发音与拼写Pronunciation & Spelling
Potsdam is pronounced /ˈpɒtsdæm/: the first part "Pots" sounds like the word "pots" /pɒts/, and the final "dam" sounds like "dam" /dæm/ (a water dam). Be careful with lookalikes written with -dam or -dom, such as "madam" /ˈmædəm/, "random" /ˈrændəm/, "wisdom" /ˈwɪzdəm/, and "freedom" /ˈfriːdəm/: their final syllable is a weak /dəm/, not /dæm/, so they do not rhyme with "dam".
