发音与拼写Pronunciation & Spelling
No listed word is a perfect rhyme with affluent, because rhyming requires the same stressed vowel: affluent has /ˈæf.../ with /æ/. Effluent is the nearest sound match, sharing the same post-stressed-vowel sequence /fluənt/ and differing only in the stressed vowel (/e/ vs /æ/). The -fluent words (fluent, effluent, confluent) all share the spelling chunk -fluent and the final /fluənt/, but fluent has a long stressed /uː/ and confluent adds /n/ before -fluent, so neither rhymes. Afflict and affable are lookalikes at the beginning: afflict starts with unstressed /ə/, and affable continues with /əbəl/. Eloquent shares the -uent spelling but is pronounced /ˈeləkwənt/ with /kwənt/.
