发音与拼写Pronunciation & Spelling
The final unstressed syllable /lənd/ of Greenland matches in Ireland (/ˈaɪərlənd/), Scotland (/ˈskɑːtlənd/), England (/ˈɪŋɡlənd/), and woodland (/ˈwʊdlənd/), but these do not rhyme with it because the stressed vowel differs. Beware the lookalike land: alone it is /lænd/, while in Greenland (as in the other compounds) it is reduced to /lənd/. The first syllable of Greenland is pronounced like green (/ɡriːn/).
