记忆方法
扩展:
W w 象水波状,与女人联系在一起的是水,女人一般是柔情似水,所以英语中的“水”是water。又如wash(洗),表示用水(w)冲洗掉灰(ash)。well(井,好)则是为了求水(w)而挖的井,象眼睛(e)一样明亮,要用长竹竿或长绳(ll)放下去取水。过去游牧民族每到一个地方最重要的事是打井(well)求水,挖井出水了,一切就好(well),所以well又转意为“好”。同时w又象是草生长的样子,所以有weed(杂草),而且可进一步引申为弯曲、交叉之意。如write(写)就是弯弯曲曲的象是写出来的字,再进一步引申下去就是错误(wrong),弯曲就可能是走弯路,走错路。

小知识
The liquid that is made up of two parts hydrogen and one part oxygen is water. Water takes up over seventy percent of the earth’s surface. Your body is made of about sixty percent water.
Water can be a noun: it is the colorless, odorless liquid that all living things need to survive. Water can be a verb: as in watering the plants, getting teary, or urinating. When people talk about freezing and boiling, they are usually talking about the temperatures at which water freezes (32? F) and boils (212? F). Humans use water to bathe, cook, make fountains in the backyard, and mix with lemon juice and sugar to make lemonade.
