The aphorism "English words don't end in u," is frequently invoked by spelling teachers as an aid in spelling such common words as, blue, clue, cue, due, flue, glue, hue, and true.
拼寫老師教授blue、clue,、cue,、flue、glue,、hue和true等單詞時頻繁借助“英語單詞不以u結尾”這句格言,。

The silent final e also rescues the following words from the onus of ending in u: construe, continue, ensue, imbue, and issue.
放在詞尾不發(fā)音的e也可以使construe,、continue、ensue,、imbue和issue等單詞免于以u結尾,。

The only two native English words that end in u are the pronouns thou and you, but they probably shouldn't count because they really end in ou.
英語中只有人稱代詞thou和you兩個本土英語單詞以u結尾，但這兩個詞很可能不應該算作以u結尾,，因為它們實際上是以ou結尾,。

There remain 50 or so "English" words that do end in u. I put English in quotation marks because most of these u-words obviously came undigested from some other language, most from French. The following words ending with u are fairly common.
還有大約50個“英語”單詞以u結尾?！坝⒄Z”帶引號是因為大多數(shù)這些以u結尾的單詞很明顯源于其他語言,，大多數(shù)源于法語。以下以u結尾的單詞相當常見,。
