发音与拼写Pronunciation & Spelling
The words above share the common spelling pattern '-ly', but their stressed vowels differ from 'sharply' /ˈʃɑːpli/. For example, 'quickly' has /ɪ/, 'slowly' has /əʊ/, 'friendly' has /e/, 'hardly' has /ɑː/ (without an 'r' sound in British English), 'deeply' has /iː/, and 'barely' has /eə/. No common word rhymes perfectly with 'sharply' because the vowel and consonant sequence /ɑːpli/ is rare.
