Context & Register
语域：mixed 常见场景：describing a winding river or road、describing someone walking in a relaxed, indirect route “meander”通常用于书面或较正式语境，多用于河流、道路蜿蜒或人漫无目的地行走；中性文体中也可使用，日常口语中算不上最常用表达。
Pronunciation & Spelling
与 meander /miˈændɚ/ 押韵：slander、commander、pander、gander、expander 都以重读的 /ændɚ/ 结尾。注意形近词 wander /ˈwɑndɚ/：拼写同为 -ander，但元音是 /ɑ/ 而非 /æ/，不押韵。
