联想开枪声“gun”一声：动词 gun 既指扣扳机射击，又像子弹出膛般猛踩油门加速，或瞄准目标伺机攻击。
语域：mixed 常见场景：枪击事件报道、口语对话、狩猎活动 gun 作动词时，各义项的语域并不统一：表示“用枪射击”（尤其是 gun down）多用于新闻报道，语气偏正式；表示“加速”（如 gun the engine）和“伺机攻击”（gun for）多用于口语或非正式场合；“go gunning”带狩猎语境。整体按“混合”处理较稳妥。
以下单词都与 gun /ɡʌn/ 押韵（元音和结尾辅音为 /ʌn/）：bun, fun, run, stun, sun, ton。注意 ton 拼写是 -on，但发音相同。另外，gun 的拼写开头 gu 在 gum /ɡʌm/ 和 gut /ɡʌt/ 中相同，但这些词结尾不同，不押韵。
