记忆方法
1、prove 来自拉丁 probare"检验"，probus 是"好"：验过、确定为"好"，才算证明。一家子：proof（证据、证明，名词形态）、approve（赞成、批准）、probable（很可能的）、probe（探针；追查）。
2、和 approve 别混：prove 证明（prove his theory right）；approve 是赞成或批准（approve of spending money）；差的 a- 正好是"点头"那一下。
3、用法两条：系动词味道——prove (to be) + 形容词（The method proved effective 这办法证明有效）；过去分词 proved/proven 都能用，proven 更常见于正式语。

英语词源
- prove
-
prove: [12] The ultimate source of prove was Latin probus ‘good’. This went back (like the related Sanskrit prabhu- ‘eminent, mighty’) to a prehistoric Indo-European compound *probhwo- ‘being in front’, hence ‘excelling’ (*promeant ‘in front’, and *bhwo- was the ancestor of English be). From it was derived the verb probāre ‘test, approve, prove’, which has given English approve, probable, probe, proof, reprobate, reprove, and of course prove, acquired via Old French prover. Another Latin derivative of probus was probitās ‘honesty’, from which English gets probity [16].
=> approve, probable, probe, proof, reprobate - prove (v.)
- late 12c., pruven, proven "to try, test; evaluate; demonstrate," from Old French prover, pruver "show; convince; put to the test" (11c., Modern French prouver), from Latin probare "to make good; esteem, represent as good; make credible, show, demonstrate; test, inspect; judge by trial" (source also of Spanish probar, Italian probare), from probus "worthy, good, upright, virtuous," from PIE *pro-bhwo- "being in front," from *pro-, extended form of root *per- (1) "forward, through" (see per), + root *bhu- "to be" (cognates: Latin fui "I have been," futurus "about to be;" Old English beon "to be;" see be). Related: Proved; proven; proving.
