    词源记忆法
    在中文中，英语单词uniform和livery都译为“制服”，但实际上它们的含义有很大差异。uniform由uni（一致）form（形态）构成，意思是“一样的衣服”。而livery来自法语livree（配给），本意是给家里仆人统一配给的衣服，通常样式一样。现在，livery一般用来表示餐厅服务员、售票员等与古代仆人地位差不多的人所穿的制服，而军人、学生等人所穿的制服则用uniform表示。

    小知识

    A livery is a place that will take care of your horse, for a fee. You will mostly see this use now in historic novels — especially the kind where a cowboy rides into town and stables his horse at the livery.

    The noun livery also refers to a uniform sometimes worn by male servants, like doormen, footmen, and chauffeurs. Your cousin works for a prominent and wealthy family, and he is required to wear the livery of that family when he is on duty. He isn't allowed to say where he works, but he calls his boss, “Your Highness.”
