sojourn 拆成 so + journ，journ 像 journey（旅途），记住：旅途中短暂逗留一下。
语域：formal 常见场景：正式书面语、文学作品、游记或回忆录 sojourn 是较为正式、略带文学色彩的词，通常不用在日常口语；多用于书面叙事中描述短暂逗留或旅居。口语里更常说 stay。
The -ourn ending in sojourn is pronounced /dʒɝn/. Adjourn, burn, turn, yearn, and learn all contain the same /ɝn/ sound (spelled -ourn, -urn, or -earn). Journey is a useful lookalike: it keeps the spelling journ- but is pronounced /ˈdʒɝni/, so it does not share the final /ɝn/ sound.
