语境与语域Context & Register
语域：mixed 常见场景：在抽屉或包里翻找、在旧货市场/慈善商店翻找、海关人员搜查船只 作“胡乱翻找”解时通常偏口语，多用于日常对话或随笔，指在抽屉、包或储物处翻动东西；正式书面语中可说 search thoroughly。航海/海关的“搜查船只”义项则属专门场合的正式用法。
发音与拼写Pronunciation & Spelling
这些词都与 rummage 一样以 -age 结尾，读作 /ɪdʒ/，且重音都在第一个音节；但它们的主要元音与 rummage 的 /ʌ/ 不同（/ɪ, æ, ɪ, æ, æ, æ/），因此并不与 rummage /ˈrʌmɪdʒ/ 押韵。注意 -age 在这些词中读 /ɪdʒ/，不要按拼写读成 /eɪdʒ/。
