    • 记忆方法

    词源记忆法
    人们喜爱天鹅，不仅因其洁白如玉的羽翼，也在于它令人动容的忧郁歌声。单词swan可能来自印欧词根*swon-（发出声音），这也是sound（声音）的词源。与之同源的词根son-（声音）颇有所出，如resonance（共鸣）。由于m、n音变有例可循，所以也可将其与swim联想串记。
    谐音记忆法
    还可以谐音：死完，天鹅快死完了。

    小知识

    In “The Ugly Duckling,” a young bird is mistaken for a duck until it grows up to be a beautiful swan. A swan is a large bird with a long, elegant neck.

    You're most likely to see swans in the water, but they also spend some time on land. Baby swans are called cygnets, and as adults, they're either cobs (if male), or pens (if female). If you're lucky enough to see a whole group of swans swimming or flying together, you can call it a bevy of swans. Swan comes from a root meaning “to sing.”
