Learner notes
Memory Tip
联想织布机：warp 是纵向绷直的经线（w 像竖线）；若被外力拉歪、扭曲变形，就是 warp。与横向的 weft（纬线）对照记。
Context & Register
语域：mixed 常见场景：everyday descriptions of distorted or bent shapes、weaving and textile production、formal or literary writing、science-fiction dialogue and casual conversation warp 作名词时因义项不同而语域有别：指物体变形时比较中性；纺织中指“经纱”，属技术用法；指精神或道德扭曲时偏正式；科幻或口语中说 time warp 则较随意。
Pronunciation & Spelling
与 warp 开头 /wɔr/ 发音相同的常见词有 ward /wɔrd/、warm /wɔrm/、warn /wɔrn/、wart /wɔrt/（拼写都是 war-）和 wharf /wɔrf/（wh 在这里读 /w/）；它们都以不同的辅音结尾，因此不与 warp 押韵。注意 wrap /ræp/ 拼写和 warp 相近，但读 /ræp/，与 warp 完全不同音。没有常见词与 warp 完全押韵（/wɔrp/）。
