发音与拼写Pronunciation & Spelling
Boycott is pronounced /ˈbɒɪkɒt/. The first syllable sounds like 'boy' (/bɔɪ/), and the last syllable sounds like 'cot' (/kɒt/). 'Toy', 'annoy', and 'enjoy' contain the same vowel sound as 'boy'. 'Cottage' shares the spelling 'cott' and the /kɒt/ sound, but it has an extra syllable, so it does not rhyme with 'boycott'.
