发音与拼写Pronunciation & Spelling
mildew /ˈmɪlˌduː/ has no common perfect rhyme. The final syllable /duː/ matches dew and due exactly, and the first syllable /mɪl/ matches mill. However, mildew is stressed on the first syllable, so dew and due do not rhyme with it. Few and new have the same /uː/ vowel but a different consonant before it; mild looks like mill but is pronounced /maɪld/ with a long /aɪ/.
