记忆方法
1、一句话点破：wheat 字面就是"白色的那种谷子"，词根和 white 同一个，说的是磨出来的面粉白。white 和 wheat 一起记，拼写读音都不会再混。
2、搭配：wheat flour 小麦粉、whole wheat 全麦、wheat bread 全麦面包。
3、读音是长音 /wiːt/，white 是 /waɪt/；另外三个 wait /weɪt/ 也别忘了，三个词只差在拼写。

wheat: [OE] Wheat is etymologically the ‘white’ grain. The word comes from prehistoric Germanic *khvaitjaz (source also of German weizen, Dutch weit, Swedish hvete, and Danish hvede), which was derived from a variant of the base *khwīt-, source of English white. It alludes to the ‘white’ flour produced by grinding the grain.
=> white - wheat (n.)
- Old English hwæte "wheat," from Proto-Germanic *hwaitjaz (cognates: Old Saxon hweti, Old Norse hveiti, Norwegian kveite, Old Frisian hwete, Middle Dutch, Dutch weit, Old High German weizzi, German Weizen, Gothic hvaiteis "wheat"), literally "that which is white" (in reference to the grain or the meal), from PIE *kwoid-yo-, suffixed variant form of root *kweid-, *kweit- "to shine" (see white; and compare Welsh gwenith "wheat," related to gwenn "white"). The Old World grain was introduced into New Spain in 1528. Wheaties, the cereal brand name, was patented 1925.
