记忆技巧Memory Tip
记忆联想：把verse（诗）倒着读，意思就'反'了——reverse=相反/反面/倒挡。
语境与语域Context & Register
语域：neutral 常见场景：formal writing、academic discussion、casual conversation 作为名词表示“相反的事物/对立面”时，多用于书面讨论或较正式的说明中，例如“the reverse is true”；日常口语中也会用“quite the reverse”。整体语域偏中性，但在随意对话里，说“opposite”往往更自然。
发音与拼写Pronunciation & Spelling
