Pronunciation & Spelling
目标词 moderate（名词/形容词）读 /ˈmɑdɝət/，末尾 -ate 发 /ət/。上面除 operate 外，-ate 在形容词或名词中都弱读为 /ət/，如 separate, accurate, desperate, temperate, considerate。注意：operate 是动词，-ate 读 /eɪt/；separate 作动词时也读 /ˈsɛpəreɪt/，moderate 作动词意为“调节”时同样读 /ˈmɑdəreɪt/。没有与 /ˈmɑdɝət/ 完全押韵的常用词，这些词只是拼写和末音节读音有相似之处，不可按 -ate 的单一读音类推。
