“Fount”的音标是/faʊnt/,可以联想”foun-”(音似”found”发现)+ “-t”(的),想象发现的来源就是源泉。

“The elderly professor was a fount of wisdom, sharing knowledge that had been passed down through generations. Students flocked to him, knowing he was a fount of information they couldn’t find elsewhere.” (这位老教授是智慧的源泉,分享着世代相传的知识。学生们涌向他,知道他是他们无法在其他地方找到的信息来源。)
