Context & Register
语域：formal 常见场景：medical reports、clinical documentation 「feces」是正式且偏医学术语，多用于医疗报告、临床记录或学术写作；日常口语中较少用，更常说 poop 或 stool。
Pronunciation & Spelling
feces 的重音在第一音节，读作 /ˈfiˌsiz/；其最后一个音节的读音与 seas、sees 的 /siːz/ 相近，但并非完整押韵，因为重音位置不同。注意 faces、places、spices、services 虽然都以 -ces 结尾，但一律读作 /sɪz/（或 /ɪz/），不是 /siːz/，不要被拼写误导。
