Context & Register
语域：formal 常见场景：written narrative、descriptive prose 作名词表示“喘气、喘息”时，通常多用于书面叙述或文学描写中，比较常见于正式或半正式文体；日常口语中较少单独使用，更常用动词 pant 或短语 be out of breath 来表达。
Pronunciation & Spelling
发音提示：在美式英语中，ant /ænt/、can't /kænt/、plant /plænt/、chant /tʃænt/、grant /ɡrænt/、slant /slænt/ 都与 pant /pænt/ 押韵（结尾均为 /ænt/）。注意拼写相近但读音不同的假朋友：paint /peɪnt/（油漆、绘画）和 pane /peɪn/（窗玻璃）都不读 /pænt/；另外 pants /pænts/ 是 pant 的复数，不要混淆。
