Learner notes
Memory Tip
看见一个'spot'(小斑点),你一眼'spot'(发现)了它:spot 既是斑点,也是'看出、注意到'。
Context & Register
语域:neutral 常见场景:everyday conversation、news reports 动词 spot 表示“看见、发现”时语气中性,口语和书面语都常用;表示“弄脏”或“使有斑点”时也比较自然。使用时多根据宾语来判断具体含义,通常不需要特意区分正式或非正式。
Grammar Note
常用于及物动词,表示‘认出’;也可作不及物动词表示‘易弄脏’。过去式/过去分词为spotted,现在分词spotting。
Pronunciation & Spelling
这些词都含有拼写块 ot,在美式发音中押韵 /ɑt/,与 spot /spɑt/ 同韵:hot, not, lot, got, pot, knot。注意:sport /spɔrt/ 和 spout /spaʊt/ 虽以 sp 开头,看起来像 spot,但发音不同;stop /stɑp/ 以 /p/ 结尾,也不押韵。
