washable 是三个音节的形容词，比较级要用 more + 原级，而不能在词尾加 -er。

Pronunciation & Spelling
The stressed first syllable /ˈwɔʃ/ of washable is pronounced exactly like wash /wɔʃ/, so wash is a genuine sound match. No common word fully rhymes with /ˈwɔʃəbl/. Words such as portable /ˈpɔrtəbəl/, durable /ˈdʊrəbəl/, fashionable /ˈfæʃənəbəl/, and comfortable /ˈkʌmftəbəl/ share only the unstressed suffix /əbəl/; they are useful spelling lookalikes but do not rhyme with washable. Able /ˈeɪbəl/ is the trickiest: it looks like the ending -able but has a stressed /eɪ/.
