记忆联想:re-(再)+ tard 形似 tart(挞)——挞再烤一会儿,节奏和进度就‘延迟、渐慢’;另该名词也指‘低能者’,含贬义,慎用。
语域:mixed 常见场景:formal/technical writing、music scores、derogatory colloquial speech 名词 retard 的语域随义项变化:表示“延迟、阻滞”多用于正式或技术性书面语;音乐中表示“渐慢”;而指“智力低下的人”是冒犯性口语用法,通常不宜使用。实际使用时需根据语境判断。
与 retard 押韵(/…ɑrd/)的常见词:card、hard、yard、guard、regard、vanguard,其中 regard 拼写相近且读音也含有相同的 /ɡɑrd/。注意形近但发音不同的词:standard /ˈstændərd/、steward /ˈstuːərd/、custard /ˈkʌstərd/,结尾并非重读的 /ɑrd/。
