发音与拼写Pronunciation & Spelling
All listed words share the spelling pattern '-ering' and the ending /ərɪŋ/. However, 'catering' has the stressed vowel /eɪ/ (as in 'say'), while these words have different stressed vowels (e.g., /ʌ/, /æ/, /ɑː/, /ɪ/), so they do not rhyme perfectly. The pronunciation of the ending is similar, but the overall sound differs in the first syllable.
