Memory Tip
把 remover 拆成 remove(去除)+ -er(人或物),记住:能“去除”污渍的是去渍剂,把家具“移走”的人是搬家工。

语域:neutral 常见场景:产品使用说明、表面清洁、搬家服务 remover 既可指去除某物(尤其表面)的溶剂或清洁剂,也可指搬家公司的搬运工。两种用法都比较中性,通常出现在产品说明或搬家服务等务实场合;口语中表示搬运工时,更常说 removal man 或 mover。
Grammar Note
可数名词,表示去除剂或搬运公司员工。
Pronunciation & Spelling
Mover is the only true rhyme (riˈmuːvə ~ ˈmuːvə). The other words all end in the letters -over but are pronounced with different vowels: over /ˈəʊvə/, cover /ˈkʌvə/, recover /rɪˈkʌvə/, hover /ˈhɒvə/, rover /ˈrəʊvə/ — so they do not rhyme with remover.
