发音与拼写Pronunciation & Spelling
complement sounds exactly like compliment and is a common spelling mistake. Words like element, argument and development share only the ending -ment (pronounced /mənt/); they do not rhyme with compliment because the stressed vowel is different. Beware of comply and complete: they begin with the same letters compl- but sound different (/kəmˈplaɪ/ and /kəmˈpliːt/).
