助記提示

1. 諧音“疏哦、疏爾、餿哦”-----疏導(dǎo)污水哦、疏導(dǎo)餿水哦。
2. ewer => sewer.
3. ex- => es- => s- + ewer (大口水壺, 其本義就是“水”) => sewer "removal of water, something that makes water out".
4. 由此可以看出，ewer 與 sewer 是同源詞，他們都源于拉丁語 aqua "water" (aquaria, fem. of aquarius "pertaining to water")，只是在進入法語后，在漫長的演化過程，被改得面目全非，最終就變成了今天的樣子，而英語就是從法語中引入的，如果英語直接從拉丁語中引入的話，就應(yīng)該是這樣的：ewer => aquary, sewer => exaquary.
