助记提示
1. 谐音“疏哦、疏尔、馊哦”-----疏导污水哦、疏导馊水哦。
2. ewer => sewer.
3. ex- => es- => s- + ewer (大口水壶, 其本义就是“水”) => sewer "removal of water, something that makes water out".
4. 由此可以看出，ewer 与 sewer 是同源词，他们都源于拉丁语 aqua "water" (aquaria, fem. of aquarius "pertaining to water")，只是在进入法语后，在漫长的演化过程，被改得面目全非，最终就变成了今天的样子，而英语就是从法语中引入的，如果英语直接从拉丁语中引入的话，就应该是这样的：ewer => aquary, sewer => exaquary.
