发音与拼写Pronunciation & Spelling
No listed word is a true rhyme with /ˈstɑpɪdʒ/ because the stressed vowel and following sounds differ (slippage /ˈslɪpɪdʒ/, baggage and package /ˈbæ.../, village /ˈvɪ.../, hostage /ˈhɑst.../, garbage /ˈɡɑrb.../). They are useful spelling lookalikes sharing the -age ending, and slippage also matches the -pp- spelling; do not rely on their spelling to guess the vowel sound.
