覚え方のコツ Memory Tip
まず原形 quiver をまとまりで覚えるとよいです。意味は「小刻みに震える」で、shake より細かく、tremble に近い感触。hands, lips, voice などが不安・寒さ・緊張でかすかに震える場面でよく出ます。quivered はその過去形なので「震えていた／震えた」と取りやすいです。quivering も同じ核。なお quiver には「矢筒」の名詞もあるので、文脈で見分けるのがコツです。
Learn the base verb `quiver` first. It means a small, fine shaking, softer and more delicate than `shake`, and close to `tremble`. Then `quivered` is simply the past form, often used with words like `lips`, `hands`, or `voice`.
