语域:neutral 常见场景:describing physical appearance、everyday speech and writing 通常用于复合形容词(如 long-legged、bow-legged),单独使用较少;语气中性,多用于描述外形。
legged has two pronunciations: /ˈlɛɡɪd/ (having legs) and /lɛɡd/ (past tense of 'leg'). With the adjective form, jagged, ragged, rugged, and dogged share the -gged spelling and the final /ɡɪd/ sound, though their vowels differ. For the one-syllable /lɛɡd/ form, begged and pegged rhyme exactly. Watch out: ragged and jagged shift to /ræɡd/ and /dʒæɡd/ when they are used as past-tense verbs, so the same spelling can be pronounced differently.
