词源记忆法
古代欧洲人曾使用芦苇杆制成的“笔”,写在纸莎草做成的纸上。约在公元七世纪出现“翎管笔”,即用天鹅或大雁的翎管做笔。pen一词,在古英语中写作penn,来源于拉丁语的penna,意思是“羽毛、翎管”,即羽毛制成的笔。=现代普遍使用的钢笔诞生于19世纪初。它的发明是一个有趣的故事。据说,一名叫做华特曼的英国人在用传统的羽毛笔签字时,羽毛笔漏水,把合同弄脏了。他回去取新合同时,被竞争对手乘虚而入抢先签署了合同。他深受刺激,决心设计一种更加先进的笔。他利用植物体内的毛细管输送液体的原理,发明了钢笔。=pen[pen]n.笔,钢笔

小知识
A pen is an ink-filled tool that you use for writing or drawing. Doing a crossword puzzle with a pen shows a lot of self confidence, since you can't erase your answers.
Pen is also a verb meaning “to write,” especially when you're writing something of literary value: “She's my favorite writer — I can't wait for her to pen another novel!” Then there's the pen that you keep your pet donkey safely inside (you can also say you pen him in there), and inspired by this “livestock enclosure” meaning there's also the slang for “penitentiary” or “jail.”
