发音与拼写Pronunciation & Spelling
Only 'selfish' (/ˈsɛlfɪʃ/) truly rhymes with 'unselfish' (/ˌʌnˈsɛlfɪʃ/). 'fish', 'catfish' and 'jellyfish' share the final spelling 'fish' and the final sound /fɪʃ/ but are not rhymes because their stressed vowel differs. 'wish' and 'childish' share the '-ish' spelling but have different vowels, so they are lookalikes, not rhymes.
