Memory Tip
联想：video（视频）+ tape（磁带）→ 录像磁带。想象老式录像机把电视节目录在一盘磁带上，记住这两个词就记住了意思。
Context & Register
语域：neutral 常见场景：家庭录像与资料存档、录制电视节目或讲座、教学/培训中现场录制 作名词时指录像带或录像资料；作动词时指用录像带录制。该词偏中性，日常和正式语境都可用；不过随着数字录制普及，现在多用于指模拟录像或老式录像，也可说 videotape a program 表示录下电视节目。
Pronunciation & Spelling
这些单词都以 /eɪp/ 音结尾，与 videotape 的最后一个音节押韵：tape, shape, cape, grape, scrape, escape。注意：tap /tæp/ 和 tapestry /ˈtæpɪstri/ 看起来像 tape，但发音不同，不押韵。
