Memory Tip

Grammar Note
作“深处”解时多用复数 depths；in depth 为固定短语，意为“深入地”。
Pronunciation & Spelling
All these words end in the voiceless 'th' (/θ/) sound. However, the stressed vowels differ from depth's /ɛ/: depth is /dɛpθ/, while length is /lɛŋθ/, breadth is /brɛdθ/, width is /wɪdθ/, strength is /strɛŋθ/, and wealth/health are /wɛlθ/ and /hɛlθ/. None are perfect rhymes with depth. Beware of lookalikes like 'height' (/haɪt/), which ends in /t/, not /θ/.
