Memory Tip
谐音联想“瑞迪”：厨师喊“Ready（瑞迪）”时，饭菜已加热、准备就绪，可随时上桌。
Context & Register
语域：mixed 常见场景：军事或应急指令、新闻报道或政论、烹饪说明 动词 ready 的语域随意思而变：表示“使准备好”时多用于书面或较正式的场合（如新闻、政论、军事指令），表示“加热做熟”时则比较中性，常见于烹饪说明。日常口语中，表示“准备”往往用 get ready，表示“加热”往往用 heat 或 cook。
Pronunciation & Spelling
真押韵词：steady /ˈstɛdi/、already /ˌɔːlˈrɛdi/（重音同样落在 -read- 音节上）、heady /ˈhɛdi/、teddy /ˈtɛdi/、eddy /ˈɛdi/，它们都以重读的 /ɛd/ + /i/ 结尾。注意形似异音词 beady /ˈbiːdi/：虽然拼写同为 -eady，但它发长音 /iː/，并不与 ready 押韵。
