2利用文中的举例
例:
Some artists plan their paintings around geometric forms like squares,
circles and triangles.
如不知道geometric forms的意思,可从文中所列举的三角形,正方形、圆形来猜得其意义为“几何图形”。
Today young couples who are just starting their households often spend lots
of their money on appliances for instance, washing machines, refrigerators and
color televisions.
如不知道appliances的意思,从文中的举例“washing-machines(洗衣机),refrigerator(冰箱),televisions(电视机)”可以猜得该词的意思为“家用电器”。
3利用文中说明词义的同位语或定语等
例:
The invention of snorkel, a long air tube that reaches up to the surface,
has made it possible for submarines(潜艇) to use their diesel engine even when
they are submerged.
句中snorkel一词的意思,可通过其同位语“a long air tube that reaches up to the
surface”来猜得。由此,我们可确定该词义为“通气管”。
例:
The type of meter is called multimeter, which is used to measure
electricity.通过定语从句“which is used to measure
electricity”(用来测量电的),我们可将“multimeter”的词义确定为“万用表”。
例:
They will be on the night shift ― from midnight to 6 a. m. ― next week.
由破折号之间的解释内容,我们可以了解到“night shift”意思为“夜班”。
4利用文章中出现的、与某生词或词组意思相反的
例:
American businessmen expect employees to be punctual. They do not expect
that the workers will come late.
文中be punctual的意思,可理解为“not come late”,即“准时,不迟到”。
例:
Unlike her gregarious sister, Jane is a shy person, who does not like to go
to parties, or to make new friends.
根据文中“unlike……”的意思,可将gregarious理解为与文中“a shy person who does not like to go
to parties, or to make new friends.”相反的意思,即:表示“好交际的”。
5利用文章中不同的话对同一概念的解释
例:
Should the government regulate the cost of resources such as oil and gas?
Some people do not believe that government control is the solution to the
problem of the rising cost of fuel.
文中“regulate”的词义可猜测为与“government control”的意思相近。
例:
One of the predominant concerns today is the future of our natural
resources. This issue is of greatest importance because it is becoming clear to
many people that our present resources will not last forever.
文中“predominant”的词义可猜测为具有与“of greatest importance”相近的意思。
例:
Cleaning up waterways is an enormous task. The job is so large, in fact,
that the government may not be able to save some of the rivers and lakes which
have been polluted.
文中“enormous”的词义可猜测为与“so large”的意思相近。
