记忆方法
记忆“only”可以通过将其分解为“o”和“nly”。想象一个小孩（child，首字母为“c”，与“o”谐音）只（only）有一本书（book，其中“only”中的“nly”类似于“book”的“ook”），强调了唯一性或仅有之意。这种方法通过视觉联想帮助记忆。

英语词源
- only
-
only: [OE] Only is a compound formed in the Old English period from ān, ancestor of modern English one, and -lic ‘-ly’. It originally meant ‘solitary’ as well as ‘unique’, but this sense has been taken over by the related lonely. Only preserves the early diphthongal pronunciation which its source one has lost.
=> lonely, one - only (adj.)
- Old English ænlic, anlic "only, unique, solitary," literally "one-like," from an "one" (see one) + -lic "-like" (see -ly (1)). Use as an adverb and conjunction developed in Middle English. Distinction of only and alone (now usually in reference to emotional states) is unusual; in many languages the same word serves for both. German also has a distinction in allein/einzig. Phrase only-begotten (mid-15c.) is biblical, translating Latin unigenitus, Greek monogenes. The Old English form was ancenned.
