Context & Register
语域：mixed 常见场景：历史与文学语境、正式书面语、法律文件（地役权） 该词整体属于正式用语，多用于历史、文学或法律书面语；在历史或抽象讨论中常指‘奴役/奴隶状态’，在法律语境中则指‘地役权’。日常口语中很少出现。
Pronunciation & Spelling
这些词都以 -itude 结尾，末尾弱读音节为 /ɪtjuːd/，但都与 servitude 不构成完全押韵：servitude 的重音在首音节 /sɜː/，而这些词的重音分别落在 /æ/、/ɡræ/、/læ/、/lɒn/、/mæɡ/、/sɒl/ 上。注意不要把 servitude 误读成 /ˈsɜːvaɪtjuːd/，也不要把它与拼写相似的 servile /ˈsɜːvaɪl/ 混淆。
