发音与拼写Pronunciation & Spelling
No common word rhymes with 'herdsman' (/ˈhəːdzmən/). Several useful lookalikes end in '-sman'. The final 's' is voiced /z/ after a voiced sound, as in 'tradesman' /ˈtreɪdzmən/ and 'woodsman' /ˈwʊdzmən/, but voiceless /s/ after a voiceless sound, as in 'spokesman' /ˈspəʊksmən/, 'statesman' /ˈsteɪtsmən/, and 'sportsman' /ˈspɔːtsmən/. Their stressed vowels differ, so they do not rhyme with 'herdsman'.
