Mnemonic


[zh-] James Bond is in [1] front of the [-an] pawn shop. He reads his 占 fortune for the day, that says he might get 氵 sprayed lightly with water if he is not careful. As he approaches the pawn shop, the sprinklers suddenly start 氵 spraying gallons of water a second, completely 沾 soaking James Bond and his priceless suit. His 占 fortune was not wrong, though definitely off in terms of intensity.
