Learner notes
Memory Tip
游戏里 mob 是怪群，现实里 mob 是暴民：都是一大群混乱的人/生物。记住 mob = 一团乱。
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。
Grammar Note
常含贬义，指无组织、易暴动的群体。
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。
Usage priority
