Learner notes
Memory Tip
记法：专业人士（pro）把事做得合适（fit），自然会受益——profit 就是“获益”。
Context & Register
语域：mixed 常见场景：书面语或正式场合、商务与财经场景、个人经验总结 作动词时多用于正式或书面语，表示“获益、使……受益”或“利用”。日常口语中不如 benefit 常用，比较常见于商务、财经或经验总结等语境中。
Grammar Note
profit作及物动词时直接接宾语，作不及物动词时需加介词from
Pronunciation & Spelling
只有 prophet /ˈprɑfət/ 与 profit 读音完全相同，是真正的同音词。benefit 以 -fit 结尾，habit、limit、visit、digit 以 -it 结尾，但分别读作 /ˈbenəfɪt/、/ˈhæbɪt/、/ˈlɪmɪt/、/ˈvɪzɪt/、/ˈdɪdʒɪt/，不要照 profit 的 /fət/ 类推。
