把 resident 拆作 re+side+ent 记：反复待在同一侧(地方)的人，就是“居民/常驻的”。
语域：mixed 常见场景：official documents、technical writing、formal reports 该形容词多用于正式或书面语境，如官方文件、法律文本和技术文档；日常口语中较少直接使用，表示“居住在某地的”时常改用 local 等词。
“resident”与“president”押韵（重读音节及之后的发音相同：/ˈrɛzɪdənt/ vs /ˈprɛzɪdənt/）。注意“confident”“evident”“incident”“accident”虽都以 -dent/-dənt 结尾，但重读元音或辅音不同，并不与“resident”押韵。
