发音与拼写Pronunciation & Spelling
Only inflammable (/ɪnˈflæməbəl/) is a genuine rhyme, sharing the exact /flæməbəl/ ending. Comfortable (/ˈkʌmftəbəl/) and amiable (/ˈeɪmiəbəl/) share the -able suffix but do not rhyme because their stressed vowels differ. Lookalikes like flannel (/ˈflænəl/), flame (/fleɪm/), and mammal (/ˈmæməl/) have similar spellings or segments but different endings and are not rhymes.
