发音与拼写Pronunciation & Spelling
None of these words rhymes with 'larceny' (/ˈlɑːsəni/), even though they all end in '-ny' in spelling. Their stressed vowels differ: 'irony' has /aɪ/, 'colony' /ɒ/, 'phony' /əʊ/, 'ceremony' /e/, 'barony' /æ/, and 'Saxony' /æ/. 'Barony' and 'Saxony' are the closest in ending sound, but their stressed vowels still do not match. 'Irony' and 'phony' are especially easy to misspell based on spelling alone.
