Context & Register
语域：mixed 常见场景：dance class、social ballroom event、conversation about dance hobbies 作为动词的用法比较少见；在口语或轻松场合偶尔出现，在正式写作中一般改用 do ballroom dancing 或 take part in ballroom dancing，所以语域会随语境变化，建议按场合选择。
Pronunciation & Spelling
ballroom 读作 /ˈbɔlˌrum/，重音在前：ball- 是 /bɔl/，-room 是 /rum/。上面的词里，classroom、bathroom、broom、room 都有相同的词尾 -room /rum/；hall、tall 的 /ɔl/ 与 ball- 相同。注意：balloon /bəˈluːn/、ballet /bæˈleɪ/、ballot /ˈbælət/ 虽然也以 ball- 开头，但读音完全不同，别被拼写误导。
