Memory Tip
想象给窗户“glass”一下，玻璃就装好了——glass作动词即“给…装玻璃/用玻璃围住”。
Context & Register
语域：neutral 常见场景：building and construction、home renovation 作为动词时，多用于建筑、装修等场合，表示给窗户等安装玻璃或用玻璃围住某处；语气中性，属于较专门的用法，日常口语中不如名词常见。
Grammar Note
动词glass的及物用法：装玻璃于、反射、反映；不及物用法：成玻璃状。
Pronunciation & Spelling
此词读作 /ɡlæs/。class、pass、mass、grass、brass 都以 /æs/ 结尾，与 glass 押韵；alas 重音在后，也押 /æs/。注意：英式英语常把 glass、class、pass、grass、brass 读成 /ɑːs/，但 mass 仍读 /mæs/，所以英式发音中 mass 不与它们押韵；另外 gross /ɡroʊs/、gloss /ɡlɒs/ 拼写像 glass，但读音不同，不要混淆。
