Memory Tip
联想：a + sort + ment，把各种sort（种类）装进同一堆，就是“什锦、各类杂陈”的assortment。
Context & Register
语域：neutral 常见场景：商业零售、产品分类、日常描述 该词属于中性语体，通常用于描述一组包含多种类型的事物，尤其在商品、礼品或收藏品语境中比较常见。书面和口语中都可以使用，但在表示正式分类行为时不如 classify 等词常用，请根据实际语境选择。
Grammar Note
可数名词，表示一组包含各种类型的事物
Pronunciation & Spelling
与 assortment 完全押韵的是 deportment /dɪˈpɔrtmənt/。sort、sport、important 的重读部分都含 /ɔrt/，但整词并不押韵，其中 important 的结尾 -ortant 容易与 -ortment 混淆。appointment、arrangement 只是同样以 -ment /mənt/ 结尾，重音和元音不同。
