发音与拼写Pronunciation & Spelling
The first syllable 'down' in 'downpour' rhymes with 'brown', 'town', and 'crown' (/aʊn/). The ending '-pour' is pronounced exactly like the verb 'pour' /pɔːr/. Beware lookalikes 'sour' and 'hour': they end in -our but are pronounced /ˈsaʊər/ and /ˈaʊər/, so they do not rhyme with 'pour'.
