语域：mixed 常见场景：海事救援、保险理赔、新闻报道、日常交谈 salvage 的语域比较多样：在海事救援、保险等专业场合通常较正式、偏书面；在日常或书面中也可用于抽象意义，如挽回损失、挽救局面，语气多为中性。选择时可根据语境和搭配使用。
Salvage is pronounced /ˈsælvɪdʒ/. The words village, image, package, passage, and damage all end in the letters '-age' and have the final sound /ɪdʒ/, but their stressed vowels differ from salvage's /æ/, so they do not fully rhyme with it. Garage is a lookalike: it also ends in '-age' but is often pronounced /ɡəˈrɑːʒ/, not /ɪdʒ/.
