语法说明Grammar Note
不可数名词
发音与拼写Pronunciation & Spelling
Only 'sadness' (and 'badness', 'gladness') rhymes exactly with 'madness' because they share the same stressed vowel /æ/ and subsequent /dnəs/. Words like 'happiness', 'darkness', etc., share the '-ness' suffix but have different stressed vowels, so they do not rhyme.
