发音与拼写Pronunciation & Spelling
emotionally (/ɪˈməʊʃənəli/) and devotionally (/dɪˈvəʊʃənəli/) rhyme with notionally, since they share the stressed vowel /əʊ/ and the following /ʃənəli/. Be cautious with the lookalikes ending -tionally: nationally and rationally have /ˈnæʃənəli/ and /ˈræʃənəli/ (stressed /æ/), and conditionally and traditionally have /kənˈdɪʃənəli/ and /trəˈdɪʃənəli/ (stressed /ɪ/); none of these rhymes with notionally.
