发音与拼写Pronunciation & Spelling
All six words share the spelling suffix '-rence' and end with the sound /rəns/, but none rhymes with deterrence /dɪˈtɜːrəns/ in British English. Reference, preference, and inference are stressed on the first syllable and reduce the '-er-' to /ə/; occurrence, concurrence, and recurrence are stressed on the second syllable but use /ʌ/ instead of /ɜː/. In American English, occurrence, concurrence, and recurrence can rhyme with deterrence.
