发音与拼写Pronunciation & Spelling
None of these rhymes exactly with intellectual /ˌɪntəˈlɛk(t)ʃʊəl/. Actual, perpetual, habitual, and ritual share the written suffix -tual and the final /tʃuəl/ sound, but they have different stress and preceding sounds. Lecture shares the /lɛktʃ/ sound in the stressed syllable, and intellect shares the spelling 'intellect' at the start of intellectual, but neither has the -tual ending.
