发音与拼写Pronunciation & Spelling
这些词都不是 contemptuously 的严格押韵词，因为重读元音不同。-tuously 结尾的 presumptuously、sumptuously 与目标词共享拼写和 /tʃuəsli/ 后缀读音；-uously 结尾的 continuously、strenuously、tenuously 读 /juəsli/，没有 /tʃ/；assiduously 读 /dʒuəsli/。注意形近词 continuously，它虽以 con- 开头、-uously 结尾，但读作 /kənˈtɪnjuəsli/，不同于 /kənˈtɛmptʃuəsli/。
