记忆方法
1、ready 的老义特别形象："备好了要上马的马"。它和 ride（骑）同出一个老根 *reidh-"骑"——马鞍马具都上齐，才算 ready。
2、冷知识帮你拼：curry（给马刷毛梳毛；也指咖喱）的后半截就是 ready 的古表亲，本义都是"把马收拾利索"。
3、搭配按考试口径：be ready for sth（准备好某事）、get ready to do（准备去做）、ready-made（现成的、成品的）。介词跟 for，别接 to do 时漏了 get。

英语词源
- ready
-
ready: [12] Ready is a derivative of Old English rǣde ‘ready’, which went back to a prehistoric Germanic *raithjō ‘arranged’, hence ‘prepared’. This also produced German bereit ‘ready’, Dutch gereed ‘ready’, and Swedish reda ‘ready’, and it lies behind the second syllable of curry ‘groom a horse’.
- ready (adj.)
- Old English ræde, geræde "prepared, ready," of a horse, "ready for riding," from Proto-Germanic *garaidijaz "arranged" (cognates: Old Frisian rede "ready," Middle Dutch gereit, Old High German reiti, Middle High German bereite, German bereit, Old Norse greiðr "ready, plain," Gothic garaiþs "ordered, arranged"), from PIE root *reidh- "to ride" (see ride (v.)). Lengthened in Middle English by change of ending. Ready-made first attested early 15c.; ready-to-wear is from 1890.
- ready (v.)
- early 13c., "to administer;" c. 1300, "to take aim;" mid-14c., "to prepare, make ready," from ready (adj.). Related: Readied; readying.
