语法说明Grammar Note
可数名词，常用作头衔或职位。
发音与拼写Pronunciation & Spelling
Lieutenant (/luːˈtɛnənt/) rhymes only with tenant (/ˈtɛnənt/) because both have the same stressed syllable /tɛn/ followed by /ənt/. Other words ending in -ant (important, elephant, etc.) have different stressed vowels, so they do not rhyme, though they share the spelling pattern.
