第90课:同音字,听起来一样

Lesson 90: Homophones, Words that sound the Same

A homophone is a word that is pronounced the same (or almost the same) as another word, but has a different meaning. 同音词是一个发音与另一个单词相同(或几乎相同)的单词,但含义不同。

This is an annoying thing about English. 这是关于英语的烦人的事情。 It is because English developed as a mixture of many languages. 这是因为英语发展为多种语言的混合体。

Here is an alphabetical list of common homophone word-pairs, sometimes word-triples and even word-quadruples. 这是常见同音异义词对的字母顺序列表,有时还包括三个单词甚至三个单词。
