Context & Register
语域：formal 常见场景：heraldry、mineralogy、art materials 作名词时，sanguine 比较常见于正式、书面或专业场景（如纹章学、矿物学、美术），日常英语通常用 red 或 blood-red 表示“血红色”。此词较生僻，建议以识别为主。
Pronunciation & Spelling
No common English word rhymes exactly with /ˈsæŋɡwɪn/. Closest sound matches are 'anguish' /ˈæŋɡwɪʃ/ and 'language' /ˈlæŋɡwɪdʒ/, which share the /æŋɡwɪ/ sequence but have different endings. Beware lookalikes: 'penguin' /ˈpɛŋɡwɪn/ has the same /ɡwɪn/ ending but a different stressed vowel, and 'linguine' /lɪŋˈɡwiːni/ is spelled -guine but pronounced very differently. 'Extinguish' /ɪkˈstɪŋɡwɪʃ/ also has the /ɡw/ sound but does not rhyme.
