发音与拼写Pronunciation & Spelling
London is pronounced /ˈlʌndən/. No common words share the exact stressed vowel and ending /ʌndən/. Words like 'thunder', 'plunder', 'under' have /ʌndər/ (with an r), so they are not true rhymes. Words like 'don', 'fond', 'bond' have a different vowel /ɒ/ and are spelling lookalikes only.
