发音与拼写Pronunciation & Spelling
Words ending in -iable such as liable, viable, reliable, friable, and deniable rhyme with pliable: from the stressed vowel onward they all sound /aɪəbəl/. Enviable is a spelling lookalike: it ends in -iable but is pronounced /ˈɛnviəbəl/, so it does not rhyme. Also beware pliant, which shares the pli- spelling and a similar meaning but is pronounced /ˈplaɪənt/.
