Learner notes
Memory Tip
联想：subject 作动词重音在后（sub-JECT），想象把人“压”到脚下，使其服从或受苦；重音在前是名词“主题”。
Context & Register
语域：formal 常见场景：法律/规章、学术写作、新闻报道 作动词时读作/səbˈdʒekt/，多用于正式场合，表示‘使遭受’或‘使服从’，常用于被动结构‘be subjected to’。日常口语较少用，更常见的说法是‘put through’或‘make someone experience’。注意与作名词或形容词时的读音不同。
Grammar Note
常用被动语态，表示‘使遭受’
Pronunciation & Spelling
这些词都以 -ject 结尾，重音在最后一个音节，发音为 /dʒɛkt/，与 subject 的动词发音押韵。注意：subject、object、project 作名词时重音移到第一个音节，发音会改变（如 subject /ˈsʌbdʒɪkt/），不要混淆。
High-value vocabulary
该词属于 Oxford 核心词汇，值得优先掌握常见搭配和句型。
