语域：mixed 常见场景：医学或健康话题、日常口语比喻、新闻报道中的系统或交通瘫痪 该词在医学语境中多用于正式书面或专业交流；日常口语和新闻中则常见比喻用法，表示使无法移动或使系统停摆。具体正式程度随语境变化，通常不算粗俗或过于生硬。
这些词都以 /laɪz/ 结尾，与 paralyze 的词尾发音相同。但注意，它们的主要重音都在第一个音节，且该音节元音各不相同，因此并不与 paralyze 构成真正的押韵（如 /pær/ 与 /æn/、/kæt/、/riː/ 等）。拼写要注意：analyze 和 catalyze 用 -yze，其余多为 -ize，但发音一致。另外，与 paralyze 拼写相近的 paralysis（/pəˈræləsɪs/）和 paralytic（/ˌpærəˈlɪtɪk/）发音完全不同，不要混淆。
