用法筆記
Frequently appears with a percentage, the modifiers 'high / low / average', or as the compound 'occupancy rate'. Subject is the venue or its operator, not the guests; the noun rarely takes 'of + person'. Distinguish from sense 1: that sense is about who is using a place; this sense is about how much of the place is in use.
