Context & Register
语域：neutral 常见场景：sports reporting、business and academic contexts、formal descriptions of groups 在表示“最优秀的、精选的”这一义项时，elite 通常用于中性偏正式的语境，比较常见于体育、商业、教育等领域的描述中；语气随搭配对象变化，一般不带明显的口语色彩。
Pronunciation & Spelling
音同：fit, bit, lit 与 elite 的结尾 /ɪt/ 相同；注意：site, white, polite 以 -ite 结尾但读 /aɪt/，与 elite 不押韵。
