Pronunciation & Spelling
真正押韵的是 insolvent (/ɪnˈsɑlvənt/)，它与 solvent 的重读部分 /ɑlvənt/ 相同。拼写含 'solv' 的词（solve /sɑlv/、dissolve /dɪˈzɑlv/、resolve /rɪˈzɑlv/、absolve /əbˈzɑlv/）拼写和第一个音节相似，但没有最后的 /ənt/ 音节，因此不与 solvent 押韵。注意形近词 convent (/ˈkɑnvənt/) 在 /vənt/ 前是 /n/ 而不是 /l/；prevent (/prɪˈvɛnt/) 的重读元音是 /ɛ/，所以也不押韵。
