Learner notes
Memory Tip
联想：spirituality 拼写以 spirit（精神）开头，但这个义项指教会财产/收入——教会的‘精神’事业也需要物质支撑。
Context & Register
语域：formal 常见场景：legal documents、church history、ecclesiastical law 这个义项指教会拥有的财产或收入，多用于法律文书、教会历史等正式语境，日常英语中很少见；它和常见的“灵性、精神性”含义不同。
Pronunciation & Spelling
拼作 -uality 的 actuality、eventuality、punctuality、individuality 与 spirituality 的 /ˈæləti/ 部分押韵；但 quality /ˈkwɑːləti/ 和 equality /iˈkwɑːləti/ 虽也含 -uality，读音为 /kwɑː/，并不押韵。
