记忆方法
1、虾。虾总蜷着身子——名字就来自"弯曲"的老词根。shr- 三个辅音连读，i 发短音 /ɪ/，读 /ʃrɪmp/，和 crimp、limp 一样以 -imp 收尾。
2、口语也指"矮小的人"。shrimp 常作食物：fried shrimp 炸虾，shrimp chips 虾片；动词 shrimping 捕虾。
3、拼写 shr + imp，注意是 sh 开头不是 s，别写成 srimp。近义 prawn（对虾，英式更常用）多指较大的虾。

英语词源
- shrimp
-
shrimp: [14] The shrimp’s name appears to echo its small size. It was probably borrowed from some Low German source, and its possible relatives include Middle Low German schrempen ‘shrink, wrinkle’ and modern German schrumpfen ‘shrivel, shrink’. Its use for a ‘tiny person’ is virtually as old in English as its application to the crustacean, and probably goes right back to its original source.
- shrimp (n.)
- early 14c., "slender, edible marine crustacean," probably from Old Norse skreppa "thin person," from Proto-Germanic *skrimp- (see scrimp). Related to Old English scrimman "to shrink;" the connecting notion is probably "thinness" (compare Danish dialectal skrimpe "thin cattle"). The meaning "puny person" in English is attested from late 14c.; an especially puny one might be a shrimplet (1680s).
- shrimp (v.)
- "fish for shrimp," 1801 (implied in shrimping ), from shrimp (n.). Related: Shrimper (1808).
