发音与拼写Pronunciation & Spelling
No common word fully rhymes with nimbly /ˈnɪmbli/. Trembly matches the final /mbli/ sound but has a different stressed vowel, so it is only a partial match. Dimly is a spelling lookalike that drops the /b/. Nimble, thimble, and humble are all pronounced with final /mbəl/, not /mbli/, so they do not rhyme with nimbly. Note that limb is pronounced /lɪm/ with a silent b.
