语境与语域Context & Register
语域：formal 常见场景：法律与合同文书、正式处罚或罚则公告、游戏规则说明 forfeit 作名词时通常用于正式或法律语境，指罚金、被没收的财物或丧失的权利；规则类文本里也可指游戏中交出的罚物，但如今不多见。日常口语中更常用 penalty 或 fine。
语法说明Grammar Note
可数名词，常用单数形式，常与介词of连用表示‘...的罚金’或‘...的丧失’
发音与拼写Pronunciation & Spelling
与 forfeit (/ˈfɔːfɪt/) 完全押韵的常用词很少，因为其重音在第一音节，末尾的 /fɪt/ 为非重读。surfeit、counterfeit、profit 均有末尾 /fɪt/ 音，但重读元音不同，故不算押韵。feint 和 conceit 中的 'ei' 分别读 /eɪ/ 和 /iː/，与 forfeit 中的 /ɪ/ 不同，注意区分。for 的 /fɔːr/ 只与 forfeit 开头的 /fɔː/ 相近，也不构成韵脚。
