语域：mixed 常见场景：日常正念或冥想练习、书面语或正式场合表达沉思 该词在表示实际冥想时属于中性常用词；在表示“沉思、考虑”时多用于书面语或较正式的表达。日常口语中若想说“思考”，更常用 think 或 reflect。请根据具体语境选择。
These words all end in -itate and share the unstressed /ɪteɪt/ ending with meditate, but none rhymes with it because the stressed vowel and following consonants differ. Beware of lookalikes: facilitate /fəˈsɪlɪteɪt/ has stress on the second syllable, and mediate /ˈmiːdieɪt/ has a different vowel /iː/, so neither sounds like meditate.
