cheat

★★

🇺🇸 /tʃˈit/

noun 编号: C01143 牛津3000 BNC #5936 COCA #4369

cheat 的核心意思是通过欺骗或违反规则取得不公平的好处；它既可指作弊、欺骗，也可指作弊者、游戏中的作弊手段，以及在感情关系中不忠。

💡 记忆钩子

把 cheat 想成“偷偷绕过规则拿好处”：考试时违规是作弊，欺骗别人获利是欺骗，绕过游戏规则的是作弊码；这个核心还延伸到对伴侣不忠，以及侥幸避开原本难以逃脱的事情。

📝 学习建议

先掌握“违反规则作弊”和“欺骗某人”这两个核心意思，再记忆感情关系中的“不忠”以及游戏语境中的名词用法。
不要把 cheat 只理解成考试作弊；在感情语境中，它通常指对伴侣不忠，而不是泛指做错事。
