记忆方法: 1）首字母EAEESE安逸，剩下的EE想成双眼，眼中只有安逸<==应该避免 "避"中"辟"表示"君主或法律"，如"复辟”, 加上走之表示"遇到君主或根据法律应避讳或回避"，所以避的本意是"躲开"或"回身"，如避让逃避避雨避风头避而不谈；引申为"防止"，如避免避雷针避孕 "免"古文中与"兔"互训，是兔的形容词，表示"如兔子一般逃开，幸免于难" <广雅>: "免，脱也"，引申为去除禁止不受影响，如免冠免职闲人免进免疫免费
2）练习一下
3）避免的意思是躲开某物mean to get away or keep away from something.首字母EAEESE安逸，剩下的EE想成双眼，眼中只有安逸<==应该避免
