Memory Tip

Context & Register
语域：formal 常见场景：宗教仪式、文学文本、正式演讲 reverence 作动词时非常正式，多用于宗教或文学语境，日常口语中很少使用，通常可用 respect 或 venerate 替代。
Pronunciation & Spelling
只有 irreverence 与 reverence 完全押韵（/ɪˈrɛvərəns/）。preference、reference、deference 都以 /ərəns/ 结尾，但重读音节中是 /f/ 而非 /v/，所以只是拼写相似，并不完全押韵。difference 和 inference 的重读元音是 /ɪ/，与 /ɛ/ 不同，也不押韵。
