发音与拼写Pronunciation & Spelling
None of these rhymes with 'irritant' (/ˈɪrətənt/). 'Hesitant' and 'militant' share the final syllable /tənt/ and the spelling '-itant', but their stressed vowels and consonants differ, so they do not rhyme. 'Ignorant', 'relevant', and 'tenant' share the unstressed suffix /ənt/ (spelled -ant) but are not rhymes. 'Irritate' is a lookalike: it spells the same first five letters as 'irritant' but is pronounced /ˈɪrɪteɪt/.
