语域：formal 常见场景：formal writing、historical or technical texts 作为形容词时，segregate 在现代英语中比较罕见，通常出现在正式或技术性书面语中，意思是“分离的、隔开的”；日常口语中更常用 segregated。
结尾拼写为 -gate 的词（delegate、navigate 等）与 segregate 的末尾读音都是 /ɡeɪt/；aggregate、desegregate、congregate 还共享拼写部分 gregate，其中 desegregate 的重读音节及其后部分与 segregate 完全相同，构成真正押韵。注意 integrate 拼写相近，但末尾 -grate 读作 /ɡreɪt/，多了一个 /r/，与 /ɡeɪt/ 不匹配。
