联想拆解:un-(不)+ equivocal(模棱两可)+ -ly,否定之后就是“不容两种解释”,记成:只有一个声音,明确不含糊。
语域:formal 常见场景:formal statements、academic writing、official announcements 该词多用于正式书面语或正式发言,表达‘明确地、不含糊地’;日常口语中较少出现,可用 clearly 等更自然的词代替。
unequivocally 的 -ally 读 /əlɪ/。naturally、generally、actually、eventually 的结尾都含 /əli/(actual/eventual 里为 /uəli/),与 /əlɪ/ 构成真实的声音匹配;而 specifically、basically 虽同为 -ically/-ally 结尾,但在常速口语中常压缩为 /ɪkli/,中间的 /ə/ 被弱读或省略,注意不要按拼写读成 /ɪkəli/。
