记忆方法
联想:想象一下你是警察,我考问他目的是啥?
是为了让他和你解释和说明他犯过的错或者罪,让他【叙述】实话或者【解释】为什么犯错的理由等等。
所以ount=omp,所以account=comput=计算。
所以account有计算的概念,而会计和账户都是和记账、计算有关系的。
双解例句
小知识
An account can be many things — such as a story, like if you give a friend an account of what happened at the party she missed. It can also be a business arrangement, like a bank account or an email account.
Account is one of those seemingly simple words that have a mass of different meanings. An account can be a narrative or story — a biography, for example, is an account of someone's life. Account can also mean an explanation of something, as in the phrase, “How do you account for that?” An account is also a handy arrangement whereby a store agrees to provide you goods on credit, but then you might have to account for all that debt.
