语境与语域Context & Register
语域:formal 常见场景:文学或抒情描写、正式演讲或评论 该词多用于书面语或文学性描写,语气正式,带有“使人兴奋、振奋”的崇高感;日常口语中较少使用动词原形,更常说 exciting 或 make someone excited。
发音与拼写Pronunciation & Spelling
这些词都以 -rate 结尾,读作 /reɪt/,与 exhilarate 的结尾读音一致。注意:exhilarate 的重音在第二个音节 /ˈzɪl/,而 generate、tolerate、separate 的重音在第一个音节,所以它们与 exhilarate 并不完全同韵;另外,exhale 虽以 exh 开头,但读 /ɛksˈheɪl/,不要类推。
