发音与拼写Pronunciation & Spelling
These words all end with the /ɪɡ/ sound and rhyme with the final syllable of bigwig (/ˈbɪɡˌwɪɡ/). Note that bigwig is literally 'big' + 'wig'. Be careful with the 'igh' spelling in lookalikes like high /haɪ/ and sign /saɪn/, which are pronounced with a long vowel and silent 'gh'. Also, pig /pɪɡ/ and pick /pɪk/ differ only in the final consonant.
