语境与语域Context & Register
语域：neutral 常见场景：business planning、public policy、personal life decisions 作名词时通常表示为未来谨慎规划的先见之明，多用于正式或中性场合，如商业、政策和个人规划；在灵异或科幻语境中也可指超自然的预知，但比较少见。
语法说明Grammar Note
通常不可数，但表示具体预见实例时可数。
发音与拼写Pronunciation & Spelling
foresight 的结尾发音为 /saɪt/。sight、site、cite 都读作 /saɪt/，而 kite、night、white 的重读元音和其后辅音同为 /aɪt/，因此都押韵。注意拼写相似的 sigh (/saɪ/) 不含尾音 /t/，foreign (/ˈfɔrən/) 虽以 fore- 开头，也不与 -sight 押韵。
