语境与语域Context & Register
语域：mixed 常见场景：literary prose、formal essays 这个词多用于书面或较正式的语境，带有文学或严肃色彩；日常口语中更常用 alone。在固定搭配如 solitary confinement 中也很常见，总体语气偏正式，具体场合需看搭配。
语法说明Grammar Note
用作定语或表语；常与表示人或地点的名词搭配
发音与拼写Pronunciation & Spelling
这些词与 solitary 一样以 /ˌtɛri/ 结尾：military、momentary、voluntary、sedentary、secretary。但严格押韵要求重读元音和其后的音都相同，solitary 的重读元音是 /ɑ/，所以它们并不真正押韵。注意形近词：necessary 实际读作 /ˈnɛsəˌsɛri/，结尾是 /ˌsɛri/ 而非 /ˌtɛri/；territory 的结尾是 /ˌtɔri/。
