发音与拼写Pronunciation & Spelling
None of these words rhyme with irascible /ɪˈræsɪbəl/. They all have an unstressed -ible/-able ending pronounced /əbəl/, but the stressed vowel and stress position differ (e.g., accessible stresses the second syllable with /e/; feasible stresses the first with /iː/). Irritable looks similar to irascible and also means 'easily annoyed', but it is pronounced /ˈɪrɪtəbəl/ with stress on the first syllable, not on the second.
