记忆方法
将“gawky”想象成一个不自然、笨拙地模仿别人姿态的人，因为“gawk”本身就是“呆望、愣看”的意思，而“ky”可以用来模拟其笨拙不协调的样子。这样，通过视觉形象和字尾“ky”的不协调感，可以帮助记忆“gawky”的意思为笨拙或生硬。

英语词源
- gawky (adj.)
- "awkward, ungainly," 1759, from gawk hand "left hand" (1703), perhaps a contraction of gaulick, thus "gaulish hand," derogatory slang that could have originated during some period of strained Anglo-French relations, i.e. most of recorded history. Liberman considers it belongs to the group that includes gawk (v.). Related: Gawkily.
