易混淆词

paramour
EN: 'Paramour' means a lover (especially an illicit one); 'paramount' means supreme or of the highest importance.

拼写提示

EN: Remember 'paramount' ends in '-ount' (from Anglo-French 'par amount' meaning 'above all'), not '-ount' as in 'amount'—though they share the same root. Do not confuse with 'paramour.'
zh: 记住 'paramount' 以 '-ount' 结尾(源自盎格鲁法语 'par amount',意为“在所有之上”),而不是像 'amount' 那样的拼写——尽管它们有相同的词根。不要与 'paramour' 混淆。
