记 jostle:t 不发音(像 castle),想象人群拥挤,把这个 t 都挤掉了,剩下就是推挤。
语域:neutral 常见场景:拥挤的街道或公共场所、通勤高峰时的公共交通、人群中的移动或碰撞 jostle 通常用于描述身体在人群中受挤碰或用力挤开人群的动作,属于中性偏日常的用词;在新闻报道和口语中都比较常见,但语气比 push 稍正式。
真正与 jostle(/ˈdʒɒsl/)押韵的词是 apostle(/əˈpɒs.əl/),两者重读元音和结尾辅音一致。bustle、hustle、muscle、castle、whistle 都含有不发音的 t 或以 /səl/ 结尾,但元音不同:bustle/hustle/muscle 为 /ʌsəl/,castle 为 /kɑːsəl/(美式 /kæsəl/),whistle 为 /wɪsəl/。请勿按拼写推测读音。
