发音与拼写Pronunciation & Spelling
Only 'cease' matches the stressed first syllable of 'ceaseless' exactly (/siːs/); no common word rhymes with the whole word (/ˈsiːsləs/). The -less words below are useful lookalikes: they share the suffix -less and the unstressed ending /ləs/, but their stressed vowels differ, so they are not rhymes. 'seamless' starts with the same /siː/ sound but has an /m/ before -less. 'seize' sounds close to 'cease' but ends with /z/ and is spelled very differently.
