Learner notes
Memory Tip
联想：pro（前）+file（档案），给档案加个正面简介或侧面像，即“写简介/画侧面轮廓”。
Context & Register
语域：mixed 常见场景：journalism、business writing、art/portraiture 作动词时，profile 通常用于书面或较正式场合：作“写简介/概述”讲时常见于新闻、商业介绍；作“画侧面像/轮廓”讲时多用于艺术评述。日常口语中较少使用。
Pronunciation & Spelling
这些词中，file、mile、smile、while、compile 都以 -ile 结尾并读 /aɪl/；profile 的 -file 带次重音 /ˌfaɪl/，与它们押韵。missile 是形近陷阱：美式英语读 /ˈmɪsəl/，-ile 不读 /aɪl/。
