语境与语域Context & Register
语域：neutral 常见场景：birdwatching、nature writing、ornithology 作“莺”等小型鸣禽讲时，在观鸟、自然写作和鸟类学语境中通常都是中性词；若指“歌声婉转的歌手”，则比较书面或旧式，日常口语较少用。
发音与拼写Pronunciation & Spelling
These six words are spelling lookalikes: each ends in -bler and /blə/. None rhymes with warbler (/ˈwɒːblə/) because warbler has the long stressed vowel /ɒː/, while the others have different stressed vowels (e.g., /æ/ in gambler, /ɒ/ in cobbler, /ʌ/ in tumbler). Do not rely on the shared spelling for pronunciation.
