发音与拼写Pronunciation & Spelling
No common word rhymes with 'mariner' (/ˈmɛrənɝ/). The words 'marine' and 'submarine' share the spelling 'marin' but pronounce the first syllable as /mə/, not /mɛr/. 'maritime' also begins with 'mar' but uses /mær/. The words 'examiner', 'container', and 'foreigner' have a similar unstressed final /ɝ/ sound but their stressed vowels differ, so they are not rhymes. Do not confuse the 'mar' in 'mariner' with the 'mar' in 'marine' or 'maritime'.
