把 valor 听成 value（价值）＋ or（选择）：在危难中选择做有价值的事，就是“英勇”。
语域：formal 常见场景：战争叙述、历史传记、正式演讲 该词是比较正式、偏文学或历史色彩的词，通常用来赞扬战场或危难中的英勇；日常口语中更常说 courage。多用于书面叙述、历史故事或正式演讲中。
这些词都不是 valor 的完全押韵词。color、favor 的词尾 -or 都读 /ɚ/，与 valor 结尾的 /ɚ/ 相同，但它们重音元音不同，因此不押韵；floor、door 的 -or 读 /ɔːr/，拼写相似但发音完全不同；valid、valiant 以 val- 开头，与 valor 同有 /væl/ 音节，但其余部分不同。
