记忆方法: 1)首字母ITIAU想成tuiai忒爱(忒是河北方言,相当于"特")<==工具 "器"是会意字,说文: "众器之口,犬所以守之"。四"口"表示众器物的口,或表示狗在大叫,即"犬"守护着,以防丢失。本义就是"器具"。段玉裁说"器乃凡器统称”是对的。不同质地、不同用途的器具都可称为"器",如木器金器陶器食器酒器电器兵器器械等。器的本义延用至今,古今写法也变化不大。另外,引申为1、生物体具有独立生理机能的部分,如器官消化器脏器 2、度量、才华,如器宇器量成器大器晚成器欲难量,器重。 "具"表示把货物放在一起,"具,共置也。从廾、从贝省。古以贝为货",本义是器物,如器具家具工具用具,引申为 1、"有",如具有具备别具一格具体 2、"准备"如具名出具故人具鸡黍具膳餐饭
2) 练习一下
3)工具的意思是简单装置(器具)mean a relatively simple device for performing work.首字母ITIAU想成tuiai忒爱(忒是河北方言,相当于"特")<==工具 (device装置、器具,特别是机械电子装置,可大可小,小到移动电话,大到一坐雷达an object that has been invented for a particular purpose, especially a mechanical or electronic contrivance,如a measuring device测量装置,如mobile device移动设备(装备),safety device安全装置)
