发音与拼写Pronunciation & Spelling
Pronunciation note: 'saintly' rhymes exactly with 'faintly' (both /-eɪntli/). 'faint', 'feint', 'paint', and 'taint' share the same stressed vowel /eɪ/ and the /nt/ ending, but are one syllable shorter. 'gently' looks similar due to the '-tly' ending but has a different vowel sound (/e/ vs /eɪ/), so it does not rhyme.
