发音与拼写Pronunciation & Spelling
Virginia is a genuine rhyme: its stressed /ɪ/ and the following /njə/ match Abyssinia's /ˈsɪnjə/. The other five are useful lookalikes: Albania, Pennsylvania, Romania, and Tasmania have stressed /eɪ/, and California has stressed /ɔː/, so they do not rhyme with Abyssinia.
