Context & Register
语域：mixed 常见场景：theater/stage、literary writing、everyday conversation 作名词时，aside 的语域比较混合：多用于戏剧、文学或口头叙述中，指“旁白”或“轻声对身边人说的话”，比较中性；日常口语或演讲中也可表示“题外话”。整体不过分正式，也不属于俚语，具体语气随场景变化。
Grammar Note
指演员面向观众的独白。
Pronunciation & Spelling
这些词与 aside (/əˈsaɪd/) 押韵，均以重读的 /aɪd/ 结尾：side、beside、inside 和 outside（作副词/介词时）、preside、wide。注意：inside 和 outside 作名词或形容词时通常重读第一个音节（/ˈɪn.saɪd/、/ˈaʊt.saɪd/），此时不与 aside 押韵。除 wide 外，其余词均共享拼写结尾 -side。
