谐音是指两个或多个单词发音相同,但意思不同的单词。这种情况通常出现在同音字或多义词中。
例如:
"Bare" 和 "Bear" 是谐音。它们的意思分别是 "裸的" 和 "熊"。
"Fleece" 和 "Fleas" 是谐音。它们的意思分别是 "羊毛" 和 "跳蚤"。
谐音来源于拉丁语,其中 "homo-" 意为 "相同","phone" 意为 "声音"。因此,谐音可以被翻译为 "相同的声音"。
例句:
"I can't believe I mixed up 'bare' and 'bear' again. They're homophones, but their meanings are completely different."
"The word 'fleece' is often confused with 'fleas' because they're homophones. Be careful not to mix them up in your writing."
