发音与拼写Pronunciation & Spelling
All listed words rhyme with the final syllable of 'paraphrase' (/freɪz/). Note that 'phrase' and 'phase' are homophones. Beware of lookalikes ending in -ase such as 'base' (/beɪs/) and 'chase' (/tʃeɪs/), which end with /s/ and do not rhyme. Also, 'paraphrase' should not be confused with 'paragraph' (/ˈpærəɡræf/), which has a different final sound.
