Learner notes
Memory Tip
w不发音，rath读如“path”（/ræθ/），愤怒到极点如走上惩罚之路，wrath即盛怒。
Context & Register
语域：formal 常见场景：文学作品、正式演讲、宗教文本 wrath 通常用于正式或文学语境，多指非常强烈、带有惩罚或报复意味的愤怒；日常口语中较少使用，比较常见于书面表达。
Pronunciation & Spelling
Words ending in -ath with /æθ/ rhyme with /ræθ/ in American English: bath, path, math, lath. However, in British English, bath and path are pronounced /bɑːθ/ and /pɑːθ/, so they do not rhyme. Wreath /riːθ/ and wroth /rɔːθ/ look similar but have different vowel sounds, so they do not rhyme with wrath.
