participate
用法要点
介词搭配
participate 通常与介词 in 连用，表示参与某项具体活动或事件；在正式语境中也可与 with 连用，表示与他人共同参与。
句型结构
常用作不及物动词，后接介词短语；也可作及物动词，但较少见，多用于正式或法律语境中表示分享或分担。
语域说明
participate 属于正式或中性用语，适用于学术、商务及日常场景；在非正式口语中，join 或 take part in 更常用。
否定形式
否定时常用 do not participate 或 decline to participate，避免使用 not participate in 单独出现，可能显得生硬。
