谐音记忆法
贼喔=抓贼,抓到哪里去?监狱,拘留所呀。所以jail=监狱、拘留所。
词源记忆法:
词源词根法:来自拉丁语caveola,笼子,词源同cage,cave.引申词义监狱。拼写比较nail,rule.源自通俗拉丁语(Vulgar Latin)cavea‘cage’(笼于)的指小形式caveola‘little cage’(小笼子)。它之所以有两种拼写形式jail与gaol是因为它们通过不同的渠道进入英语的,前者取道古法语jra如如,后者则取道诺曼法语gaicde。二百多年前一些英国方言将gaoL的首字母发成/g/,另一些方言则读作/d3/,最后后一种读音战胜了前一种读音,和jail的读音趋同r,但仍保留gaol这一形式日在现代英语中英国英语一般用gaol,而美国英语则多用jail。cage一词亦源于同一拉丁词,故在意义上和jail有密切联系。cage除指“笼了”,和jail-样也可指“牢房”或“监狱”。实际上牢房就好比笼子,汉语就有“牢笼”的说怯。

小知识
A jail is a place where people are confined while they're being punished for a crime. If you end up getting a mug shot and put behind bars, chances are you are In jail.
To arrest someone and put them in a jail cell is to jail them. Jail prisoners are often simply waiting for their trials — they've been charged with a crime, but they haven't yet been found to be guilty (or innocent). Jail was originally spelled gayhol, and in Britain it's also spelled gaol. This can be traced back to the Medieval Latin gabiola, from Late Latin caveola and the Latin cavea, “cage or enclosure.”
