Learner notes
Memory Tip
tolerable 拆成 tolerate(容忍)+ able(能),即“能容忍的”。联想:虽然不完美,但“他乐了”(tolerable 谐音),说明还能接受。
Context & Register
语域:formal 常见场景:书面或正式评价、学术/工作场合 tolerable 通常带有较正式或书面色彩,多用来表示“可容忍的、还过得去”。在日常口语中比较少见,较常用 bearable 或 okay。
Pronunciation & Spelling
没有常见词与 tolerable /ˈtɑlɝəbəl/ 完全押韵:它的重读元音是 /ɑ/ 且后面是 /l/。所列单词都带有拼写后缀 -able 和非重读结尾 /əbəl/,但重读音节不同。probable 的重读元音同为 /ɑ/,但后面是 /b/ 而不是 /l/,因此不押韵;acceptable 的重读元音是 /ɛ/,也要注意区别。
