发音与拼写Pronunciation & Spelling
In serpentine, the final syllable -tine is /taɪn/. Tine and turpentine rhyme with it exactly. Line and shine share the same /aɪn/ sound and the -ine spelling, but they do not end in -tine. Beware lookalikes ending in -ine: pristine (/ˈprɪstiːn/) and nicotine (/ˈnɪkətiːn/) end with /iːn/, so they sound very different.
