语域：mixed 常见场景：文学叙事/情感描写、正式演讲/新闻报道、武器/射击技术说明 recoil 在“因厌恶、恐惧或惊讶而退缩”的义项上通常用于较正式的书面语，多出现在文学叙事、正式演讲和新闻报道中，比较常见于描写人物的下意识反应。指火器或机械“后坐”时则是中性的技术性用法，常见于武器或射击说明。口语中表达“退缩”，也可用 shrink back 或 flinch。
下列单词都以相同的拼写块 oil 结尾，且都读作 /ɔɪl/，与 recoil 的重读部分 /kɔɪl/ 押韵。注意：coin /kɔɪn/、noise /nɔɪz/、choice /tʃɔɪs/ 虽含 /ɔɪ/ 但没有结尾的 /l/，不押韵；choir /ˈkwaɪər/ 拼写中有 oi，读音却完全不同，不能按拼写推断。
