Learner notes
Memory Tip
联想记忆：fever（发烧）后面跟着 ish，就像发烧时浑身发热、焦躁不安、极度兴奋的样子。
Context & Register
语域：formal 常见场景：书面语、新闻报道、文学作品 此义表示极度兴奋或焦躁不安，通常见于书面语、新闻或文学语境；日常口语中较少直接使用，多换用 excited 或 restless。
Pronunciation & Spelling
这些词都以 -ish 结尾，末音节都读 /ɪʃ/，这一点和 feverish 相同；但它们各自的重读元音不同，所以严格来说都不是 feverish 的韵脚。注意 -ish 中的 i 读 /ɪ/，不是 /iː/；feverish 的重音在第一个音节。
