发音与拼写Pronunciation & Spelling
The stressed syllable of 'testily' sounds like /test/ as in the word 'test', and like the opening /testɪ/ of 'testy'. None of these words rhymes with 'testily', since that would require the full ending /estɪli/. The suffix '-ily' is pronounced /ɪli/, as in 'happily'. Though 'hastily' and 'nastily' share the spelling '-stily' and have a similar final sound /stɪli/, their stressed vowels are different (/heɪ/ and /næ/ vs /te/), so they do not rhyme with 'testily'.
