Context & Register
语域：formal 常见场景：formal writing、literature、speeches 该词多用于正式或书面语境，常与 at 或 that 从句连用，表示“惊叹、感到惊奇”；日常口语中通常用 be amazed 或 be surprised 更自然。
Grammar Note
常作不及物动词，后接 at、over 或 about，也可接 that 从句。
Pronunciation & Spelling
这些词都以 -vel 结尾，末尾都读 /vəl/，但重读元音不同：travel、gravel 读 /æ/，novel 读 /ɑ/，level 读 /ɛ/，navel 读 /eɪ/，shovel 读 /ʌ/。它们都不是 marvel /ˈmɑrvəl/ 的完全押韵词，因为 marvel 的重读部分带有 /r/（/ɑr/）；其中 novel 元音最接近，但缺少 /r/。
