发音与拼写Pronunciation & Spelling
There are no common exact rhymes for furlong. The vowel in the stressed syllable is /əː/, as in fur, her, and bird, so these words are useful for practicing that sound. The spellings ending in -ong (long, song, wrong) look similar to furlong's final syllable, but they are stressed on /ɒŋ/, whereas furlong's final /lɒŋ/ is unstressed, so they are not rhymes.
