Memory Tip
laud 像 loud（大声）把 o 换成 a：大声说出赞美之词，就是 laud。
Context & Register
语域：formal 常见场景：正式演讲、新闻评论、颁奖典礼、讣告 laud 是正式用词，通常用于书面语或正式场合，如演讲、新闻报道、颁奖礼等；日常口语中更常说 praise。
Pronunciation & Spelling
注意：laud 的 IPA 为 /lɒ:d/（长元音）。这些词中，applaud、fraud、broad、clawed、lord 通常读 /ɔːd/（或 /ɔːrd/），与 /lɒ:d/ 并不完全押韵；pod 的 /ɒ/ 是短音。拼写以 -aud 结尾的词（applaud、fraud）与 laud 形似，但读音需以 IPA 为准。
