Learner notes
Memory Tip
behind 本义是“在后面”，人体的“后面”就是屁股，联想“身后的那块肉”即可记住名词义。
Context & Register
语域：mixed 常见场景：日常口语（指臀部）、体育解说/规则（澳式足球一分）、正式或书面描写（指后部） behind 作名词时，语域随词义而异：表示“臀部”通常用于非正式口语；表示“后部/尾部”多用于正式或书面描写；表示“一分”是澳式足球等体育用语。学习时建议结合具体语境判断。
Pronunciation & Spelling
All six words rhyme with behind, sharing the stressed vowel /aɪ/ and final /nd/. Beware of the lookalike 'hinder' (to obstruct), which is spelled similarly but pronounced /ˈhɪndər/ with a short /ɪ/, so it does not rhyme.
