语境与语域Context & Register
语域:neutral 常见场景:news reports about protests or riots、descriptions of public disorder mob 作“一大群(尤指闹事或破坏性的)人”讲时属于常用中性词,但常带负面色彩;新闻、日常口语中都可能出现,正式程度不极端。在具体场景中通常要结合上下文判断是否含贬义。
语法说明Grammar Note
常含贬义,指无组织、易暴动的群体。
发音与拼写Pronunciation & Spelling
在英式读音 /mɒb/ 下,job、rob、sob、blob、knob、cob 都与 mob 押韵,它们都含 /ɒb/ 音且拼写都以 ob 结尾。注意形近词 mop /mɒp/ 以 /p/ 结尾,不押韵;美式读音中 mob 常读作 /mɑːb/,也与本组不同。
用法优先级Usage priority
Collins 词频等级为 2,建议结合例句记忆,而不是只背中文释义。
