Context & Register
语域：neutral 常见场景：backyard、beach、camping hammock 多为中性词，通常指悬挂在两棵树之间的帆布或绳网吊床，常见于庭院、海滩、露营等户外休闲场合。口语和书面语中都比较自然，没有明显的正式或随意之分。
Pronunciation & Spelling
这些词都以 -ock 结尾。在 hammock、hummock、haddock、paddock、bullock 中，非重读的 -ock 读作 /ək/（hummock 与 hammock 的末尾音节完全相同 /mək/），但它们与 hammock 并不严格押韵，因为重读元音或中间的辅音不同。注意 mock 是单音节词，读 /mɒk/（美式 /mɑːk/），并不是 /ək/，拼写相似但发音不同。
