发音与拼写Pronunciation & Spelling
The verb 'accent' is pronounced /əkˈsɛnt/ with stress on the second syllable, so each word above rhymes on the '-sɛnt' sound. Be careful: the same spelling as a noun is usually pronounced /ˈæk.sənt/ with first-syllable stress, and lookalikes such as 'decent' (/ˈdiː.sənt/) and 'innocent' (/ˈɪn.ə.sənt/) do not rhyme because their stress and vowel sounds differ.
