记忆方法
1、begin 只有一截好拆：be-；后半截 -gin 义为"打开"（确切来历没人说准）——把一件事"打开"就是它的开始，别去凑 gin（杜松子酒）。
2、三态背牢：begin–began–begun；和它同一个模子的还有 sing–sang–sung、ring–rang–rung、drink–drank–drunk，背一组比背一个省。
3、用法：begin to do 和 begin doing 都对；beginner（新手）要双写 n；in the beginning（起初）和 at the beginning of（在…刚开始时）不是一回事。

英语词源
- begin
-
begin: [OE] Begin comes from a prehistoric West Germanic compound verb *biginnan, which also produced German and Dutch beginnen; the origin of the second element, *ginnan, is not known for certain. The form gin was common in the Middle Ages and up until about 1600; this was a shortening, perhaps not so much of begin as of the now obsolete ongin ‘begin’, which was far more widespread than begin in Old English.
- begin (v.)
- Old English beginnan "to begin, attempt, undertake," a rare word beside the more usual form onginnan (class III strong verb; past tense ongann, past participle ongunnen); from bi- (see be-) + West Germanic *ginnan, of obscure meaning and found only in compounds, perhaps "to open, open up" (compare Old High German in-ginnan "to cut open, open up," also "begin, undertake"), with sense evolution from "open" to "begin." Cognates elsewhere in Germanic include Old Frisian biginna "to begin," Middle Dutch beghinnen, Old High German beginnan, German beginnen, Old Frisian bijenna "to begin," Gothic duginnan.
