发音与拼写Pronunciation & Spelling
Only 'palatable' is a true rhyme: the stressed syllable and everything after it match /ˈpælətəbəl/. 'Palate' shares the stressed syllable and the first /lət/ but is cut short, so it does not rhyme. 'Table', 'vegetable', and 'inflatable' are spelling lookalikes: they all contain the ending '-table', but 'table' stresses /teɪ/, while 'vegetable' and 'inflatable' put the stress elsewhere, so they only share the unstressed /təbəl/ tail with the target.
