发音与拼写Pronunciation & Spelling
All six words end in the spelling chunk -ow and rhyme with the final syllable of snowplow /plaʊ/: plow, cow, how, now, brow, allow all have /aʊ/. Beware lookalikes: snow begins snowplow but its -ow is /oʊ/, and low, slow, blow, flow, grow also use /oʊ/. Do not judge the sound from the spelling alone.
