记忆技巧Memory Tip
把 un- 想成‘不’，met 是 meet 的过去式‘见面/达到’；没达到、没被满足，就是 unmet。
语境与语域Context & Register
语域：formal 常见场景：policy documents、healthcare reports、academic writing unmet 多用于正式书面语境，如政策、医疗、研究等领域，表示需求、期望等未得到满足；日常口语中较少使用，更常说 hasn't been met 或 not satisfied。
发音与拼写Pronunciation & Spelling
These all rhyme with unmet (/ʌnˈmɛt/) because they contain the stressed /ɛt/ sound. Be careful: meet and mete look similar to met but are pronounced /miːt/, not /mɛt/.
