information technology 是固定搭配,作定语时用名词 information,不用形容词 informational。汉语“信息技术”直译时容易加 -al 误写成 informational。

Pronunciation & Spelling
Genuine rhymes: educational, occupational, conversational, and organizational all have the stressed /eɪ/ and then /ʃənəl/ (organizational has /zeɪʃənəl/, which still rhymes on /eɪʃənəl/). Beware lookalikes with -ational: international /ˌɪntərˈnæʃənəl/ and national /ˈnæʃənəl/ have stressed /æ/, not /eɪ/, so they do not rhyme with informational.
