Context & Register
语域：formal 常见场景：written English、formal speech、literary texts 此处选取“乐观自信的”这一常用义项。该词多用于正式书面语或文学性表达，语气比 optimistic 更正式、典雅。日常口语中比较少见，使用时可表达对未来的积极期待。
Pronunciation & Spelling
Genuine sound matches for the /æŋɡwɪ/ part: anguish, languid, and language contain the same stressed vowel plus /ŋɡwɪ/ as sanguine, but end with different consonants, so they are near-rhymes, not exact rhymes. Distinguish keeps the /ŋɡwɪ/ cluster but uses a different stressed vowel (/ɪ/). Useful lookalikes that sound different: guinea /ˈɡɪni/ (not /ˈɡwɪni/) and engine /ˈɛndʒɪn/ (the '-gine' ending sounds like /dʒɪn/).
