语域：formal 常见场景：formal writing、legal and corporate documents、philosophical or theological texts 该词作形容词时非常少见，通常出现在正式文体或专业文书中：表示“非物质的、无形的”时多见于哲学、宗教或学术语境，表示“未组成公司的”时多见于法律或商务文件；日常口语中一般不会这样用。
The final '-ate' is pronounced /eɪt/ here. Cooperate /kəʊˈɒpəreɪt/ and operate /ˈɒpəreɪt/ share the unstressed /pəreɪt/ ending and are near rhymes (exact only if the stressed vowels are allowed to match). Corporate /ˈkɔːpərət/, elaborate (adj.) /ɪˈlæbərət/ and considerate /kənˈsɪdərət/ are spelling lookalikes ending in /ət/, not /eɪt/. Separate is /ˈsɛpəreɪt/ as a verb but /ˈsɛpərət/ as an adjective.
