发音与拼写Pronunciation & Spelling
In British English, robbery and slobbery rhyme with snobbery (stressed /ɒ/ + /bəri/, spelled as the chunk obbery). Surgery and slavery share the final spelling -ery and the unstressed /əri/ sound, but their stressed vowels (/ɜː/ and /eɪ/) differ, so they are not true rhymes. Lookalikes: every is compressed to /ˈɛvri/, and snooty, though semantically close, is pronounced /ˈsnuːti/.
