语域:neutral 常见场景:床上用品、羽绒/填充材料 该词两个名词义项(鸭绒、鸭绒被)整体较中性,通常用于被褥、家居用品或纺织材料等场景;没有明显正式或俚俗色彩,因此保守地选为 neutral。
这些以 -down 结尾的词(down、countdown、shutdown、breakdown、touchdown)都与 eiderdown 结尾的 /daʊn/ 音相同,但 eiderdown 重音在第一个音节,因此它们不是严格意义的押韵。注意:eiderdown 中的 'ei' 读 /aɪ/(像 eye),不是 /eɪ/;eider 读作 /ˈaɪdə/。不要把它误写作 'elderdown'。
