Context & Register
语域：neutral 常见场景：police interrogation、courtroom、military intelligence interrogator 通常多用于较正式的场合，如警方审讯、法庭质询或军方情报，指进行讯问的人；语气中常带有严厉或压制的含义。日常口语中较少用，多会改用 questioner。另有电子产品领域“询问机”的义项。
Pronunciation & Spelling
发音提示：interrogator 词尾的 /ɡeɪtə/ 与 investigator、navigator、alligator、instigator 完全一致，适合对照拼写和发音；但重音位置不同，并非严格意义的押韵。calculator 和 generator 也以 -ator 结尾，但分别读 /leɪtə/ 和 /reɪtə/，前面辅音不同，是拼写相似、读音有别的词。
