prize 作动词：把奖品当宝贝→珍视；它也有“撬开”义，与 pry 同义，用杠杆撬开。
语域：mixed 常见场景：formal writing or descriptions of highly valued things、British English: physically forcing something open or off prize 作动词有两种常见用法：表示“珍视、重视”时多用于正式或书面语境，如 a prized possession；表示“用杠杆撬开”时主要是英式英语，语气较中性，美式英语更常说 pry 或 prise。实际使用时需根据语境选择。
这些词都与 prize /praɪz/ 押韵，都以 /aɪz/ 音结尾。其中 size 与 prize 一样拼作 -ize；wise、rise、eyes、lies、guys 则拼写不同但读音相同。注意 price /praɪs/ 和 pry /praɪ/ 拼写相近，但分别以 /s/ 和 /aɪ/ 结尾，读音不同。
