发音与拼写Pronunciation & Spelling
Words ending in -verse (verse, reverse, averse, universe) share the spelling chunk -verse, but universe has main stress on the first syllable, so only the first three are true rhymes with inverse. Disperse /dɪˈspəːs/ rhymes in sound but is spelled -sperse. Beware invert /ɪnˈvəːt/: it looks like inverse but ends in /t/ and does not rhyme.
