Learner notes
Memory Tip
记：rehab（康复中心）＋ilitate → 像送进康复中心一样，让人恢复健康、名誉或原状。
Context & Register
语域：formal 常见场景：medical rehabilitation、legal and reputational restoration、building or facility restoration、political reinstatement rehabilitate 比较正式，通常用于书面或较正式的场合，多出现在医疗康复、法律名誉恢复、工程修复和政治复职等语境中；日常随意口语里较少直接使用这个词，类似意思常用 recover、restore 等表达。
Pronunciation & Spelling
以 rehabilitate 的重读元音 /ɪ/ 为起点，从该元音到词尾为 /ɪlɪteɪt/；facilitate、debilitate、militate 的这一段也分别是 /ɪlɪteɪt/，所以押韵。imitate、hesitate 虽也以 -itate 结尾，但 imitate 的重读元音 /ɪ/ 后是 /m/，hesitate 的重读元音是 /ɛ/ 而非 /ɪ/，故均不押韵；translate 的重音在末音节，也不押韵。
