这些词都以 -able 结尾,但重音不一致。explicable /ˈeksplikəbl/ 重音在第一音节;applicable 若读 /əˈplɪkəbl/,则与 despicable /dɪˈspɪkəbl/ 和 inexplicable /ˌɪnˈsplɪkəbl/ 互相押韵(重音都在第二音节的 -plic- 上),但均不与 explicable 押韵;注意 applicable 在美式英语中也常读 /ˈæplɪkəbl/,此时它不再与 despicable 押韵。impeccable /ɪmˈpɛkəbl/ 与 implacable /ɪmˈplækəbl/ 都有 /ɪm-/ 开头,但重读元音/辅音不同,互不押韵,也不与 explicable 押韵;replicable /ˈrɛplɪkəbl/ 虽拼作 -plicable,但重音在首音节,且比 explicable 少了 /ks/ 音,因此不押韵。
