词源记忆法
humble卑微的，谦逊的来自古法语humble，卑微的，来自拉丁语humilis，尘土一样的，来自humus，土，尘土，词源同humus.引申词义卑微的，谦逊的。习语to eat humble pie，赔礼，道歉，来自umbles，动物内脏，词源同loin,lumbar.动物内脏在过去属于下等食品，是给仆人或奴仆等下等人吃的，因而引申该词义，同时，由于umbles对大多数人来说都属于陌生词，词义又恰好与humble吻合，因此，拼写最终被humble所代替。插入字母b，比较number,numerate.humble低下的，卑贱的；谦卑的，恭顺的词根词缀-hum-卑下+-ble折→折向地面，面朝地humble低下的；谦恭的，谦卑的词根hum表示“泥土”，如同根词exhume（掘出）等；词根ble表“翻折”，如同根词double（两倍的）等；所以这个单词的字面义是“向下折，贴近泥土”，不难理解出其中蕴含的“低下、谦恭”的姿态来。
