语域:formal 常见场景:career planning、religious life、formal writing vocation 在这里指“适合并受过训练的职业”,常带有“使命感、天职”的含义。它比 job 或 career 更正式,多用于正式写作、职业规划或宗教语境;日常口语中较少用,通常直接说 job 或 career。
发音与拼写Pronunciation & Spelling
这些词都以 -cation 或 -ation 结尾,重读元音 /eɪ/ 与后面的 /ʃən/ 发音相同,均与 vocation /voʊˈkeɪʃən/ 押韵。注意 vocation(职业)与 vacation(假期)拼写相似且押韵,但第一个音节不同:vocation 为 /voʊˈkeɪʃən/,vacation 为 /veɪˈkeɪʃən/,意思也不同。另注意 vocal /ˈvoʊkəl/ 虽然以 v-o-c- 开头,但与 vocation 读音和意义差别很大。
