Common mistakes
I need to memorize about these words.I need to memorize these words.
动词 memorize 是及物动词，直接跟宾语，不需要介词 about；中文“记住关于”的直译导致了错误。
I try to remember the poem by heart.I try to memorize the poem by heart.
虽然 remember 和 memorize 都可以翻译为“记住”，但 memorize 特指通过背诵熟记，与 by heart 搭配更合适；remember 通常指从记忆中回想起，不需要刻意背诵。

Pronunciation & Spelling
没有常用词与 memorize 完全押韵（memorize 重音在首音节，读作 /ˈmeməraɪz/）。结尾 -ize 在 organize、recognize、realize 中都读 /aɪz/，但由于重音和元音不同，这些词并不与 memorize 整词押韵。注意拼写相似的 memory、memorial、memoir：memory /ˈmeməri/ 与 memorize 开头相近；memorial /məˈmɔːriəl/ 和 memoir /ˈmemwɑːr/ 的发音与拼写差别很大，勿按拼写误读。
