Learner notes
Memory Tip
把 consort 拆成 con（共同）+ sort（分类），联想“物以类聚”——同‘类’的人结伴交往，也自然‘相符、一致’。
Context & Register
语域：formal 常见场景：正式书面语、文学作品中、正式演讲或评论 该词多用于正式书面语或文学描写，日常口语中很少使用，通常可与“hang out with”或“associate with”等更常见的表达互换。
Grammar Note
作不及物动词时后接with，表示‘与…交往’；作及物动词时较少用，表示‘使结合’。
Pronunciation & Spelling
词尾 -sort 拼写相同且词尾发音与 consort 的 /sɔːt/ 一致的有：sort /sɔːt/、resort /rɪˈzɔːt/（中 s 读 /z/）、assort /əˈsɔːt/。注意 consort 重音在首音节，故严格来说不押韵，但词尾同音。拼写相近但读音不同的是：court /kɔːt/、quart /kwɔːt/、sport /spɔːt/，注意分辨。
