Learner notes
Memory Tip
记住 'significant' 中的 'sign'（标志），重要的事物都有标志。
Context & Register
常见场景：学术写作、统计报告、日常对话 该词在正式语域（如学术、统计）中常表示“重要的”或“显著的”，在非正式语域中也可表示“相当大的”，因此语域混合。
Grammar Note
常用作定语或表语，后接介词 for 或 to 表示'对……重要'。
Pronunciation & Spelling
Words like 'important', 'indignant', and 'resistant' share the second-syllable stress and end with a similar '-ənt' sound, but they do not fully rhyme with 'significant' because of differing consonant clusters (e.g., /fɪk/ vs. /pɔːrt/). 'Applicant', 'tolerant', and 'distant' are lookalikes with different stress patterns (first-syllable stress) and should not be assumed to rhyme.
