Learner notes
Memory Tip
潮水把船带进带出港口，tide 也“带”你渡过难关：tide over = 帮人撑过去。
Context & Register
语域：mixed 常见场景：日常交流（尤其 tide over 短语）、航海或文学语境（字面义） 作动词时，tide 最常用在短语 tide over 中，表示帮助渡过难关，语气自然，日常和书面语都可用；字面义为随潮水漂流或趁潮进出港口，则比较正式，多见于航海或文学描述。具体语气需看搭配。
Pronunciation & Spelling
这些词都以 -ide 结尾，并且与 tide 一样读作 /aɪd/，构成真正的押韵。注意不要与拼写相近但发音不同的词混淆，例如 tidy (/ˈtaɪdi/) 和 tie (/taɪ/)。
