Learner notes
Memory Tip
联想：甘蔗(cane)是一根长藤条，既可拿它抽打人，也能用它编椅面。
Context & Register
语域：formal 常见场景：school discipline (historical)、furniture making with rattan 作动词时两个义项均偏向正式或书面：表示“杖打”多用于纪律惩戒、历史叙述等场合；表示“用藤条制作/装饰”多见于家具工艺说明。日常口语中较少单独用 cane 表达这类动作。

Pronunciation & Spelling
Rhymes with cane: mane, lane, sane, wane, and pain all end with /eɪn/. Note the spelling: cane, mane, lane, sane, and wane use -ane, while pain uses -ain. Beware the lookalike can (/kæn/): it looks like cane without the final e, but its vowel is short a, not the long /eɪ/ of cane.
