Memory Tip
把salute开头的s想象成敬礼时抬起的手臂，士兵喊口令salute便举手致意，记住‘s抬手，敬礼’。
Context & Register
语域：mixed 常见场景：military ceremony、formal praise or acknowledgment、written or formal speech salute 通常带有正式或军事色彩，多用于军队、典礼或正式赞扬的场合；在日常口语中更常见地说 say hello 或 wave，而较少直接使用 salute。具体用法要看搭配和语境。
Pronunciation & Spelling
这些词与 salute 的重音音节 /lut/ 押韵。注意 minute（名词）看起来相似但读作 /ˈmɪnɪt/，absolute 的重音在第一个音节，所以它们不与 salute 押韵。
