语境与语域Context & Register
语域：neutral 常见场景：biology class、zoo、everyday conversation 作名词表示爬行动物时，通常用于中性场合；在科普、教学或日常谈论动物时都较常见，正式与口语中均可使用。
发音与拼写Pronunciation & Spelling
The words above all end with the same /aɪl/ sound as the last syllable of reptile; tile also shares the exact spelling -tile. Style is a sound match but is spelled with -yle. Beware of lookalikes such as missile and hostile, which are often pronounced with a reduced final syllable (/səl/ or /təl/) in American English and therefore have a different sound.
