发音与拼写Pronunciation & Spelling
Words sharing the '-entry' spelling pattern: 'entry', 'sentry', 'gentry' all end with /tri/ and have the same final syllable as 'coventry' (though different stressed vowel). 'Pantry', 'country', 'laundry' look similar but have different vowel sounds: 'pantry' /ˈpæntri/, 'country' /ˈkʌntri/, 'laundry' /ˈlɔːndri/. 'Coventry' itself has /ˈkɔvəntri/ so it does not rhyme with any of these.
