语境与语域Context & Register
语域：neutral 常见场景：laundry room、outdoor clothesline、hardware store clothespin 是日常生活中的常用名词，语气中性，多用于谈论晾衣服或购买晾衣夹等场景；正式书面语中较少出现，但也不算俚语。
发音与拼写Pronunciation & Spelling
The final syllable of clothespin sounds like /pɪn/, so pin /pɪn/ and spin /spɪn/ match its sound and spelling; thin /θɪn/ and chin /tʃɪn/ also end in /ɪn/. These words do not rhyme with the whole word, because clothespin is stressed on the first syllable (CLOTHES-pin), not on the final -pin. Be careful with clothe /kləʊð/ and clothes /kləʊðz/: they match the start of clothespin but end with /ð/ or /ðz/, not /pɪn/.
