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(xiě)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。
hare 野兔——hair毛發(fā)，頭發(fā)

英文詞源
- hare
- hare: [OE] The hare seems originally to have been named from its colour. The word comes from prehistoric West and North Germanic *khason, which also produced German hase, Dutch haas, and Swedish and Danish hare, and if as has been suggested it is related to Old English hasu ‘grey’ and Latin cascus ‘old’, its underlying meaning would appear to be ‘grey animal’ (just as the bear and the beaver are etymologically the ‘brown animal’, and the herring may be the ‘grey fish’). Harrier ‘dog for hunting hares’ [16] was derived from hare on the model of Old French levrier (French lièvre means ‘hare’, and is related to English leveret ‘young hare’ [15]); it was originally harer, and the present-day form arose from confusion with harrier ‘falcon’ [16], a derivative of the verb harry.
=> harrier, herring, hoar - hare (n.)
- Old English hara "hare," from West Germanic *hasan- (cognates: Old Frisian hasa, Middle Dutch haese, Dutch haas, Old High German haso, German Hase), of uncertain origin; possibly the original sense was "gray" (compare Old English hasu, Old High German hasan "gray"), from PIE *kas- "gray" (cognates: Latin canus "white, gray, gray-haired"). Perhaps cognate with Sanskrit sasah, Afghan soe, Welsh ceinach "hare." Rabbits burrow in the ground; hares do not.
