Context & Register
语域：neutral 常见场景：日常对话、一般写作、描述个人行为时 “gusto” 多用于普通口语和书面语，表示带着热情和兴致做某事。常见搭配是“with gusto”，语气自然，不算特别正式，也不属于俚语。在正式和日常场合都较常见，尤其用于描述具体行为或享受过程。
Pronunciation & Spelling
真正与 gusto 的 /ɡʌst/ 音对应的是 must、rust、just、dust（都读 /ʌst/），但它们缺少末尾的 /əʊ/，因此不构成整词押韵。gust 和 disgust 看起来很像 gusto，读音为 /ɡʌst/ 或 /dɪsˈɡʌst/，也没有 /əʊ/ 结尾，注意不要被拼写误导。
