Context & Register
语域：formal 常见场景：prison administration、riot control、official announcements 此义项为正式/机构用语，多用于监狱管理、官方通报或新闻报道等正式场合；口语中较少出现。
Grammar Note
此义项特指监狱将囚犯关入牢房以防骚乱，并非疫情封控。
Pronunciation & Spelling
目标词 lockdown 的音标是 /ˈlɔkdajn/，末尾音节与 dine、line、shine 等 /aɪn/ 发音相同。注意不要被拼写误导：town、clown、shutdown 虽然含 -own 或 down，但都读 /aʊn/，并不押韵。
