    词源记忆法
    英语单词canvas(帆布)和canvass(细查)的拼写只有一字之差,它们之间有什么关系呢?原来,它们来源相同,只是一个用作名词,一个用作动词。它们都来自希腊语kannabis(cannabis,大麻),本意是用大麻制成的粗帆布。由于古代人用这种粗布来筛东西,所以用作动词时表示“筛”,进而衍生出“细查、细究、详细讨论”等含义,后来又衍生出“劝诱、拉选票”的含义。而用作名词时,表示“帆布”。由于油画都使用帆布,所以还可以表示“画布”。

    小知识

    Canvas is a heavy, coarse fabric artists paint on. It's also used to make sails, shoes, tents, or comfy director's chairs. It's a full-service fabric!

    The noun canvas comes from the Latin cannabis by way of the Greek kannabis, meaning “hemp,” which it was originally made of. It usually refers to the canvas we paint on, but you could carry a canvas bag while wearing canvas Converse high-tops. Henry David Thoreau, the poet and philosopher, said, “The world is but a canvas to our imaginations.” Don't confuse it with canvass, with the extra “s” — that's when people try to chat to get your vote.
