发音与拼写Pronunciation & Spelling
All the words above end in the unstressed suffix /ʃənəl/, matching the final sounds of “exceptional” (/ɪkˈsɛpʃənəl/). However, because the main stress falls on different syllables, they do not rhyme with it. Also watch out: “exception” /ɪkˈsɛpʃən/ and “except” /ɪkˈsɛpt/ look similar but lack the final /əl/ and are not pronounced like “exceptional”.
