发音与拼写Pronunciation & Spelling
These six words are genuine rhymes with one another: /bæk/, /blæk/, /pæk/, /sæk/, /træk/, /dʒæk/ share the stressed vowel /æ/ and the final /k/. They also match the final -back element of horseback /ˈhɒːsbæk/, though horseback has primary stress on horse-, so it is not a perfect whole-word rhyme. Beware lookalikes: worse /wɜːs/ looks like horse but has a different vowel; the -orse in horseback is pronounced /ɔːs/.
