Learner notes
Memory Tip
想象狮子张大嘴吼出“roar”,开头r像喉咙震动,音节拖长,低沉响亮,记作“吼声长又沉”。
Context & Register
语域:neutral 常见场景:动物描写、人群或场面描写、机器或自然环境的响声 roar 作名词时指响亮深沉的响声,通常用于描述狮子、人群、机器或自然界的轰鸣;日常口语和书面语中都比较常见,属于中性词。
Grammar Note
复数形式为roars
Pronunciation & Spelling
这些词与 roar 在含 r 的口音中押韵:soar、boar、oar、more、score、snore 都以 /ɔr/ 结尾。注意:roar 拼作 oa+r,但这里的 oa 读 /ɔ/,不是 /oʊ/,所以 road /roʊd/ 和 boat /boʊt/ 并不押韵;另外 car /kɑr/、bar /bɑr/ 虽有 -ar 拼写,但读音不同。
