发音与拼写Pronunciation & Spelling
Final-syllable sound matches: operator /ˈɑːpəreɪtɚ/, translator /trænzˈleɪtɚ/, investigator /ɪnˈvestɪɡeɪtɚ/, and educator /ˈɛdʒəkeɪtɚ/ all end in the same -ator /eɪtɚ/ sound as collaborator. However, none of these words rhymes with collaborator in the strict sense, because the primary stressed vowel differs (collaborator stresses /æ/). Actor /ˈæktɚ/ is a lookalike that also ends in -or /ɚ/, but it lacks the /eɪt/ vowel. Do not confuse the spelling ending: collaborator ends in -or, not -er.
