发音与拼写Pronunciation & Spelling
Genuine rhymes: reliable, viable, liable, and deniable all have the stressed vowel /aɪ/ followed by /əbəl/, matching justifiable's final /ˌfaɪəbəl/. Be careful with lookalikes: sociable /ˈsoʊʃəbəl/ and appreciable /əˈpriːʃəbəl/ are spelled with -iable but pronounced with /ʃ/ and a different vowel, not /aɪ/. Also note that justifiable's own relatives justify /ˈdʒʌstəfaɪ/ and justified /ˈdʒʌstəfaɪd/ look similar but do not share this -iable ending.
