语境与语域Context & Register
语域:neutral 常见场景:mining exploration、geological surveys 作动词时,多用于矿业、地质勘探等专业场合,指寻找或探查矿藏;在日常随意口语中较少使用。
语法说明Grammar Note
作动词时,常与 for 连用表示“勘探”;也可单独使用表示“有前途”。
发音与拼写Pronunciation & Spelling
这些词中,inspect、respect、expect、suspect(动词)都以重读的 /spɛkt/ 结尾,彼此押韵;但 prospect 的重音在第一个音节(/ˈprɑspɛkt/),所以它们跟 prospect 并不押韵,只能算是拼写上的形近词。aspect 和 retrospect 与 prospect 一样重音在前,但元音不同(/æ/、/ɛ/ 对 /ɑ/),也不是真正的押韵。注意不要只看 -spect 拼写就以为发音相同。
