语域：neutral 常见场景：动物冬眠的生物学语境、计算机或电子设备休眠、较正式的书面表达 hibernate 通常用于描述动物冬眠或设备进入休眠状态，多出现在科技、生物等比较正式的书面语境；日常口语中较少使用。用于比喻“蛰伏、隐退”时也偏正式。
发音与拼写Pronunciation & Spelling
Words ending in -ate can be tricky: hibernate ends with /eɪt/, like late, relate, and translate (but these do not rhyme with the whole word because hibernate has primary stress on the first syllable). Be careful with lookalikes: private, climate, and chocolate end in -ate but have a reduced vowel (/ɪt/, /ət/, or /lət/).
