lock是锁的意思,加上“er”作为后缀,那么一般来说就是指人了,比如:上锁的人,制锁的人。但是这次不是这样,单词还是表示名词和锁还是有联系,但是不是指人。先猜一下词义,然后再查词典,意外可以让我们更容易的记住单词。
例句:
Apple's iCloud is not just a storage locker for music.
Read the word and guess the meaning, today's word: locker
Lock means "锁", and with "er" as a suffix, it would normally refer to a person, e.g., the person who puts the lock on, the person who makes the lock. But not this time. The word still means a noun and the lock is still related, but it doesn't refer to a person. Please guess the meaning of the word first, and then look it up in the dictionary. The unexpected can help us to remember words more easily.
