易混淆词

stem
EN: 'Stem' is the front (bow) part of a ship or a plant stalk; 'stern' is the rear part of a ship.
zh: 'Stem' 指船的前部（船首）或植物的茎；'stern' 指船的后部。
sternum
EN: 'Sternum' is the breastbone (anatomical term from Latin); it is not derived from 'stern' meaning strict or the rear of a ship.
zh: 'Sternum' 是胸骨（源自拉丁语的解剖学术语）；它并非源自表示“严格”或“船尾”的 'stern'。

拼写提示

EN: Do not confuse 'stern' (strict; rear of a ship) with 'sternum' (breastbone), which has a different etymology and an extra syllable.
zh: 不要将 'stern'（严格的；船尾）与 'sternum'（胸骨）混淆，后者词源不同且多一个音节。
