    词源记忆法

    公元7世纪时,在英国有一位名叫奥黛丽(Audrey)的公主,为了逃婚而隐居在一座名叫Ely的小岛上。公主在小岛上创建了一家修道院并自任院长。公主年轻时讲究打扮,喜欢在颈部系上名贵的蕾丝装饰物。年老时患上咽喉癌,公主便认为这是上帝对自己年轻时爱慕虚荣的惩罚。公主死后被基督教会封为圣徒,并被当地人封为该岛的保护神。在每年的公主纪念日上,岛上都会有热闹的集市。集市上卖的最多的商品就是妇女所用的各种颈部修饰品,如项链、蕾丝等。小贩们高声叫卖:“St.Andrey’s lace”(圣奥黛丽的蕾丝),最后逐渐演变为tawdry lace。由于公主因为臭美而遭到上帝惩罚,并且小贩们所卖的这种小饰品通常廉价而又俗气,因此tawdry lace就被人用来表示“廉价而又俗丽的东西”,有时候缩略为tawdry。
