发音与拼写Pronunciation & Spelling
All six words share the same stressed vowel /ɪ/ followed by /ʒən/, so they rhyme with indecision: decision, vision, revision, division, provision, and incision. Note that the -ci- in decision, incision, and indecision is pronounced /ʒ/, and lookalike indecisive /ˌɪndɪˈsaɪsɪv/ has /saɪsɪv/, so it does not rhyme.
