发音与拼写Pronunciation & Spelling
None of these words rhymes exactly with foray (/ˈfɔːreɪ/). Foray has first-syllable stress; array, betray, delay, and portray are stressed on the final /-eɪ/, so they are lookalikes that sound different. Day and essay share the /eɪ/ sound but not foray's stressed vowel /ɔːr/.
