Memory Tip
visit 中含有 sit（坐）：去拜访就是到对方家里坐坐、聊聊天。
Context & Register
语域：neutral 常见场景：social visits、travel and tourism、business or official visits visit 作“拜访、探望某人”或“参观、游览某地”讲时，是中性常用词，日常口语和书面语都适用。具体含义一般看宾语：宾语是人多指“拜访”，宾语是地点多指“参观、游览”。搭配范围比较广，如 visit a friend、visit a museum、visit a city，均不带明显语域色彩。
Pronunciation & Spelling
这些单词都与 visit 有相同的拼写部分 "it" 和末尾非重读的 /ɪt/，但它们都不是 visit /ˈvɪzɪt/ 的完美押韵词，因为重读元音和 /ɪt/ 之前的辅音不同；真正的押韵词很少（如短语 "is it" /ˈɪzɪt/）。注意形似但音不同的词："suite" /swiːt/ 和 "appetite" /ˈæpɪtaɪt/ 的结尾是 /iːt/ 或 /aɪt/，而不是 /ɪt/。
