发音与拼写Pronunciation & Spelling
这六个词的结尾都是清音 /s/，押 /iːs/ 韵，与 decease /dɪˈsiːs/ 的重读音节同韵：peace、piece、cease、lease、niece、fleece。其中 piece 与 peace 完全同音，niece 与 piece 的拼写尾 -iece 也读 /iːs/。要小心拼写相近却读浊音 /iːz/ 的词，它们并不押韵：please、ease、disease、these 结尾都是 /z/，ease 更是 /iːz/ 而非 /iːs/；此外 decease 结尾的 -cease 与动词 cease 同音，开头的 c 在这里并不影响读音。
