Common mistakes

动词 memorise 是及物动词，直接接宾语，不需要介词 of。中文学习者受“记住...的”结构影响，容易误加 of。
I need to remember these words for the exam.I need to memorise these words for the exam.
在需要刻意背诵的语境下，应该用 memorise 表示“熟记”，而 remember 更常表示“想起”或不经意地记住。中文“记住”涵盖两个意思，学习者容易混淆。

organise、realise、recognise、advertise 与 memorise 都有 -ise 拼写，且词尾都读 /aɪz/；但由于重音位置不同，它们并不构成严格押韵。要小心 promise 和 practise，它们也以 -ise 结尾，却都读 /ɪs/，不能按词尾 /aɪz/ 来读。
