Memory Tip
联想：re(再)+in(入)+carn(肉/肉身)+ation → 再次进入肉身，即“转世”。这是帮助记忆的联想，不是词源解释。

语域：neutral 常见场景：religious discussion、philosophical writing 该词在日常对话和正式讨论中都比较常见，多用于宗教、哲学或灵性话题，语气中立。
Pronunciation & Spelling
All six words share the -ation spelling and rhyme with reincarnation: the stressed syllable is /eɪ/ followed by /ʃən/. In vacation and education, the stressed syllable is /keɪ/, but the vowel and following sounds match. Beware lookalikes such as reincarnate (/riːˈɪnkɑːrneɪt/), which ends in /eɪt/ and does not rhyme.
