发音与拼写Pronunciation & Spelling
The final syllable /lɒŋ/ matches in along, belong, and long, which rhyme with each other. Headlong, lifelong, and oblong share the -long spelling but stress their first syllable, so they do not rhyme with long or sidelong. Sidelong stresses 'side', so it has no perfect rhyme here.
