发音与拼写Pronunciation & Spelling
These words all end with the same unstressed suffix -ingly /ɪŋli/ as threateningly. They do not rhyme with threateningly because each has a different stressed syllable (threateningly is stressed on /θret/, whereas lovingly is stressed on /lʌv/, surprisingly on /praɪz/, increasingly on /kriːs/, willingly on /wɪl/, strikingly on /straɪk/, and alarmingly on /lɑːm/). Beware the lookalikes threat /θret/, threaten /ˈθretən/, and threatening /ˈθretənɪŋ/ (or /ˈθretnɪŋ/): they lack the final -ly /li/ and sound different.
