Context & Register
语域：neutral 常见场景：新闻报道、法律或政治讨论 该词作名词时多指长时间的激烈争吵或纠纷，常出现在新闻报道、法律或政治事务等较正式场合；日常口语中更常说 argument、quarrel 或 row。
Pronunciation & Spelling
All these words rhyme with wrangle: they share the stressed vowel /æ/ and the ending /ŋɡəl/ (or /ŋɡl/), as in angle, tangle, dangle, jangle, wangle, and strangle. Beware lookalikes: angel /ˈeɪndʒəl/ looks like angle but has a different vowel and the /dʒ/ sound, and wrangle itself has a silent w, so it begins with /r/, not /w/.
