语域：mixed 常见场景：formal writing、news reporting、political discourse 这个动词在不同语境中用法差别较大：正式或书面语中多指使人焦虑/不安或物理上的摇动，政治语境中常指鼓动或煽动。日常口语中较少使用，通常用 upset、shake 或 campaign 等更直接的词。
agitate（/ˈædʒɪteɪt/）没有常见的完全押韵词。imitate、irritate、meditate、hesitate 都以 -itate 结尾且末尾都读 /eɪt/，但它们的重读元音不同，所以只是拼写相近，并不押韵。calculate 和 navigate 开头与 agitate 一样重读 /æ/，但 /æ/ 后的辅音不同，可用来练习首音。
