Learner notes
Memory Tip
记忆：step 是“一步、迈进”，继女是随再婚“迈入”新家庭的女儿，所以 stepdaughter 就是“继女”。
Context & Register
语域：neutral 常见场景：家庭介绍、日常谈话、正式表格与法律文书 stepdaughter 是标准亲属称谓，正式与非正式场合都通用。日常介绍家人或填写正式表格时都可以使用，通常不需要刻意选择语体。
Grammar Note
指配偶在前段婚姻中所生的女儿，不一定是自己亲生的女儿。
Pronunciation & Spelling
Genuine sound matches: daughter (/ˈdɔtɚ/), granddaughter (/ˈɡrænˌdɔtɚ/), and slaughter (/ˈslɔtɚ/) share the /ɔtɚ/ sound at the end with stepdaughter. stepson and stepmother share the initial /stɛp/ but do not rhyme with stepdaughter because the endings differ. Lookalike warning: laughter is spelled like daughter and slaughter but pronounced /ˈlæftɚ/, not /ɔtɚ/ — do not pronounce the '-aughter' the same way.
