发音与拼写Pronunciation & Spelling
In American English, pant, scant, ant, plant, and grant rhyme with rant (/rænt/). In British English, plant and grant are /plɑːnt/ and /ɡrɑːnt/, so they do not rhyme. 'Want' is a spelling lookalike: it ends in -ant but is pronounced /wɑːnt/ in American English (and /wɒnt/ in British English).
