Learner notes
Memory Tip
记 gang 读音近“钢(gāng)”：把多根钢管并排连成一组——动词意为“将相似物品组合成更大单元”。
Context & Register
语域：mixed 常见场景：technical writing for electrical or mechanical components、informal or vulgar sexual slang 该动词有两个差异很大的义项：一是技术语境中表示“将相似部件组合或联动”，如 ganged switch，多用于工程和设备说明；二是俚语中与 gangbang 同义，指群交或轮奸，属于粗俗的非正式用法。实际使用时需根据语境判断，日常表达中应避免第二种用法。
Grammar Note
既可作及物动词（使成群结队）也可作不及物动词（成群结队）
Pronunciation & Spelling
这些词都以 /æŋ/ 结尾，与 gang 押韵。注意：拼写中含 ang 的 angle /ˈæŋɡəl/ 和 anger /ˈæŋɡər/ 多出一个 /ɡ/ 音，并不与 gang 押韵。
