发音与拼写Pronunciation & Spelling
These words all end in the letters -ium, but the sounds diverge. Compendium, medium, and stadium share the final unstressed /diəm/ syllable, yet true rhymes are blocked because their stressed vowels and stress positions differ: compendium is stressed on /pɛn/, while medium and stadium are stressed on their first syllables. Auditorium, bacterium, cranium, and premium are spelling lookalikes only; their endings are pronounced /riəm/, /niəm/, or /miəm/, so they do not match the /diəm/ pattern.
