1. 根据定义猜测词义
k5 D2 o u* I3 G6 }6 W
) z5 _" @) U; c, P 如果生词是句子或段落所解释的定义,理解句子或段落本身就是推断词义。
- I0 `$ r; ]5 D; z2 _4 C- ?3 U# m$ l, w1 A( k( a
例如: anthropology is the scientific study of man. 由定义可知,anthropology就是“研究人类的科学”。
- Y( u: w/ X! Q$ j# v# C4 e* B; i' ?In slang the term "jam" constitutes a state of being in which a person finds himself or herself in a difficult situation. 同样,从上下文的定义可知jam一词在俚语中的意思是“困境”。 定义句的谓语动词多为:be, mean, deal with, be considered, to be, refer to, be called, be known as, define, represent, signify, constitute等。) l$ B. A& Q" \
4 Z) r ]+ J/ m 2. 根据复述猜测词义1 L; A$ v/ G0 K1 z( s+ }3 g. \
% G$ ~; b: @# R" w* X9 }3 B1 z1 ^ 虽然复述不如定义那样严谨、详细,但是提供的信息足以使阅读者猜出生词词义。 复述部分可以适当词、短语或是从句。
6 o. d4 m4 O0 P$ D b( B. c
8 W7 b5 {. ^% F 同位语 Semantics, the study of the meaning of words, is necessary if you are to speak and read intelligently.
0 r% N' U+ o5 E# l) R6 t1 D$ L7 d* M1 D/ ^
此例逗号中短语意为“对词意义进行研究的学科”。该短语与前面生词semanties式同位关系,因此我们不难猜出semanties指“语义学”。
" r) R( [. q9 ?- i# H' `& L7 T, g3 b, \: G
在复述中构成同位关系的两部分之间多用逗号连接,有时也使用破折号,冒号,分 号,引号,和括号等。6 p8 \/ r0 @4 c; H! Q
3 R; O6 Q8 `& e Capacitance, or the ability to store electric charge, is one of the most common characteristics of electronic circuits.由同位语我们很快猜出生词capacitance词义---电容量。
" W9 s; G6 r: n% O4 z
. N! ?/ U/ g7 {1 A 需要注意的是:同位语前 还常有or, similarly, that is to say, in other words, namely, or other, say i.e. 等副词或短语出现。. u) n( }$ e0 o* _* S) a
) a) m: o \# j" ]
定语从句 Krabacber suffers from SAD, which is short for seasonal affective disorder, a syndrome characterized by severe seasonal mood swings.) ]: [9 \6 R! J- w, L6 j3 n
* ?$ P. W$ D) z/ \8 m/ | 根据生词SAD后面定语从句which is short for seasonal affective disorder和同位语 a syndrome characterized by severe seasonal mood swings, 我们可以推断出 SAD含义,即“季节性情绪紊乱症”。1 i8 q) o6 m9 c7 M
d: R7 t* s$ r/ b' D
3. 根据举例猜测词义% m9 a" Y& f' g) {5 H# T% T: b, ^7 {
, I8 A: \2 [. u E; O! |
恰当的举例能够提供猜测生词的重要线索,例如:: p* j5 r/ S/ d2 J, R0 [
The consequences of epochal events such as wars and great scientific discoveries are not confined to a small geographical area as they were in the past. 句中“战争”和“重大科学发现”是生词的实例,通过它们我们可以猜出epochal的大致词义“重要的”,这与其确切含义“划时代的”十分接近。 |
