Context & Register
语域：formal 常见场景：formal writing、religious or philosophical discussion、describing a person's character unworldly 较正式，常见于文学或书面描述，多用于形容人超脱世俗、不重物质，或天真不谙世事；日常口语中较少使用。
Pronunciation & Spelling
真正押韵的是 worldly（重读元音及之后的 /wɜːrldli/ 完全一致）。world、whirled、curled 含有相同的 /wɜːrld/ 或 /ɜːrld/ 音，但没有结尾的 /li/，不算整词押韵。拼写相似的 unearthly /ʌnˈɜːrθli/ 和 unwieldy /ʌnˈwiːldi/ 读音不同，注意不要按 unworldly 的元音去读。
