waltz 音近“沃尔茨”：想象圆舞曲中，舞者轻快地旋转滑步。
Context & Register
语域：informal 常见场景：election reporting、political commentary、casual conversation 在“稳操胜券的胜利”这个义项下，waltz 通常是非正式用法，多用于选举报道或人们谈论竞选胜负的场合；正式写作中较少用它表示这个意思，可改用 easy victory 等更中性的说法。
Pronunciation & Spelling
这些词与 waltz 押韵，结尾都是 /ɔlts/（如 faults、vaults、halts、salts、assaults），但拼写不同：waltz 用 -ltz，而这类词多用 -lts。注意 walls /wɔlz/ 和 walks /wɔks/ 虽然形似 waltz，但发音并不相同。
