发音与拼写Pronunciation & Spelling
Magnify ends with the syllable /faɪ/, spelled '-ify'. All six words above share this ending and spelling, but they are not perfect rhymes with magnify because the primary stress is on the first syllable and the stressed vowels differ. Pay attention to the final /faɪ/ and the '-ify' spelling. Lookalikes such as 'magnificent' /mæɡˈnɪfɪsənt/ and 'magnitude' /ˈmæɡnɪtjuːd/ begin with 'magni-' but sound different, so do not model the pronunciation of magnify on them.
