词源词根法
词源记忆法:斯拉夫人(Slav)属于欧罗巴人种,分成三大支系东斯拉夫人包括生活在东欧的俄罗斯人、乌克兰人、白俄罗斯人;西斯拉夫人包括生活在中欧的波兰人、捷克人、斯洛伐克人等;南斯拉夫人包括生活在巴尔干半岛的塞尔维亚人、克罗地亚人、斯洛文尼亚人等。在历史上,斯拉夫人经常受到其他民族的征服。公元950年,东法兰克王国国王奥托一世入侵斯拉夫,迫使波希米亚公爵波列斯拉夫一世称臣。从此以后,斯拉夫人长期遭受异族统治,大量斯拉夫人被卖为奴隶,以至原本表示“斯拉夫人”的拉丁语Sclavus变成了“奴隶”的代名词。英语单词slave(奴隶)就来自拉丁语sclavus,词义上已经与“斯拉夫人”无关,但我们从拼写上依然能看出它们之间的渊源。

小知识
Someone who is forcibly held in servitude is called a slave. The practice of owning slaves is immoral and detestable.
Throughout history there have been slaves, and in some parts of the world some people still force others into slavery. Often the word is used more loosely. You might buy a lot of clothes because you're a slave to the latest fashion trends. You could spend all day in the kitchen, preparing 12 casseroles, working like a slave. That kind of exaggeration is common, but don't kid yourself: nothing is really similar to — or as horrible as — being a slave.
