发音与拼写Pronunciation & Spelling
All the words above share the spelling -path and the final sound /pæθ/ (as in the pronunciation given for towpath). None is a perfect rhyme with towpath because the stress differs: towpath is stressed on the first syllable, while path, footpath, bridlepath, bypath, and bike path have stress elsewhere (or on path itself in the case of path). Beware lookalikes of the first syllable: tow sounds like toe /toʊ/, not like tough /tʌf/ or cough /kɒf/.
