Memory Tip
把gable拆成‘g a ble’:中间字母a像尖屋顶的三角形,山形墙正是屋顶两侧斜面夹出的三角墙面,看到尖顶就想到gable。
Context & Register
语域:neutral 常见场景:architecture、real estate、construction gable 是中性词,指屋顶两侧的三角形山形墙,多用于建筑、房产或建筑施工的语境中。正式和非正式场合都可以使用,但描述房屋外观或建筑特征时比较常见。
Pronunciation & Spelling
这些词都与 gable 押韵:重读元音 /eɪ/ 后跟 /bəl/。其中 able、cable、fable、stable、table 还共享拼写结尾 -able;label 发音相同但拼写不同。注意 gabble (/ˈɡæbəl/) 拼写相似,但元音是 /æ/,并不押韵。
