记忆方法
简单说：这个单词的thea的发音=see=看的意思，电影院放电影，核心就是：看。
根据声音变化法则：th=s,ea=ee，所以thea=see.
这个词最初来自希腊语的thea，意思是“看”；以后变作theaomai，意思是“观看”；进而变成theatron，意思是“观看（节目）的地方”。进入拉丁语后变为theatrum；进入中古英语后变成theatre.现在，美国英语中写作theater；英国英语仍保留着theatre的写法。
谐音：四爷特
联想：四爷特爱去戏院看戏剧。

小知识
If you are sitting in a crowd of people watching actors on a stage, you're probably in a theater. If the performance is projected on a large screen, you're in a movie theater.
The Greek word for theater (theatron) comes from the verb theasthai, meaning “behold.” You are likely to behold a play or a film inside a theater. If you've dedicated your life to theater, you are probably an actor, director or playwright. Remember when you yelled “fire!” in a crowded theater and got arrested? That wasn't funny.
