把 gaul 与中文‘高卢’联系起来，法国古称高卢，所以 gaul 指高卢人（法国后裔）。
语域：mixed 常见场景：historical writing、ancient Roman history discussions、literary or jocular writing about the French Gaul 指‘高卢人’时，多用于历史、考古或古罗马相关叙述，属于较书面的语体；如果用来指现代法国人或法国后裔，通常带有旧式、文学性或玩笑语气，比较常见于书面或刻意轻松的表达。日常口语中一般较少这样使用。
gaul 读作 /ɡɔl/，与 ball、call、fall、hall、tall、haul 押韵（都含 /ɔl/）。注意拼写中的 -aul 在这些词中与 -all 发音相同。小心形近但发音不同的词，如 gauge /ɡeɪdʒ/、gauche /ɡoʊʃ/、gaunt /ɡɔːnt/，它们都不与 gaul 押韵。
