发音与拼写Pronunciation & Spelling
pitch /pɪtʃ/、ditch /dɪtʃ/、hitch /hɪtʃ/ 与 pitchfork 的第一个音节 pitch 同音(/-ɪtʃ/);fork /fɔrk/、cork /kɔrk/、stork /stɔrk/ 与 pitchfork 中 -fork 的读音相同(/-ɔrk/)。注意整个 pitchfork 的重音在第一个音节,因此这些词并不与整个词构成严格押韵。拼写干扰:patchwork /ˈpætʃwɜrk/ 看起来像 pitchfork,但读音完全不同;peach /piːtʃ/ 与 pitch 拼写接近但元音不同;porch /pɔrtʃ/ 拼写以 -rch 结尾,不读 /fɔrk/。
