记忆技巧Memory Tip
narrow（窄）+ ness（名词后缀）＝狭小；联想窄路只容一人，心胸也跟着变‘小气’。
语境与语域Context & Register
语域：mixed 常见场景：日常描述（物理宽度）、正式或学术写作（抽象局限） narrowness 作名词时，语域视意义而定：表示“狭窄”时多用于客观描述，属中性；表示“局限、狭隘”时比较常见于正式或书面语，如讨论视野或观念。日常口语中更常用 narrow 或 width 表达物理宽度。
发音与拼写Pronunciation & Spelling
以上词的词尾都读作非重读的 /nəs/，且重音都在第一个音节，因此它们与 narrowness（重音在第一个音节）并不押韵，只是拼写后缀相同。注意 business 虽也以 -ness 结尾，但读作 /ˈbɪznəs/，不是 busy 加 ness，不能按拼写读成 /ˈbɪzɪnəs/。
