Context & Register
语域：mixed 常见场景：财经新闻、日常口语、药物或情绪健康话题 作名词时，‘高处／高水平’（如 an all-time high）通常用于正式或中性语境；‘兴奋／快感’和‘吸毒后的亢奋’多用于非正式口语，尤其是在日常对话中。具体含义需结合上下文判断。
Pronunciation & Spelling
以下词都与 high /haɪ/ 押韵：sigh /saɪ/、thigh /θaɪ/、lie /laɪ/、try /traɪ/、eye /aɪ/、fly /flaɪ/。其中 high、sigh、thigh 拼写都以 -igh 结尾，发音一致；lie、try、eye、fly 拼写不同，但读音都含 /aɪ/。注意 height /haɪt/ 拼写相近但多一个 /t/，不算纯韵；sign /saɪn/ 发音多出 /n/，也不是 high 的完整韵脚。
