Learner notes
Memory Tip
联想“酷儿理论”重读作品，但作动词常是“破坏、阻挠、使陷入困境”：把计划弄“酷”反被搞砸。
Context & Register
语域：mixed 常见场景：学术批评与文学评论、日常口语（破坏或阻挠计划）、历史或文学文本（使陷入困境） 作动词时语体随义项变化：学术义项多用于酷儿理论或文艺评论等正式场合；日常口语中较常见于“破坏、阻挠”的含义，如 queer someone’s pitch；而“使陷入困境”的用法比较陈旧。因此整体标为 mixed。
Grammar Note
及物动词，后接名词或代词作宾语。
Pronunciation & Spelling
这些词在美式英语中都与 queer /kwɪr/ 押韵，重读音节均为 /ɪr/（或 /jɪr/）：beer、cheer、fear、hear、near、year（拼写为 -eer 或 -ear，发音相同）。注意：queen /kwiːn/、queue /kjuː/、quiet /ˈkwaɪət/、quite /kwaɪt/ 拼写相似但发音不同，不要当作押韵词。
