语域：formal 常见场景：formal writing、business evaluations、letters of recommendation 「enterprising」是偏正式的褒义词，通常用于正式的书面语或评价语境，如描述某人善于把握机会、敢于尝试，或在事业上精于谋划。日常口语中较少直接使用，可以考虑用 ambitious、resourceful 等更常用的词。
surprising、comprising、arising、rising 都以重读的 /aɪzɪŋ/ 结尾，彼此押韵。注意 enterprising 虽有相同结尾拼写，但其中的 /aɪ/ 不重读，因此与这些词不构成严格押韵。advertising 以 /taɪzɪŋ/ 结尾，也不与上述词押韵。praising 拼写像 -prising，但读作 /preɪzɪŋ/，元音不同，是形近词而非押韵词。
