Learner notes
Memory Tip
记忆：lighter 作动词=用驳船转运；驳船本身也叫 a lighter。想象靠驳船给大船减载，与“打火机”同拼但意思不同。
Context & Register
语域：formal 常见场景：海事/航运作业、船舶减载操作、正式技术文件 此义项属于航海和航运领域的专业用语，通常出现在正式的技术文件、操作规程或新闻报道中；日常口语中较少使用，常用“transfer”或“unload”等更普通的词代替。
Grammar Note
作为动词时，通常用作及物动词，意为'以驳船搬运'，常后接货物等宾语。
Pronunciation & Spelling
发音上，fighter、tighter、brighter 和 writer 都与 lighter 的 /aɪtɚ/ 押韵；注意 lighter 中的 gh 不发音。litter 拼写相近，但读 /ˈlɪtɚ/，元音不同，不要混淆。
