Context & Register
语域：mixed 常见场景：fashion show、stage/theater、building or bridge maintenance、ship deck catwalk 的语域会随具体义项而变化：时装走秀中多指“T台”，建筑、桥梁、船舶等场景多指“高架通道/步桥”。整体为中性常用词，正式与非正式场合都比较常见，具体含义通常靠上下文判断。
Pronunciation & Spelling
所有以 -alk 结尾的词（walk、talk、chalk、stalk、sidewalk）中 l 都不发音，词尾读 /ɑk/，与 catwalk 的后半部分 -walk 押韵。注意 wall 是形近词，拼写上只比 walk 少一个 k，但 l 要发音，读 /wɑl/，与 walk 的 /wɑk/ 不押韵。
