Context & Register
语域：neutral 常见场景：conversation、meeting、writing 这个词为中性偏正式，通常用于较正式的对话、会议或书面表达中，表示“插嘴、插入”。日常口语中更常说 interrupt 或 cut in。使用时注意搭配，如 interject a comment（插一句话）。
Pronunciation & Spelling
以上带 -ject 的词都以 /dʒɛkt/ 结尾，与 interject 押韵。注意 project、object、subject 作名词时重音在第一个音节，发音不同，不押韵；还要小心形近词 detect /dɪˈtɛkt/，它拼写相近但结尾读音不同。
