记忆技巧Memory Tip
记忆法：把 cutoff 看成 cut（剪）+ off（断）——剪刀一剪，线断了，断口就是“截止点”，也引申为“中断”。
语境与语域Context & Register
语域：neutral 常见场景：deadlines、eligibility limits、time limits 通常为中性词，多用于描述截止日期、资格门槛或时间限制等语境。
发音与拼写Pronunciation & Spelling
按题中的英式读音，cutoff 读 /ˈkʌtɒf/，结尾 -off 是 /ɒf/。off、scoff、cough 的结尾也是 /ɒf/；layoff、payoff、takeoff 同样以 -off 结尾，末尾读 /ɒf/。它们的重音都在第一个音节，cutoff 的重音也在 cut，所以这只是结尾音相同，通常不算整词押韵。注意 rough /rʌf/、tough /tʌf/、through /θruː/ 等词虽然拼写含 -ough，读音却不同，不要按 -off 类推。
