发音与拼写Pronunciation & Spelling
Words with the -ficiency chunk (efficiency, deficiency, proficiency, sufficiency) all rhyme with inefficiency: they share the stressed /ˈfɪʃənsi/ ending. Beware lookalikes like discrepancy and frequency: despite the similar -ency spelling, they end in /ənsi/, not /ʃənsi/, so they do not rhyme with inefficiency.
