联想：story（故事）+ teller（讲述者）＝讲故事的人；但故事可能是编的，所以口语中也指‘撒谎者’。
语域：informal 常见场景：casual conversation、mild criticism、speaking to children 作为“说谎的人”使用时，storyteller 通常带委婉或调侃语气，多用于日常对话、对小孩说话或轻度批评等非正式场合；正式书面语中较少出现。
前五个词都与 storyteller 末尾的 -teller 押韵：都含 /e/ + /lə/ 的音（teller、seller、cellar 同音、dweller、umbrella）。注意：taller /ˈtɔːlə/ 拼写很像，但元音不同，不押韵。
