Learner notes
Memory Tip
stoker里藏着stoke（添煤、拨火），加-er表示“做这件事的人”。想象司炉工用铁钩捅炉膛添煤，记住stoke就记住了stoker。
Context & Register
语域：neutral 常见场景：coal-fired steamships、steam locomotives、old factory boiler rooms 作‘司炉’（烧火工人）解时，通常用于描述过去以煤为燃料的轮船、火车或工厂锅炉房里的工种；现代日常口语中较少提及，多出现在历史叙述或文学作品中。

以上五个词都与 stoker 押韵（重读元音 /əu/ + /kə/）。注意形近词 stocker 读作 /ˈstɒkə/，与 stoker 发音不同。
