Learner notes
Memory Tip
联想记忆:particular 里藏着 part(部分),名词就指从整体中切出的一小部分——细节、个别情况。
Context & Register
语域:formal 常见场景:formal writing、official documents、philosophy/logic discussions 作名词时通常指“细节、具体事实”(如 the particulars of the case),多用于正式书面语和需要列明细节的场合;在逻辑学中还可表示“特称命题”或“个别事物”。日常口语更常用 details。
Grammar Note
常以复数形式 particular 出现,表示细节或具体事实。
Pronunciation & Spelling
与 particular /pɚˈtɪkjəlɚ/ 真正押韵的是 curricular /kəˈrɪkjəlɚ/ 和 perpendicular /ˌpɝpənˈdɪkjəlɚ/:重音都在 /ɪ/,后面接 /kjəlɚ/。注意拼写相似的 spectacular /spekˈtækjəlɚ/、molecular /məˈlɛkjəlɚ/ 重读元音分别为 /æ/ 和 /ɛ/,不押韵;particle /ˈpɑrtɪkəl/ 和 article /ˈɑrtɪkəl/ 不但重音在首音节,而且没有 /j/ 音,读音完全不同,只是拼写容易混淆。
