Memory Tip

Context & Register
语域：neutral 常见场景：news reports、legal contexts 该名词形式多用于新闻报道或官方描述中，表示群体暴力造成的混乱状态；日常口语中更常用动词 riot 或名词 riot。作为不可数名词，通常不加复数，但表示多起事件时可用 riotings。
Pronunciation & Spelling
与 rioting /ˈraɪətɪŋ/ 真正押韵的是 quieting /ˈkwaɪətɪŋ/ 和 disquieting /dɪsˈkwaɪətɪŋ/，它们从重读音节起同为 /aɪətɪŋ/。注意 voting /ˈvoʊtɪŋ/、quoting /ˈkwoʊtɪŋ/、noting /ˈnoʊtɪŋ/、doting /ˈdoʊtɪŋ/ 虽以 -oting 结尾，但读音为 /oʊtɪŋ/，与 rioting 的 /aɪə/ 不同。
