发音与拼写Pronunciation & Spelling
All listed -ate words take the weak ending /ət/ as adjectives, like temperate: moderate, deliberate, separate, accurate, desperate. The verb forms of some have /eɪt/ (e.g., to moderate /ˈmɑːdəreɪt/). Separate and desperate share temperate's final /pərət/, but they are not true rhymes because the stressed vowels are followed by different consonants. Also beware of the lookalike temperature /ˈtɛmpərətʃər/, which adds /tʃər/.
