记忆技巧Memory Tip
记忆联想：un（不）+ intelligible（可理解），像听含混外语广播，叽里咕噜——unintelligible 就是完全听不懂。
语境与语域Context & Register
语域：formal 常见场景：正式写作或报告、描述难以听清或理解的语音内容 通常用于书面或正式语境，表示内容无法理解或听不清楚；日常口语中较少使用。
发音与拼写Pronunciation & Spelling
只有 intelligible 与目标词真正押韵，因为它与 unintelligible 为同一词根，去掉前缀 un- 后发音从重读音节起完全一致。其他 -gible 词（eligible、legible、negligible、illegible）虽拼写相似，但重音位置或元音不同，均不押韵；gullible 的元音和 g 的发音也完全不同。注意勿仅凭 -ible 拼写推断读音。
