一、同义词猜词
很多时候,单词的意思我们可以通过找到其意思相同或者类似的单词来进行解释。
常见标志词:like,the same as, similar to, means, refer to, that is to say, namely equal to...
Just like his taciturn father, Jon rarely saysanything at family gatherings.
我们这里可以看出taciturn的词义和rarely saysanything类似。我们可能对rarely这个单词不太熟悉或者不是很肯定其意思,但是我们仔细一看发现rarelysays anything, anything出卖了rarely这个单词。只阅读,不理解,我们虽然不知道rarely的具体意思,但是我们知道,一般来说,anything用在表示否定的句子中,所以rarelysays anything, 很有可能指的是很少说话,所以taciturn的意思是沉默寡言,话少的。
PS: 平常经常提到的rarespecies, 意思是指珍稀物种,所以rare这个单词指的是稀少的、稀有的。比如资源变得稀少,我们可以写成thenatural resources are increasingly becoming rare.
二、标点符号猜词
某些表示解释性质的标点符号也可以作为猜词的一个关键点。
常见标点符号:-- :
George is a scrooge: he thinks only of money andwill not spend a penny on anything he can get free.
我们根据解释型的标点符号冒号后面的内容来大致猜测scrooge的词义。他想到的只有钱,只要能够免费获得,就绝不多花一个子儿!这种人除了吝啬鬼、守财奴还有谁!不过,大家如果看过狄更斯的A Christmas Carol这本书,应该知道其中的主人公的名字就是Scrooge, 他每天最大的乐趣就是关起房门,点上蜡烛,把他多年积攒的金币一个个地数,数完了重新再数。他没有朋友,不要亲人,只要金钱,是一个不折不扣的守财奴啊! 不过也得佩服这位英国的文学大师,起的名字倒是贴切至极!
三、同位语猜词
同位语在语法上,一般是插入到句子中间,解释或者补充句子的某个部分。
常见形式: , , 或者其他形式的插入语,如, --- ---
Ethics--thestandard of deeds and moral codes accepted by the society--has a powerfuleffect on modem business communication.
我们可以根据插入语,同位语大致地猜测出,ethics指的是行为准则和道德标准。其实在很多行业中经常会碰到这个单词,比如businessethics指的就是商业道德的意思。
