    谐音记忆法
    这个单词我想大部分人都认识，也没有很好的记忆法，好不容易想了一个，大家看看有没有参考价值：
    谐音：迫害不死。
    联想：怎么也搞不死他，到底是啥原因？也许（perhaps）是我方法用错了？工具不对？还是（perhaps）说他是神？他不是人？也许（perhaps），……或许（perhaps）我就不应该迫害他。

    小知识

    Perhaps means about the same thing as maybe: things that perhaps could happen might happen, or they might not.

    When someone asks if you want to do something and you say “Perhaps” — you haven't committed. It's another way of saying “I don't know” or “It's possible. Who knows?” People use perhaps when talking about things they aren't sure about, or things they don't want to answer in a decisive way. When a friend says, “Perhaps we'll go to that movie,” don't count on it. He's keeping his options open.
