发音与拼写Pronunciation & Spelling
No common English word rhymes exactly with /ˈsæŋɡwɪn/. Closest sound matches are 'anguish' /ˈæŋɡwɪʃ/ and 'language' /ˈlæŋɡwɪdʒ/, which share the /æŋɡwɪ/ sequence but have different endings. Beware lookalikes: 'penguin' /ˈpɛŋɡwɪn/ has the same /ɡwɪn/ ending but a different stressed vowel, and 'linguine' /lɪŋˈɡwiːni/ is spelled -guine but pronounced very differently. 'Extinguish' /ɪkˈstɪŋɡwɪʃ/ also has the /ɡw/ sound but does not rhyme.
