habits、acting and performance 作“个人特有的习惯性动作或说话方式”讲时，mannerism 通常属于中性词，多用于日常对话、人物描写或表演评论，并不一定含贬义。它强调某人反复出现的小动作或口头习惯。
Pronunciation & Spelling
manner 是 mannerism 的开头部分，读音 /ˈmænɚ/ 与 mannerism 中的 /mænɚ/ 一致。criticism、heroism、tourism、optimism、realism 都以 -ism 结尾，共享尾部读音 /ɪzəm/，但它们不押韵：mannerism 的重读元音是 /æ/，而这些词的重读元音各不相同（/ɪ/、/e/、/ʊ/、/ɑː/、/iː/）。注意 tourism 读作 /ˈtʊrɪzəm/，不要按拼写读成 /ˈtaʊrɪzəm/。
