Learner notes
Memory Tip
把dicate联想成“说”：对主语加以“说”明、描述的部分就是谓语（谓项）。这只是记忆联想，不是词源。
Context & Register
语域：formal 常见场景：formal logic、philosophy of language、semantics 该义项是逻辑学术语，指命题中与主词相对的谓项，通常见于形式逻辑、语言哲学和语义学等正式书面语境；日常口语中很少使用。
Pronunciation & Spelling
发音提示：predicate 的读音 /ˈprɛdəˌkeɪt/ 以 /keɪt/ 结尾。dedicate、indicate、fabricate、complicate、advocate（动词）和 locate 的末尾也都读 /keɪt/，可用来对照这个音节；但由于这些词的重读元音或前面的辅音与 predicate 不完全相同，它们并不算整词押韵。predict 是形近词，读 /prɪˈdɪkt/，与 predicate 发音差别很大，注意区分。
