发音与拼写Pronunciation & Spelling

No common English word rhymes fully with recalcitrant /rɪˈkæl.sɪ.trənt/. The nearest sound matches are partial: calcium /ˈkæl.si.əm/ shares the stressed /kæl/ and the following /sɪ/; vibrant /ˈvaɪ.brənt/ shares the final /-rənt/ sound and the '-rant' spelling, but its stress is on the first syllable. Beware lookalikes with different sounds: recall /rɪˈkɔːl/ (spelled 'recal' but pronounced /kɔːl/), calculate /ˈkæl.kju.leɪt/ (shares the 'cal' spelling but has /kju/), citrus /ˈsɪt.rəs/ (shares the /sɪtr/ cluster but has a different stress and ending), and observant /əbˈzɜːr.vənt/ (shares only the '-ant' suffix).
