Context & Register
中性用语，多用于学术写作、正式报告，日常对话中提及参考或推荐人时也常见。
Pronunciation & Spelling
Words ending in '-ence' share the spelling pattern. Only 'preference' (/ˈpɹɛf.ɹəns/) rhymes with 'reference' (/ˈɹɛf.ɹəns/) because the stressed vowel /ɛ/ and the following /ɹəns/ match. Words like 'difference' (/ˈdɪf.ɹəns/) and 'occurrence' (/əˈkɜɹ.əns/) have different stressed vowels. 'Essence' (/ˈɛs.əns/) lacks the /r/ sound, so it does not rhyme.
