board、whiteboard,blackboard中,oar读作/ɔ:/,也是常规自然拼读读法;cupboard中,oar读作/ə/,是因为英文中有一种弱元音的规则,非重读音节中的元音发音会被弱化为/ə/,叫作弱元音(schwa 或 lazy/ə/)。有些词随着语言的发展,前后两部分已失去其单独存在的意义,融合成为一个词。其中的非重读部分要按非重读音节的读音规则发音。例如:break(中断)+fast/α:/(斋戒)=breakfast/ə/(早餐)cup(茶杯)+board/ɔ:/(木板)=cupboard/ə/(碗柜)main主要部分 +land陆地/æ/ → mainland/ə/大陆参考:百分百_25c6 简书

The term cupboard was originally used to describe an open-shelved side table for displaying dishware, more specifically plates, cups and saucers. These open cupboards typically had between one and three display tiers, and at the time, a drawer or multiple drawers fitted to them. The word cupboard gradually came to mean furniture for enclosing dishware or grocery items that are stored in a home.词义变广泛了,cupboard被当成衣柜很正常
