Memory Tip

Context & Register
语域：formal 常见场景：法律/金融文件、新闻报道、合同条款 多用于法律或金融语境，比较正式；日常口语中较少使用，多写作“收回抵押品”。
Pronunciation & Spelling
发音说明：'possession'（pəˈzeʃən）和'dispossession'（ˌdɪspəˈzeʃən）与'repossession'（ˌriːpəˈzeʃən）押韵，因为重读部分都是/zeʃən/。注意：'session'（ˈseʃən）、'confession'（kənˈfeʃən）、'obsession'（əbˈseʃən）和'recession'（rɪˈseʃən）拼写相似，但重读元音前的辅音是/s/或/ʃ/，不是/z/，所以不押韵。
