[English]wind-winded vs wind-wound

查遍線上各大字典(或許還有遺漏), 始終沒有滿意的講法, 回去查N年前的文馨辭典, 解說很清楚, Longman感覺比Oxford要清楚,但不知為何沒標音標

基本上
和"風"有關的(動詞名詞都有), 就是wind /wɪnd/ winded winded
(http://www.ldoceonline.com/dictionary/wind_3)
(http://oald8.oxfordlearnersdictionaries.com/dictionary/wind_2)

和"彎曲纏繞"有關的(動詞名詞都有), 就是wind /waɪnd/ wound /waʊnd/ wound /waʊnd/ 

(http://www.ldoceonline.com/dictionary/wind_2)

(http://oald8.oxfordlearnersdictionaries.com/dictionary/wind_3)

如果是吹(樂器), 吹(信號), 吹出(聲音)則以上兩種發音及時態都可以用

還有在詩裡, 風的名詞也會念成/waɪnd/

wound的發音和受傷的發音不一樣
