Learner notes
Memory Tip
mouth(=嘴)+piece(=件) → 含在嘴边的小部件：乐器的吹口、电话听筒的送话口；转指“代言人”。
Context & Register
语域：mixed 常见场景：乐器/设备、运动护齿、新闻/政治 「mouthpiece」的语域因具体含义而异：表示乐器吹口、电话听筒等时偏中性或技术性；表示护齿套时多用于运动场景，口语较常见；而表示“代言人/喉舌”时通常用于正式或新闻语境，有时带贬义，因此整体标记为混合语域。
Grammar Note
常与of或for连用，表示所属或用途
Pronunciation & Spelling
mouthpiece 由 mouth 和 piece 组成。与结尾 -piece 押韵的词包括 earpiece、headpiece、centerpiece、masterpiece、timepiece，它们都拼作 piece，读 /pis/（同 mouthpiece 的第二个音节）。south /saʊθ/ 与 mouth /maʊθ/ 押韵，拼写都有 -outh。注意：piece 的拼写容易与 peace（安宁）混淆，但发音相同；不要按字母猜测 mouth /maʊθ/ 的读音，避免读成 moth /mɔːθ/。
