farmer 的音标为 /ˈfɑːrmər/（美式）或 /ˈfɑːmə(r)/（英式），意为“农民；农场主”，指以从事农业生产或经营农场为职业的人。以下从读音规则、用法、例句和短语搭配展开说明：

读音规则

字母组合 ar 在英式发音中常读 /ɑː/，美式中有时会卷舌为 /ɑːr/；

词尾 -er 发 /ər/（弱读音），注意区分于“farm”（/fɑːrm/）的单音节发音。

用法说明

基本含义：指拥有或经营农场的人，或从事农业劳动的人。可用于描述职业、身份或社会角色。

性别中性：传统上可能与“farmer”对应女性的“farmeress”已极少使用，现代英语中“farmer”通指男女。

搭配介词：常用 on a farm（在农场）、work as a farmer（当农民）、family farmer（家庭农场主）等表达。
