    • 记忆方法

    谐音记忆法
    谐音：乏死（很乏味），所以引申为词义：蠢事
    词源记忆法
    词源记忆法：在13、14世纪，在欧洲的教堂仪式中，常在吟诵经文之间插入一些解说或激励人的话语，这些经文中没有、另外插入的话语就被称为farce。该词来自拉丁语farcire，本意是“插入、填充”。宗教戏剧流行后，在表演传统剧目时，演员往往会将当地最近发生的新闻作为素材，插入到戏剧中进行插科打诨。这种用来插科打诨的内容也被称为farce。由于这种farce往往是滑稽可笑的，表演时特别夸张，因此farce就产生了“闹剧、胡闹”的含义。

    小知识

    A farce is a broad satire or comedy, though now it's used to describe something that is supposed to be serious but has turned ridiculous. If a defendant is not treated fairly, his lawyer might say that the trial is a farce.

    As a type of comedy, a farce uses improbable situations, physical humor and silliness to entertain. Spoof films such as “Spaceballs,” a comedy based on the Star Wars movies, are farces. If a real-life event or situation is a farce, it feels this ridiculous. An election is a farce, if the outcome has been determined before the voting begins. And class can feel like a farce if your substitute teacher knows less about the subject than you do.
