发音与拼写Pronunciation & Spelling
These words all end in the letters -ise, but the pronunciation varies. In organise, realise, advertise and recognise, -ise is pronounced /aɪz/, matching the final sound of agonise; however, they are not strict rhymes because the part from the stressed vowel to the end differs. Beware promise /ˈprɒm.ɪs/ and precise /prɪˈsaɪs/: their -ise is not pronounced /aɪz/.
