Memory Tip
联想 phrase（短语/乐句）：phrasing 就是把句子组织成措辞、把旋律划分为乐句的方式。
Context & Register
语域：neutral 常见场景：writing and editing、music performance and analysis 该词为中性用法，不特别正式或口语化。多用于书面写作、编辑讨论中表示“措辞、表达方式”，也常用于音乐教学或演奏分析中表示“乐句处理/划分”。日常口语中不算高频，常见于需要说明语言表达或音乐表现的场合。
Grammar Note
常作可数名词，有复数形式；指音乐中的分句或言语的措辞方式。
Pronunciation & Spelling
与 phrasing /ˈfreɪzɪŋ/ 押韵的词：phasing、raising、praising、grazing、amazing，它们的重读元音和结尾都是 /eɪzɪŋ/。注意 basing 拼写同属 -asing，但读作 /ˈbeɪsɪŋ/（/s/），不押韵；phrasing 中的 /r/ 也要读出，别漏掉。
