记忆方法
将“hogshead”与“hog”（猪）和“head”（头）联系起来，想象一头猪的头部被放大，代表了这个容量单位。这样，你就可以将“hogshead”记为一个等于大约63加仑的容量单位，这个名字来源于古代人们将猪头作为量酒的容器。

英语词源
- hogshead (n.)
- "large cask or barrel," late 14c., presumably on some perceived resemblance. The original liquid measure was 63 old wine gallons (by a statute of 1423); later anywhere from 100 to 140 gallons. Borrowed into other Germanic languages, oddly, as ox-head (Dutch okshoofd, German oxhoft, Swedish oxhufvud).
