用法说明
编辑許多寫作風格指導會建議讀者不使用 utilize 及 utilise，認為直接用 use 更好（同樣地，名詞 use 也要優於 utilization 和 utilisation）。[3][4][5][6]在一般場景下，使用本詞可能會顯得比較浮誇（如“please utilise the rear door when exiting the aircraft”），因此權威辭書也會建議謹慎使用。[7]
但在某些情況下，utilise 比需要迂言的 use 更合適，比如：
- “投入使用”，如“... utilise the production capacities of the local industries fully before ordering from foreign industries”；
- “消耗、消費”，如“... utilise the support that the system provides, such as by making the most of tax exemptions and special supplies”；
- “充分利用”，如“... farmers must utilise their land fully to boost food security”.
