Learner notes
Memory Tip
联想：drape 读音像“坠铺”，一块布垂坠铺开，就是覆盖、披挂或耷拉的样子。
Context & Register
语域：neutral 常见场景：home decor and furnishing、clothing and fashion、descriptive writing 在表示“覆盖、披挂、垂下”时，drape 属于中性偏书面用语，通常用于描述布料、衣物或装饰物的状态；口语和书面语都可用，但搭配 fabric、cloth、scarf、dress 等词时最自然。
Grammar Note
drape作及物动词时意为'覆盖'，作不及物动词时意为'成褶皱状'。
Pronunciation & Spelling
以上单词均与 drape 押韵，发音含 /eɪp/。注意：drape 不要误读成 drip /drɪp/ 或 drop /drɒp/，它们的元音不同。
