发音与拼写Pronunciation & Spelling
All listed words rhyme with the final stressed syllable /haɪt/ of Fahrenheit (height, night, right, white, site, sleight). The -heit spelling in Fahrenheit is pronounced /haɪt/, exactly like height. Beware lookalikes heist (/haɪst/) and feint (/feɪnt/), which share -ei- but do not end in /aɪt/; heir (/ɛr/) has hei- but sounds completely different.
