语域：formal 常见场景：formal writing、letters、news reporting solicitous 是比较正式的用词，通常指对他人或某事的关切与挂念，多用于书面语；口语中一般会用 concerned 或 worried 更常见。
与 solicitous /səˈlɪsətəs/ 真正押韵的是 felicitous /fəˈlɪsətəs/（重音都在 /lɪs/，结尾同为 /ətəs/）。solicit /səˈlɪsɪt/ 只是前部相同，结尾不同；precipitous /prɪˈsɪpɪtəs/ 拼写相近但重音在 /sɪp/，不押韵；delicious /dɪˈlɪʃəs/、suspicious /səˈspɪʃəs/ 中的 -cious 读 /ʃəs/，与 -tous /təs/ 不同；supercilious /ˌsuːpərˈsɪliəs/ 中的 -cilious 读 /sɪliəs/，也容易看错。
