发音与拼写Pronunciation & Spelling
Jamaican is pronounced /dʒəˈmeɪkən/. It rhymes with words ending in /eɪkən/: bacon, awaken, taken, mistaken. Watch out for lookalikes spelled -ican, such as American /əˈmɛrɪkən/ and Mexican /ˈmɛksɪkən/: they end in /ɪkən/ (or /əkən/), not /eɪkən/, so they do not rhyme.
