Appal 是英式拼法,少一个 l;想像 'a pal'(朋友)绝不会让你 appal,只有吓得脸色发白(pale)的人才会 appal。
语域:neutral 常见场景:serious writing、news reports、personal reactions 该词是 appall 的英式拼写,意为“使惊骇,使吓坏”。它属于中性偏正式用词,通常多用于较为严肃的书面或正式场合,例如新闻报道、正式陈述或表达个人强烈反感时。日常口语中也有使用,但相对少见。
这些词与 appal 押韵:重读元音及后续辅音一致(标准英式英语为 /ɔːl/;给出的 appal 音标为 /əˈpɒːl/)。注意拼写上易混淆的 pal /pæl/ 和 opal /ˈəʊpəl/ 发音不同,与 appal 不押韵。
