助記提示
1. hare "野兔"，做動(dòng)詞講是“飛跑”之意，因?yàn)橐巴门艿煤芸欤?hare (v.) 的古義并不是“飛跑”，而是“harry, harass, frighten”，這是源于 harry 或者與 harry 同源，因此可以說(shuō) hare (v.) 是先受 harry 的影響，后受到 hare (n.) 的影響，在這兩個(gè)單詞的影響下就變成了如今的含義，野兔在受到騷擾、驚嚇的情況下肯定會(huì)飛跑逃命的。
2. hare (v.) 今義“飛跑”=> 古義：harry, harass, frighten => har-"harry, harass, frighten": harry (雙寫r加-y), harass.
3. 因此 harry 與 harass 是同源近義詞，都表示騷擾、侵?jǐn)_；使煩惱、苦惱。
