发音与拼写Pronunciation & Spelling
These words all contain the spelling chunk -esque, which is stressed and pronounced /esk/, so they rhyme with grotesque, the base of grotesquely. In grotesquely, the -ly suffix is pronounced /li/, so the sound before it stays /sk/. Beware lookalikes: -esque is never /eskjuː/ or /eskweɪ/ (the 'squ' is just /sk/), and words ending in -ique, such as unique /juːˈniːk/ and technique /tekˈniːk/, end in /iːk/ and do not rhyme with these words.
