发音与拼写Pronunciation & Spelling
No common word rhymes exactly with nicety (/ˈnaɪsəti/). Society (/səˈsaɪəti/), variety (/vəˈraɪəti/) and piety (/ˈpaɪəti/) are near-rhymes: they share the /aɪəti/ ending but do not have the /s/ after the stressed vowel. City (/ˈsɪti/) is a spelling lookalike with a different vowel. Capacity (/kəˈpæsəti/) and simplicity (/sɪmˈplɪsəti/) share the final unstressed /səti/ with nicety, but the stress is on a different syllable; this sound is more often spelled -city, while nicety uses -cety.
