发音与拼写Pronunciation & Spelling
Only 'rectal' (/ˈrektəl/) rhymes with 'colorectal' (/ˌkəʊləˈrektəl/) because both end in the stressed /rektəl/ sound. 'colon' (/ˈkəʊlən/) shares the first syllable /kəʊl/ but not the ending. 'colonial' (/kəˈləʊniəl/), 'colony' (/ˈkɒləni/), and 'colour' (/ˈkʌlə/) look similar at the start but have different vowels and rhythm. 'correct' (/kəˈrekt/) shares the /rekt/ sound but lacks the final /əl/, so it does not rhyme with the full word.
