发音与拼写Pronunciation & Spelling
All six words end with the sound /ʌf/ and rhyme with the stressed syllable of rebuff (/rɪˈbʌf/). Note that tough and rough are spelled with -ough, which can be pronounced many ways, so do not use the spelling to guess the sound. Beware lookalikes such as rebus (/ˈriːbəs/) and buffet (/bəˈfeɪ/), which look similar but sound different.
