发音与拼写Pronunciation & Spelling
Seismic is pronounced /ˈsaɪz.mɪk/. No common English word rhymes with it. Cosmic /ˈkɒz.mɪk/ and cataclysmic /ˌkætəˈklɪz.mɪk/ are the closest spelling/sound lookalikes: they share the -smic spelling and the /zmɪk/ ending, but their stressed vowels are /ɒ/ and /ɪ/, not /aɪ/. Comic, sonic, chronic, and mimic also end in -ic, but none rhymes with seismic; do not let the -ic spelling mislead you.
