发音与拼写Pronunciation & Spelling
None of these is a true rhyme of /ˈskɝələs/: scurrilous has first-syllable stress with /ɝ/, while each -lous word has a different stressed vowel (e.g., /perələs/, /fæbjələs/, /ɡærələs/, /krɛdʒələs/, /məˈtɪkjələs/, /rɪˈdɪkjələs/). They are useful spelling lookalikes sharing only the final -lous spelling; do not judge their pronunciation from the spelling.
