记忆方法
1、story 与 history 同源分化：都从拉丁 historia（记事、叙述）来，早年不分家；后来"真实往事"归了 history，story 收拢到"讲出来的故事"，再往后添了"谎话"的婉转义——He is telling stories 他瞎扯呢。
2、楼层义另有一形 storey（英式拼法），同出一个源头——据说旧时建筑立面常排一圈讲故事的彩绘窗，"层"就这么叫开；美式写作 story：a two-story house。
3、与 tale（传说故事）、fable（寓言）、novel（长篇小说）分工：story 泛指、常含情节。That is another story 来话长。拼写 sto-ry，/ˈstɔːri/。

英语词源
- story
-
story: [13] Story comes via Anglo-Norman estorie from Latin historia ‘account of events, narrative, history’ (source also of English history and storey). It originally retained the senses ‘factual account of past events’ and ‘past events in general’, but since the 17th century these have gradually been taken over by history, and the use of story has been concentrated more on ‘fictional narratives’.
=> history, storey - story (n.1)
- "connected account or narration of some happening," c. 1200, originally "narrative of important events or celebrated persons of the past," from Old French estorie, estoire "story, chronicle, history," from Late Latin storia, shortened from Latin historia "history, account, tale, story" (see history). Meaning "recital of true events" first recorded late 14c.; sense of "narrative of fictitious events meant to entertain" is from c. 1500. Not differentiated from history till 1500s. As a euphemism for "a lie" it dates from 1690s. Meaning "newspaper article" is from 1892. Story-line first attested 1941. That's another story "that requires different treatment" is attested from 1818. Story of my life "sad truth" first recorded 1938, from typical title of an autobiography.
- story (n.2)
- "floor of a building," c. 1400, from Anglo-Latin historia "floor of a building" (c. 1200), also "picture," from Latin historia (see history). "Perhaps so called because the front of buildings in the Middle Ages often were decorated with rows of painted windows" [Barnhart].
