词源记忆法
词源上,so-是前缀se-的变体,指“离开”;-ober原指“醉酒的”,但再往上的词源就不清楚了。这里用联想:so-还是se-的变体,指“离开”,如seclude(隔离),segregate(分离);ber形似单词beer(啤酒);所以字面上,要保持清醒需要远离啤酒。

小知识
This adjective means the opposite of playful or drunk. When attending a funeral, you are expected to be sober in both senses.
The most common meaning of sober is “not drunk” — people who drive need to be sober. Sober sounds a lot like somber, and it often means sad and quiet too, or sometimes too serious. Another meaning is to be logical or realistic about something. Sometimes sober means drab: a grey station wagon is a more sober vehicle than a hot red convertible. All of these meanings are quiet and restrained — unlike a person who has had a lot to drink.
