发音与拼写Pronunciation & Spelling
The words 'tyro' and 'pyro' share the ending sound /rəu/ and the stressed vowel /ai/, so they rhyme with 'cairo'. However, other words ending in '-ro' like 'borrow', 'sorrow', 'tomorrow' have different stressed vowels and do not rhyme. Also the spelling sequence 'air' in 'cairo' is pronounced /ai/ not /eər/ as in 'air'.
