Learner notes
Memory Tip
读音像“戳哦”，想象渔民把大网“戳”进海里拖着捕鱼，记住trawl就是拖网。
Context & Register
语域：neutral 常见场景：commercial fishing、fishery industry trawl 通常用于商业捕鱼、渔业生产等专业或行业语境，属于中性术语；日常口语中较少单独使用，多出现在书面描述或行业交流中。
Pronunciation & Spelling
以上六个词都与 trawl 押韵，读音均以 /ɔːl/ 结尾。其中 crawl、brawl、shawl 与 trawl 拼写相近，都含相同的 'awl' 词尾；haul、call、tall 也同音但拼写不同。注意：trawl 的拼写容易让人误以为与 trial（/ˈtraɪəl/）或 owl（/aʊl/）同韵，实际上并不押韵；draw（/drɔː/）拼写相似，但缺少末尾的 /l/ 音。
