Context & Register
语域：informal 常见场景：朋友间闲聊、提建议或劝告、谈论消费或热情 overboard 字面意思为“越过船舷落水”，但在 go overboard 中多用于口语，表示“过度、过分”。正式书面语中通常改用 be excessive 或 go to extremes。
Pronunciation & Spelling
aboard, board, keyboard, skateboard, and dashboard all end in the /bɔrd/ sound. Cupboard has the same -board spelling but is pronounced /ˈkʌbɚd/, with a reduced syllable, so it does not rhyme.
