Learner notes
Memory Tip
把 tri 联想成 three（三），三部内容相关的作品成套出现，就是 trilogy 三部曲。
Context & Register
语域：neutral 常见场景：文学评论、影视介绍、出版宣传 trilogy 通常用于中性或正式语境，多出现在文学、影视作品介绍或评论中；日常口语里直接说“三部曲”也很常见。
Grammar Note
可数名词，复数形式为 trilogies；常与介词 of 连用，表示'三部...'的结构
Pronunciation & Spelling
没有普通常用词与 trilogy /ˈtrɪlədʒi/ 完全押韵。拼写相似的词可分两组：tri- 开头的词（triangle、tricycle、tripod）中 tri 读 /traɪ/，而 trilogy 的开头读 /trɪ/；-logy 结尾的词（biology、geology、psychology）虽然拼写相同，但重音和元音不同（如 biology /baɪˈɒlədʒi/），因此都不与 trilogy 押韵。
Usage priority
Collins 词频等级为 1，建议结合例句记忆，而不是只背中文释义。
