    词源记忆法
    这个单词意思实际很多,但都与strike有关,但“中风”怎讲?stroke,表act of striking。回到战乱不断且医疗水平很低的中世纪英国,在战场上被武器“strike”一下,即使是轻伤,也很可能死于伤口感染。外伤肉眼可见,中风呢?无力的人们只能认为中风患者“struck by God”。

    小知识

    It's a stroke of luck, or chance event, to find a terrific parking space on a rainy day, but no one feels lucky when their grandfather has a stroke, a sudden debilitating loss of oxygen to the brain.

    Stroke is a high value word — many meanings, yet rarely misunderstood in context. You can swim a certain stroke (or just doggie paddle), you can stroke a cat's fur, you can figuratively stroke your boss's ego by flattering him, or you can have a stroke of brilliance and solve world hunger. Hopefully you won't suffer a stroke and need hospitalization. Its origin as a medical term goes back to the 1500s when it was shortened from “the Stroke of God's Hand.”
