发音与拼写Pronunciation & Spelling
None of these words fully rhymes with samson /ˈsæmsən/. The suffix -son in person /ˈpɜːrsən/, lesson /ˈlesən/, and Johnson /ˈdʒɑːnsən/ matches the unstressed /sən/ ending. Sam /sæm/ matches the stressed syllable /sæm/ but is a single syllable. Beware lookalikes: son /sʌn/ has a different vowel, and salmon /ˈsæmən/ begins with the same /sæm/ sound but has a silent l and no /s/ after the m.
