garlic
noun
/ˈɡɑːlɪk/ (英式), /ˈɡɑːrlɪk/ (美式)
大蒜
a strong-smelling pungent bulb used as a flavoring in cooking and traditional medicine
Memory Aids:
谐音联想记忆：garlic发音接近“噶哩克”，想象吃了大蒜口气冲，喊着“噶哩克香死你”，发音和含义一下子就对上了
拆分联想记忆：把单词拆成gar+lic，gar可以联想为garden（菜园），lic谐音“粒颗”，菜园里种的一颗颗的就是大蒜，记起来非常简单
场景画面联想：想象吸血鬼电影里主角掏出一把大蒜驱邪的画面，喊一句“Garlic！Stop！”，把单词和大蒜的标志性场景绑定，不容易忘
易混词对比：和giraffe（长颈鹿）对比，两个都是g开头，garlic是大蒜，giraffe是长颈鹿，长颈鹿爱吃叶子不吃大蒜，发音拼写开头一致结尾不同，对比着记不会混

场景画面联想：想象你第一天去公司报到，推开会议室大门，所有人都站起来打招呼，站在最前面和你握手的那个就是公司的chief（主管）
易混词对比：和chef(/ʃef/，厨师)对比，只有一个字母的差别：c-h-i-e-f是主管（多了一个i），c-h-e-f是厨师（少了i），记住"主管多管闲事多了个i，厨师只管炒菜少了个i"就不会混

[Alice] That's what I thought. Wait, does automatic mean it can drive by itself, like the autopilot on planes?
[Bob] No no, automatic just means the transmission shifts gears automatically. Full automatic driving still isn't allowed on most public roads yet.
