    词源记忆法
    在16和17世纪时,在西方戏剧的脚本上,往往有表示提醒演员说话或上场的提示符号Q,Q是拉丁单词quando(=英语中的when)的缩写。后来,这个符号逐渐演变为单词cue,其发音跟Q一样。词义也逐渐扩展,不仅可以用来表示戏剧中的提示,还可以表示任何提示。

    小知识

    A cue is the long stick used for playing pool. A cue is also a reminder or stimulus to do something.

    In pool, you use the cue to hit the white ball into the red ball, aiming for a pocket. Other cues make things happen too. In acting, a lighting change or another actor's line could be a cue for you to enter the stage. During rehearsal, the actors need to learn their cues to make sure their timing is right. A cue can also be a clue or reminder of something. Anytime someone has good timing, they're on cue.
