Pronunciation & Spelling
这些词都以 -man 结尾,但读音并不都相同:oarsman /ˈɒːzmən/ 的 -sman 读 /zmən/(r 不发音),tradesman /ˈtreɪdzmən/ 的 -sman 也读 /zmən/,二者末尾辅音相同,但重读元音不同(/ɒː/ 对 /eɪ/),所以不押韵。spokesman /ˈspəʊksmən/、sportsman /ˈspɔːtsmən/、craftsman /ˈkrɑːftsmən/、statesman /ˈsteɪtsmən/ 中的 s 读 /s/(或融入 /ts/),不是 /z/。horseman /ˈhɔːsmən/ 拼写与 oarsman 相近,但 s 读 /s/,元音也不同。
