语境与语域Context & Register
语域：neutral 常见场景：新闻报道、文学描写、正式演讲 作形容词时通常用于书面或较正式的场合，多用来描述承受痛苦的人或群体；日常口语中更常说 in pain 或 hurt。
发音与拼写Pronunciation & Spelling
True rhyme: buffering shares the same stressed vowel and ending /ʌfɝɪŋ/. Wondering and thundering have the same stressed vowel /ʌ/ and the -ering ending, but the consonant before the ending differs (/nd/ vs /f/), so they do not fully rhyme. Offering has nearly the same spelling ending but a different stressed vowel (/ɔː/ vs /ʌ/), so it is a lookalike, not a rhyme.
