Context & Register
语域：neutral 常见场景：演出/剧场、夜总会/餐馆 cabaret 多用于描述有歌舞表演的夜总会、餐馆，或指这类舞台表演形式，比较常见于正式或文化语境；日常口语中有时会用 show 或 nightclub act 代替。
Pronunciation & Spelling
Foray matches cabaret's final /reɪ/ sound exactly in the last syllable. Ballet and chalet end in /leɪ/, while bouquet and parquet end in /keɪ/; all share cabaret's final /eɪ/ diphthong and -et spelling pattern, but the preceding consonants differ. Carpet is a spelling lookalike: its final syllable is /pɪt/, not /reɪ/, so it sounds completely different.
