记忆方法：1. furnace => from fornus "oven of arched or domed shape". => fornicate.
2. originally "arch, vaulted chamber" (Roman prostitutes commonly solicited from under the arches of certain buildings).
3. Strictly, "voluntary sex between an unmarried man and an unmarried woman;" extended in the Bible to adultery.
4. porn => forn- + -icate => fornicate.
5. porn => fornicate, 毕竟通奸、私通、非法性交多少和色情有些关系吧！
