记忆技巧Memory Tip
记忆：damper 里有 damp（潮湿/抑制），潮湿的天气让人扫兴，阻尼器则“抑制”振动，所以它既指“风门/阻尼器”，也指“令人扫兴的人”。

语域：mixed 常见场景：mechanical/electronic/acoustic engineering、stove or fireplace use、everyday figurative speech (e.g. put a damper on) damper 在不同语境中的语域差别较大：技术语境（机械、电子、声学等）中通常为中性/正式用语，指阻尼器、减振器；家居场景中多指炉灶或壁炉的调节风门；而比喻用法 put a damper on…（给……泼冷水）比较常见于日常口语。因此整体标为 mixed，具体需看搭配和场景。
