Context & Register
语域：neutral 常见场景：voice、sound、person 该词为中性常用词，通常用于描述嗓音或声音的粗糙刺耳，也可形容人易怒、烦躁。日常口语和书面语均可见，没有明显的正式或随意限制；但比较常见于描述说话声或嗓音的场合。
Pronunciation & Spelling
“raspy” 读作 /ˈræspi/，以 /spi/ 结尾。列表中 “rasp”“gasp”“grasp” 与其前部 /æsp/ 相同，但没有末尾的 /i/，故不算押韵。“crispy” 和 “wispy” 拼写以 -spy 结尾，也发 /spi/，但元音是 /ɪ/ 而非 /æ/，所以也不押韵。“wasp” 拼写含 -asp，但读 /wɒsp/（美式 /wɑːsp/），元音完全不同，是典型假朋友。
