Context & Register
语域：mixed 常见场景：一般口语/书面描述、语音学与语言学文献、乐谱与演奏指导、击剑训练/比赛、家具安装或使用说明、华尔兹舞蹈教学 作名词时，glide 的语域随义项变化：日常多指平滑滑行或滑翔的动作；语音学中指滑音或半元音，音乐中指连音或滑音，击剑中指沿对手剑身滑动的动作，家具行业则指桌腿底部的护垫。具体含义需依靠上下文判断，因此整体标记为混合语域。
Pronunciation & Spelling
与 glide /ɡlaɪd/ 押韵的词（都以 /aɪd/ 结尾）：side, ride, wide, bride, guide。注意 guide 的拼写是 ui，但发音与 glide 相同。拼写相似的易混词：glade /ɡleɪd/ 与 glide 只是元音不同，发音不一致。
