Context & Register
语域：neutral 常见场景：地理教材、旅游指南、自然纪录片 该词是地理学的标准常用词，通常用于书面或较正式的叙述，如地理课本、旅游指南或自然纪录片；日常提到挪威等地貌时也比较自然地使用 fjord。
Pronunciation & Spelling
这些词都以 /ɔrd/ 结尾（fjord /fjɔrd/ 的重读元音及之后的音与它们相同），可与 fjord 押韵：lord、cord、ford、sword、afford、horde。注意 fjord 中的 j 读 /j/（类似汉语拼音 y），不是 /dʒ/，所以它不像 Jordan /ˈdʒɔrdən/。还要小心形近词 word /wɜrd/ 和 world /wɜrld/，它们的元音不同，不与 fjord 押韵。
