发音与拼写Pronunciation & Spelling
All words end in the spelling 'spect' and share the /spɛkt/ sound, but stress differs. 'Retrospect', 'aspect', 'prospect' have first-syllable stress; 'suspect', 'inspect', 'respect', 'expect' stress the 'spect' syllable. Despite this, the vowel /ɛ/ and following /kt/ are identical, so they are near-rhymes.
