Learner notes
Memory Tip
把 clog 拆成 c(塞子)+ log(圆木),一根圆木卡住管道,就是“堵塞”。
Context & Register
语域:mixed 常见场景:管道与排水、道路与交通、日常口语 表示“堵塞、阻塞”时,语气会随搭配和场景变化:单独用 clog 通常为中性,书面语和口语都可用;与 up 搭配的 clog up 更偏口语,多用于管道、排水等具体场景。
Grammar Note
既可及物也可不及物;常与with或up搭配。
Pronunciation & Spelling
这些词都以 -og 结尾,并与 clog 押韵:bog /bɒɡ/、dog /dɒɡ/、fog /fɒɡ/、hog /hɒɡ/、jog /dʒɒɡ/、log /lɒɡ/(美式英语中元音为 /ɑː/,如 /bɑːɡ/)。注意:clog 中的 g 读 /ɡ/,不要与拼写相似的 cough /kɒf/、rough /rʌf/、though /ðəʊ/ 混淆;clogged /klɒɡd/ 是过去式/过去分词,比 clog 多一个 /d/。
