Learner notes
Memory Tip
联想“whoop”读音像“呜噗”，想象欢呼时脱口而出的大叫，记住w开头的兴奋呐喊。
Context & Register
语域：neutral 常见场景：新闻报道、文学叙述 作名词表示“欢呼、呐喊”时，通常用于书面或较正式的叙述，常见于“a whoop of joy/delight”等搭配；日常口语中较少单独使用。
Pronunciation & Spelling
以上六个词都以 /uːp/ 结尾，与 whoop /wuːp/ 押韵：hoop /huːp/, loop /luːp/, troop /truːp/, swoop /swuːp/, droop /druːp/, coop /kuːp/。注意 whoop 中的 wh 读 /w/ 而不读 /h/，所以拼写相近的 hoop 读音首辅音不同（/h/），但二者仍押韵。
