Learner notes
Memory Tip
Rescue音似'若救'，意为'若需救援'，想象呼救场景。
Context & Register
多用于正式或紧急情境，如灾害救援、医疗急救，也常用于日常生活中的动物救助等场合。正式程度取决于具体搭配，通常偏正式。
Grammar Note
名词常与from连用，表示从...中救出。
Pronunciation & Spelling
Words ending in -cue (cue, queue) share the exact /kjuː/ sound with the final syllable of rescue. Words ending in -ue with other consonants (due, sue, glue, blue) share the vowel /uː/ but have different initial consonants. Note that the stress in rescue is on the first syllable, so these words do not rhyme perfectly.
