发音与拼写Pronunciation & Spelling
The final stressed syllable in heterogeneous is pronounced /dʒinjəs/, which rhymes with genius, and with the variant pronunciations of homogeneous and ingenious ending in /dʒinjəs/. The -aneous lookalikes simultaneous /ˌsaɪməlˈteɪniəs/, spontaneous /spɑːnˈteɪniəs/, and miscellaneous /ˌmɪsəˈleɪniəs/ have their stress on /teɪ/ or /leɪ/, so they do not rhyme with heterogeneous.
