记忆方法
记忆“patch”的方法是将其分解为“pa”和“ch”。想象一幅画面：一个“p”（字母“p”可以想象为一块小拼图）掉在地上，而“ch”（类似于“cheese”的“ch”音）就像是一块奶酪形状的补丁，试图修补这块小拼图。这样，“patch”就可以形象地理解为“补丁”或“小块修补”。

英语词源
- patch

patch: see piece
- patch (v.)
- mid-15c., from patch (n.1). Electronics sense of "to connect temporarily" is attested from 1923. Related: Patched; patching.
- patch (n.1)
- "piece of cloth used to mend another material," late 14c., of obscure origin, perhaps a variant of pece, pieche, from Old North French pieche (see piece (n.)), or from an unrecorded Old English word (but Old English had claðflyhte "a patch"). Phrase not a patch on "nowhere near as good as" is from 1860.
- patch (n.2)
- "fool, clown," 1540s, perhaps from Italian pazzo "fool," of unknown origin. Possibly from Old High German barzjan "to rave" [Klein]. But Buck says pazzo is originally euphemistic, and from Latin patiens "suffering," in medical use, "the patient." Form perhaps influenced by folk etymology derivation from patch (n.1), on notion of a fool's patched garb.
