Context & Register
语域：neutral 常见场景：gardening、computing pruning 作名词时通常用于园艺（修剪树枝）或计算机/算法（剪枝）等较专业的语境；日常口语中更常用动词形式，名词形式多见于书面说明。
Pronunciation & Spelling
真正押韵的是 tuning、swooning、spooning：重读音节为 /uːnɪŋ/（或 /uː/ + /nɪŋ/）。拼写提示：tuning 的结尾 -uning 与 pruning 相同；swooning、spooning 以 -ooning 拼写，但读音一致。注意形近音异：ruining 读 /ˈruːɪnɪŋ/，比 pruning 多一个音节；running 和 cunning 中的 u 发 /ʌ/，且双写 n，不要受拼写误导。
