Learner notes
Memory Tip
记忆联想：resuscitate 以 res 开头，像 rescue（救援）——急救员按压后病人重获意识。
Context & Register
语域：formal 常见场景：医疗急救、正式新闻或书面报道 该词通常用于医疗或较正式的书面语境，表示使某人恢复知觉或复苏；日常口语中较少使用，更常见的说法是 bring someone back to life。
Pronunciation & Spelling
None of these words rhymes with resuscitate. Hesitate, imitate, irritate, meditate, and facilitate all end in -ate and have final /eɪt/, but their stressed vowels differ from resuscitate's /ʌ/, so they are lookalikes rather than sound matches. Resuscitation shares the root but ends in /ʃən/ and has stress on /teɪ/, not /sʌ/. Use spelling, not sound, to recognize the shared -ate/-ation endings.
