为了记忆单词“effeminate”,可以采用以下方法:

1. 拆解记忆法:将“effeminate”拆分为“eff-”(表示模仿或类似)和“minate”(与“minate”家族单词如“terminate”联系,意为结束或终结)。想象一个男性模仿女性特征到了过分或极端的程度,导致他的男性特质似乎被“结束”了,即变得女性化。

2. 联想记忆法:创造一个故事或场景,比如“那个男孩模仿得太过分,结果他变得effeminate”,这样将单词与具体情境联系起来,便于记忆。

3. 定义词根法:记住“eff”是“e”(出)和“f”( femin-,女性)的结合,意味着像女性那样,从而联想到“effeminate”意味着男性表现出过度的女性特质。
