语域：neutral 常见场景：汽车维修与养护、房屋装修与维护、物品外观描述 paintwork 通常指物体表面已刷好的油漆层，多用于汽车、房屋等场景；在日常口语和书面语中都比较常见，没有明显的正式或非正式之分。
In General American, paintwork is /ˈpeɪntwɜːrk/, and all these words end with the same sound /ˌwɜːrk/ in the spelling chunk -work (artwork, woodwork, groundwork, clockwork, firework, network). They are genuine sound matches at the ending. Look out for lookalikes with different sounds: paintwork starts like paint /peɪnt/, not pint /paɪnt/, and painting /ˈpeɪntɪŋ/ shares only the first syllable, not the ending.
