记忆联想：fantasy（幻想）加上动词后缀 -ize，就变成 fantasize（幻想、想象）。
语域：neutral 常见场景：日常对话、日记或随笔、心理或文学描述 该词在口头和书面表达中都比较常见；既可用于日常闲聊，也可用于较正式或文学性的描述，通常不强调语体高低。
这些带 -ize 的词（realize、recognize、organize、emphasize、apologize）末尾都有相同的 /aɪz/ 音，可用来对照 fantasize 的 -ize 拼写和读音。不过它们的重音位置和重读元音不同，所以与 fantasize 并不严格押韵。注意 fantasy 拼写相近，但读作 /ˈfæntəsi/，末尾是 /si/，与 fantasize 发音不同。
