Learner notes
Memory Tip
记住bottom是“底部”，做动词就想一幅画面：球沉到水底停住——跌到底就是“触底”，船碰到底则受阻。
Context & Register
语域：mixed 常见场景：financial/economic reports、sexual contexts 作动词时，bottom 的语域随义项变化：表示“跌至最低点、触底”时较中性，多用于经济、市场或价格走势等语境；表示“性行为中做接受方”时则属非正式/俚语，多用于口语。使用时需根据具体义项选择合适语域。
Grammar Note
该动词既可作及物动词（给...装底，查明真相），也可作不及物动词（到达底部，建立基础）。
Pronunciation & Spelling
No common word rhymes exactly with 'bottom' (/ˈbɑtəm/). The listed words are lookalikes: 'atom', 'custom', and 'autumn' end in the same /təm/ sound as 'bottom', but their stressed vowels differ (respectively /æ/, /ʌ/, and /ɔː/), so they do not rhyme. 'cotton', 'rotten', and 'button' share the spelling -tton, but they end in /tən/ (not /təm/); be careful not to confuse the final m and n.
