Memory Tip
记忆：slur 一义是‘含糊地说话’，一义是‘侮辱’——含含糊糊地骂人。
Context & Register
语域：mixed 常见场景：conversation、music instruction、formal writing slur 作动词时含义较多：常见于日常口语指“含糊地说”，在音乐语境中指“连奏”，正式写作中可表示“诋毁”或“掩盖”。具体含义取决于搭配和场景，较难一概而论，通常需根据上下文判断。
Pronunciation & Spelling
blur, stir, sir, and fur rhyme with slur (vowel /ɜː(r)/). In spelling, blur shares 'lur' and fur shares 'ur' with slur; stir and sir are rhyme-only, with no shared spelling chunk. Sure and sour look similar but have different vowels: /ʃʊr/ and /ˈsaʊər/, so they do not rhyme.
