Learner notes
Memory Tip
记 ruby：红宝石（ruby）深红如血，拼写 r-u-b-y 像‘ru 比’；复数 rubies 把 y 变 i 加 es，别忘。
Context & Register
语域：neutral 常见场景：珠宝行业与收藏、宝石学或矿物词典、时尚、设计中的颜色描述 作名词时通常用于中性语境，多出现在珠宝、收藏、宝石学以及颜色描述中；正式书面语也自然，口语里单独用 ruby 指“深红色”不如指“红宝石”常见。实际含义需根据上下文判断。
Pronunciation & Spelling
与 booby、newbie 押韵（三者都以 /uːbi/ 结尾）。注意：tubby、cubby、stubby 拼写与 ruby 相似，但读作 /ʌbi/，不押韵。
Usage priority
