覚え方のコツ Memory Tip
refers は refer の三人称単数現在形で、語尾に -s を付けた形です。発音は /rɪˈfɜːrz/ で、最後は「ズ」に近くなります。記事・研究・人など単数の主語と結び、refer to data「データを参照する」、refer to a problem「問題に言及する」の形で覚えましょう。
Refers is the third-person singular present form of refer: add -s when the subject is singular, as in “the article refers” or “she refers.” Its final sound is /z/, not /s/. Learn it with refer to, because this verb normally needs to before the thing mentioned or consulted. Picture an article pointing the reader back to scientific discoveries, or a speaker looking back at her notes. This connects the two main uses: mentioning a subject and consulting a source for information.
例文

その記事は最近の科学的発見を参照しています。
She refers to her notes when speaking.
彼女は話すときにメモを参照します。
The study refers to data from the past decade.
その研究は過去10年のデータを参照しています。

refers の語源・成り立ち Etymology
ラテン語 referre（re- 戻す＋ferre 運ぶ）が語源。「情報を元の場所へ運び戻す」→「参照する・言及する」の意味に発展。関連語: reference（参考文献）、transfer（移す）。何かを原典に「持ち帰って」確認するイメージが核にある。
Refers is formed from refer plus the third-person singular ending -s. Refer entered English through French and Latin referre, built from re-, “back,” and ferre, “to carry.” The underlying image is of carrying something back to a source or directing attention back toward it. From this developed the modern senses “mention,” “direct attention,” and “consult for information.” Reference and referral belong to the same word family.
