Learner notes
Memory Tip
把 profane 中的 fane 想成“翻”：把神圣之物翻过来踩踏，嘴里还冒脏话，就是 profane（亵渎的）。
Context & Register
语域：formal 常见场景：formal writing、religious discussion、discussion of coarse language 作形容词时，profane 通常偏正式，多用于书面语、正式场合，或需要在正式语体中委婉表示“说脏话”时；日常口语更常说 swear words、cursing 或 bad language。具体含义（亵渎的、世俗的、满口脏话的）要根据语境判断。
Pronunciation & Spelling
plane、cane、mane、crane、rain、vain 都与 profane 押韵，重读音节都是 /eɪn/。注意拼写相似但读音不同的词：profile /ˈproʊfaɪl/ 和 profess /prəˈfɛs/ 只是前缀像 profane，发音并不相同。
