蚊子叮的包让你 itch（痒），忍不住去 catch（抓）——itch 和 catch 都带 tch，抓痒才能止痒。
Context & Register
语域：mixed 常见场景：日常描述皮肤发痒或异物感、就医时向医生说明症状、口语中表达强烈愿望或急切情绪 该词整体偏向日常/口语。表示“皮肤发痒”时在普通叙述和医患对话中都很自然；表示“渴望、心痒”时多用于非正式场合，比较常见于口语，如“I'm itching to go”。正式写作中较少出现，需慎用。
Pronunciation & Spelling
以上单词都含有 -itch 拼写，并与 /ɪtʃ/ 押韵。注意不要一概而论：-tch 也可能读作其他元音，如 etch /etʃ/、patch /pætʃ/、watch /wɒtʃ/；而 rich /rɪtʃ/ 虽然押韵，但拼写是 -ich。
