记忆技巧Memory Tip
看到 frost 开头的 fro，联想 frozen（冻结）——霜是冻出来的；动词指‘结霜/盖霜’，蛋糕上的糖霜也叫 frosting。

语域：mixed 常见场景：天气预报、蛋糕装饰、美发沙龙、马蹄护理 动词 frost 的语域随场合变化：描述自然结霜时较中性，给蛋糕裹糖霜常见于日常烹饪，挑染头发和给马蹄加尖多用于相应行业语境，因此整体归为混合语域。
发音与拼写Pronunciation & Spelling
lost、cost、tossed、crossed 与 frost 真正押韵，都以 /ɔst/ 结尾。注意形近但音异：post、most 以 -ost 结尾，却读作 /oʊst/，而不是 /ɔst/。
