发音与拼写Pronunciation & Spelling
No common word rhymes exactly with the noun advocate /ˈædvəkət/. These words all end in the same unstressed -ate sound /ət/ and share the spelling -ate, but their stressed vowels differ, so they are lookalikes rather than rhymes. Be careful with the verb advocate /ˈædvəkeɪt/, where -ate is pronounced /eɪt/.
