发音与拼写Pronunciation & Spelling
The ending of interloper is /ˈintələʊpə/: the /ləʊp/ part also appears in lope, slope, and elope, but they end in a consonant, while interloper ends in an unstressed schwa, so they are not full rhymes. Envelope looks like a rhyming spelling but is pronounced /ˈenvələʊp/, still without the final schwa. Developer and grouper look similar but use different vowel sounds: /dɪˈveləpə/ and /ˈɡruːpə/.
