发音与拼写Pronunciation & Spelling
The words after, drafter, crafter, and laughter rhyme with rafter in General American (stressed /æf/ + /tɚ/). after, drafter, and crafter share the transparent spelling chunk -fter; laughter is a sound match but has the irregular spelling -ghter. raft shares the /æft/ sound but does not rhyme because it lacks the final /ɚ/. Beware lookalikes daughter /ˈdɔːtɚ/ and slaughter /ˈslɔːtɚ/: their -gh- changes the vowel, so they do not rhyme with rafter.
