记忆联想:lam 像 lamb(羊)少了 b,羊遇险会拼命逃跑;谐音“擂”,擂人即狠揍。
语域:informal 常见场景:informal speech、crime/escape narratives、descriptions of physical fighting lam 的两个义项都比较口语化:作“逃跑”解时通常出现在非正式叙述或犯罪、逃亡题材中;作“痛打”解时多用于口语化地描写打斗场面。注意根据上下文判断意思,该词不算高频。
以上单词都与 lam 的 /læm/ 押韵;lamb 拼写里有不发音的 b,但读音完全相同。注意形近词 lame /leɪm/ 与 lam 发音不同:lame 的元音是长 /eɪ/。
