发音与拼写Pronunciation & Spelling
No common word rhymes exactly with exasperate /ɪɡˈzæspəreɪt/ (stressed vowel /æ/, followed by /spəreɪt/). Among the list, evaporate is closest: it shares the stressed vowel /æ/ and the ending /pəreɪt/, but the /sp/ in exasperate blocks a full rhyme. Separate, moderate and generate share only the unstressed '-erate' spelling and final /əreɪt/. Desperate is a useful lookalike because its final '-rate' is pronounced /ərət/, not /eɪt/. Vibrate shows the common '-ate' verb ending /eɪt/ but has a different stressed vowel.
