发音与拼写Pronunciation & Spelling
shrilly /ˈʃrɪli/ rhymes with silly, hilly, frilly, chilly, billy, and lily: they all end in the sound /ɪli/ with stress on the first syllable. Be careful with lookalikes: words ending in -ily such as happily /ˈhæpɪli/ and easily /ˈiːzɪli/ do not rhyme, and the base word shrill /ʃrɪl/ has no final /i/ sound.
