词源词根法
来自PIE*sker，转，弯，围，词源同ring，curve.它和curve（曲线）都来自拉丁语curvare（使弯曲）。“勒马绳”和“弯曲”有何关系呢？在马前进时，马脖子向前挺直，你要左转，得用绳子将马脖子拽向左边，即向左弯曲；让马停下得往后拽绳，使脖子向后弯曲。b、v音变weave（编织）—web（网）。

小知识
The hard thing about learning how to parallel park is trying to get the car close enough to the curb without hitting it. A curb is the edge of the sidewalk beside the road.
When you're using the word curb as a noun, it's the raised edging beside a street. When curb is a verb, it means to restrain or hold back, like when you curb your impulse to laugh while watching a badly acted play. Curb comes from the Latin word for “curve,” curvus, which describes the shape of a restraining strap on a horse's head — in the fifteenth century, this band was called a curb.
