发音与拼写Pronunciation & Spelling
None of these is a true rhyme for the noun traverse /ˈtrævəːs/, whose stress is on the first syllable. The words reverse, diverse and averse rhyme with one another on /vɜːs/ (final stress), as does the standalone word verse; the verb form traverse /trəˈvɜːs/ also rhymes with them. Universe and converse (noun) are spelling lookalikes with first-syllable stress, but their stressed vowels do not match, so they do not rhyme with the noun.
