发音与拼写Pronunciation & Spelling
Only 'proportionate' rhymes exactly with the target (same stressed /ɒː/ and /ʃənət/ ending). 'portion' and 'proportion' share the stressed vowel and /ʃən/ but lack the final /ət/ syllable, so they do not rhyme perfectly. 'passionate' and 'compassionate' look similar in spelling (-tionate/-sionate) and contain the same /ʃənət/ suffix, but their stressed vowel is /æ/, so they sound different. In non-rhotic British pronunciation, the 'r' in -por- is silent.
