marlin读作“马林”，画面：马林鱼嘴上长矛般的长喙，像一杆枪，所以叫“枪鱼”。记住“马林持枪”。
语域：neutral 常见场景：marine biology、sport fishing marlin 是普通名词，指枪鱼，属于中性表达，通常用于海洋生物或海钓相关话题，在口语和书面语中都自然。
没有常用词与 marlin 完全押韵。'goblin' /ˈɡɒblɪn/ 和 'gremlin' /ˈɡrɛmlɪn/ 与 marlin 一样以非重读的 /lɪn/ 结尾，但重读元音不同（/ɒ/、/ɛ/ 对 /ɑː/），且 /lɪn/ 前还有别的辅音，所以只算尾部相近。'violin' /ˌvaɪəˈlɪn/ 也是 -lin，但它重读在最后一个音节。'starling' 和 'darling' 是拼写上的假朋友：词尾是 /lɪŋ/ 而不是 /lɪn/。注意在非卷舌口音中，marlin 的 r 不发音。
