Question

reservoir n.水库；储藏；蓄水池；积蓄 (1) 在水库被污染之后,清水便因稀而贵了。(2) 他们打开水库的闸门。(3) 他的心是事实的储藏处。(4) 要探究原因，可以联想一下蓄水池的水，当水坝有裂缝时，水很自然的会先由裂缝流出。(5) 历史是人类经历的总汇。(6) 这个演出真是新秀集萃。 The word reservoir comes from the French réservoir, which further derives from the Old French reserver, meaning "to reserve." Knowing this, it makes sense that the meaning evolved into a place, either man-made or natural, where water is stored or "reserved," usually for distribution for drinking, irrigating, and generating power. Remembering the related word reserve might also help in both the spelling and pronunciation of the word, as reserve is spelled (and pronounced) with "er," the same as "reservoir."
