Memory Tip
记忆：touch=触碰，down=下方/地面；橄榄球中持球让球“touch down”到端区地面上，就是达阵得分。
Context & Register
语域：neutral 常见场景：美式橄榄球比赛解说、体育新闻与报道、橄榄球规则教学 在美式橄榄球语境中，touchdown 是标准术语，书面和口语皆可使用；日常非体育话题很少出现。因此这里按中性文体处理，多用于比赛报道、解说或规则介绍。
Pronunciation & Spelling
The final syllable of touchdown, /daʊn/, rhymes with the stressed syllable of town, frown, clown, brown, crown, and drown. Be careful with lookalikes spelled -own such as known /noʊn/, shown /ʃoʊn/, grown /ɡroʊn/, and thrown /θroʊn/: their vowel is /oʊn/, not /aʊn/, so they do not rhyme.
