发音与拼写Pronunciation & Spelling
No common word fully rhymes with /ˈaʊˌtreɪdʒ/ because the main stress falls on the first syllable. 'out' shares the initial /aʊ/ sound; 'rage' and 'page' share the final /eɪdʒ/ sound but with different stress. 'outage' and 'courage' are spelling lookalikes ending in -age; their -age is pronounced /ɪdʒ/, not /eɪdʒ/.
