用法模式：
the saviour of [someone/something]
常见错误：
Learners sometimes use "saviour" for any small help, but in English it usually sounds strong and dramatic, used when the help is very important. Also, the British spelling is "saviour" while the American spelling is "savior"; both are correct in their own varieties of English.
近义词
rescuer (More general and factual; does not carry the same dramatic or emotional force as "saviour".)
