语法说明Grammar Note
复数形式为aquaria
发音与拼写Pronunciation & Spelling
Words ending in '-arium' that are stressed on the '-ar-' syllable (planetarium, solarium, terrarium, vivarium) rhyme with 'aquarium'. Note: 'auditorium' ends in '-arium' but has a different stressed vowel (/ɔː/ vs. /ɛ/), so it does not rhyme.
