想象一根金属丝(wire)把电器接通电源；它也能把消息或钱‘接通’到远方——核心义是‘连上线’。
语境与语域Context & Register
语域：mixed 常见场景：banking and money transfers、dated telegram communication 通常，wire 作动词表示“电汇”或“发电报”时，多用于金融转账和旧时电报语境；日常口语中也常说 wire money。正式书面语中“电汇”更常用 transfer，所以 wire 的语域随语境在正式与口语之间变化。
发音与拼写Pronunciation & Spelling
These words all rhyme with 'wire' in the final /aɪər/ sound. Most share the spelling pattern '-ire' (fire, hire, tire, desire, admire). 'Choir' has the same rhyme but does not end in '-ire'. Beware lookalikes like 'were' (/wɜːr/), which is spelled similarly but sounds different.
