发音与拼写Pronunciation & Spelling
No common word rhymes exactly with 'doldrum' (/ˈdɒldrəm/). 'Drum', 'eardrum', and 'humdrum' share the final spelling '-drum' but are pronounced with /drʌm/, not the unstressed /drəm/ of 'doldrum'. 'Conundrum' shares the unstressed /drəm/ ending but stress falls on the second syllable, so it does not rhyme. 'Tantrum' has a similar /trəm/ ending but is spelled '-trum' and is not a spelling match.
