Memory Tip
non-(不)+ linear(直线)——不成直线、不按比例变化,结果难以预测,就是非线性。
Context & Register
语域:mixed 常见场景:数学或工程文献、学术课堂、数据报告、文学或影视评论 在数学、物理、工程等专业领域,nonlinear 通常是正式术语;在谈论叙事、人物或社会变化时也可作为一般形容词,比较中性。日常口语较少使用。
Grammar Note
通常用于修饰名词,如 nonlinear system(非线性系统)。
Pronunciation & Spelling
nonlinear 与 linear 从重读音节起发音完全相同,二者押韵。lineal 的读音非常接近,但末尾比 nonlinear 多一个 /l/。line 和 liner 是容易看错的形近词,i 在它们中发 /aɪ/;lineage 虽以 line- 开头,但结尾为 /ɪdʒ/,读音均与 nonlinear 不同。
