Memory Tip
联想 computer（电脑）：电脑里进行的 computation 就是“计算、计算结果”。想象敲击计算器算出总数，记住 com-put-ation 与 computer 同源同义。

语域：mixed 常见场景：academic writing、technical/computer contexts、scientific reports computation 通常用于学术、科技或计算机等较正式的语境，强调“计算”的过程或行为；日常口语中较少使用，正式写作中比较常见。请根据场合选择更正式或更口语化的表达。
Pronunciation & Spelling
reputation、amputation 与 computation 拼写上都以 -putation 结尾，且押韵；station、nation 以 -tion 结尾，读音也是 /eɪʃən/，同样押韵。tradition 和 action 虽也以 -tion 结尾，但分别读 /trəˈdɪʃən/ 和 /ˈækʃən/，元音不同，与 computation 不押韵，注意区分。
