    词源记忆法
    通过脚印来追踪罪犯、勘探罪案的做法早已有之。英语单词investigate的词源就体现了古代这种查案手法。它源自拉丁文investigare,其中in=into,表示“循着”,vestigare源自vestigium(脚印、痕迹),表示“跟踪”,所以investigate的字面意思就是“循着脚印跟踪、探究”。英语单词vestige(遗迹)同样源自拉丁文vestigium(脚印、痕迹)。

    小知识

    To investigate is to look into something systematically. If you don't understand how tornadoes work, for example, investigate the forces of wind and find out.

    Investigate still acts a lot like the word it comes from, investigationem meaning “a searching into,” which came from the Latin for “to track a footprint.” It's exactly what you do when you investigate. You can investigate in the name of science, which is to look into something systematically, like when you research how tornadoes work. If you investigate a person, you find out everything you can — and you might need to hire a private eye for help.
