发音与拼写Pronunciation & Spelling
没有与 contaminated /kənˈtæmineitid/ 完全押韵的常用词。下列词都以 -ated 结尾,读音包含 /-ɪneɪtɪd/,拼写相似,但重音和重读元音不同:nominated 重音在首音节 /nɒm/,dominated 在 /dɒm/,terminated 在 /tɜːm/,illuminated 在 /luː/,eliminated 在 /lɪm/,discriminated 在 /skrɪm/。因此它们与 contaminated 不押韵。注意不要与动词 contaminate /kənˈtæmɪneɪt/ 混淆,后者重音相同但没有词尾 /ɪd/。
