Learner notes
Memory Tip
soli像sole（唯一），独处即solitude：一个人待着，自得其乐。
Context & Register
语域：mixed 常见场景：formal writing、literary prose、reflective speech 该词多用于正式或文学性语境，日常口语中稍显书面，但谈及独处状态或心境时也较常见。
Grammar Note
表示‘独处、孤独’的状态时通常不可数；作‘僻静处’解时可用复数 solitudes。
Pronunciation & Spelling
以上单词均以 -itude 结尾，发音中最后的非重读音节均为 /tjuːd/。但它们与 solitude 不构成严格押韵，因为重音所在音节不同（solitude 重音在第一个音节 /sɒl-/，且各词重读元音也不同）。注意别把 solitude 与形近但发音不同的词混淆，如 solitary /ˈsɒlɪtəri/、solid /ˈsɒlɪd/。
