Learner notes
Memory Tip
联想howl的发音像中文‘嚎’，想象一只狼对月长嚎，凄凉绵长的叫声就是howl。
Context & Register
语域：neutral 常见场景：动物叫声（狼、狗等）、风声等相似声响、人的哭喊、大笑等感情表达 howl 作名词时通常为中性表达，多用于描述动物（尤其是狼、狗）的长嚎，也可指风声等类似声音或人的哀号。用于人时往往带有较强感情色彩，比较常见于文学或夸张说法。
Pronunciation & Spelling
这些词都以 -owl 结尾，读作 /aʊl/，与 howl /haʊl/ 完全押韵；注意 bowl /boʊl/、hole /hoʊl/ 拼写相似但元音是 /oʊ/，与 howl 不押韵；how /haʊ/ 少了一个 /l/，也不是同韵词。
