把 south（南）和 east（东）拼在一起，就像指南针从南向东转 45 度，记住 southeast 就是东南。
Context & Register
语域：neutral 常见场景：地图与地理、气象与风向、旅行与方位 southeast 作名词或形容词时通常为中性语体，多用于地图、地理、天气、旅行等场景；常见于 the southeast、southeast Asia/coast 等搭配，没有明显口语或书面限制。
Grammar Note
作名词表示方向或地区时，通常与 the 连用，如 the southeast；作形容词时常作定语，如 the southeast region。
Pronunciation & Spelling
真正同韵的只有 northeast（/ˌnɔːrˈθiːst/），与 southeast 的重读音节都读 /ˈθiːst/。east、yeast、least 拼写都含 -east，但读 /iːst/，少了 /θ/ 音；breast 是最大的陷阱，读 /brɛst/，元音和辅音都不同。south 只与首音节 /saʊ/ 相合。
