「秘笈」閱讀理解被生詞卡住?這幾個猜詞義的技巧你一定要掌握!


1。類屬法


即通過類屬來推測詞義。如:

■ Bananas,oranges, pineapples, coconuts and some other kinds of fruit grow in warm areas.

說明:從句意我們知道pineapples 和coconuts 與bananas, oranges是同類事物,同屬水果(準確地說是“菠蘿”和“椰子”)。


2。推理法


即根據文章的前後語境推出生詞的詞義。如:

■That museum is so immense that it will be impossible to see all the exhibits in oneday.

說明:既然一天之內看不完所有的展品,那麼immense 的意思應該是“很大”了。

■Everyoneagreed that the woman in the photo was gorgeous. It was easy to see why she had won the beauty contest.

說明:既然“她在選美比賽中獲勝”,說明她“很美麗”(gorgeous)。

3。列舉法


即通過對文章所列舉的事物來猜測生詞的詞義。如:

■Children like such creatures as dogs and monkeys.

說明:像 dogs 和 monkeys 之類的“creatures”,顯然creatures的意思應是“動物”。

■In your spare time, you may look through any of these periodicals: Time Magazine, NewsWeek, or The New Worker.

說明:periodical是生詞,但根據其後所列舉的例子,我們可以推測出它的意思可能是“期刊”或“雜誌”。

4。構詞法


即根據前綴、後綴、複合、派生等構詞知識判斷生詞的詞義。如:

■Overwork may cause diseases.

說明:前綴 over- 的意思是“過分的,過量的”,故 overwork的意思應為“工作過度”。

■There was a dissatisfied look in the manager’s eyes.

說明:satisfied的意思是“滿意的”,前綴 dis- 的意思是“不”,故dissatisfied 的意思應該是“不滿意的”。

5。對比法


即根據文章前後的對比關係確定生詞的詞義。如:

■He hadbeen getting better, but during the night his condition deteriorated .

說明:句中的 but 表明deteriorate 應該與get better 的意思相反,即“惡化”。

■In many countries there are two financial extremes, from penury to great wealth.

說明:上文說兩個經濟上的極端,那麼下文中penury 應與great wealth 相對,即表示“貧困”。

■Mrs.Smith is loquacious while her husband is the silent type.

說明:while 表對比,意為“而”,所以loquacious 應是silent 的反義,即“多嘴的”。

■If you agree, draw a circle; and a cross if you dissent.

說明:既然畫圈表示同意,那麼畫叉便是“不同意”(dissent)。

6。同位法


同位語是對所修飾詞語的進一步說明和解釋,若對所修飾的詞語不熟悉,可通過其後同位語的“說明或解釋”來確定其詞義。如:

■His father is an expert in phonetics, the study of the sounds of language.

說明:同位語 thestudy of the sounds of language 表示 phonetics 的意思應該是“語音學”。

■Jean wasborn with spina bifida, a birth illness that damages the spine(脊骨).

說明:同位語 a birthillness that damages the spine 表明了spinabifida 是一種病,一種對脊骨有損害的病。

7。釋義法


即根據文章中所提供的釋義關係來確定生詞的詞義。如:

■They described him as a loon, or a mad man.

說明:句中的or 是對loon的解釋,即loon與a mad man同義,即表示“瘋子”。

■It will be very hard but also very brittle, that is, it will break easily.

說明:句中的 that is 表明 it willbreak easily 是對brittle 的解釋,從而猜測出其意為“脆”。

■The herdsman, who looks after sheep, earns about 500 yuan a year.

說明:定語從句 who looks after sheep 表明herdsman 的詞義為“牧人”。

■There are three kinds of snow. One kind is a fluffy snow that is somewhat dry and feathery?

說明:定語從句 that is somewhat dry and feathery(有點兒幹、像羽毛似的)表明 fluffysnow 的意思可能是“鵝毛大雪”。

8。常識法


即根據普通常識推測生詞的詞義。如:

■It’ssaid that Bill Gates is the most affluent person in the world.

說明:根據常識,BillGates 為世界首富,所以affluent 可能是“富有的”。

■As ascientist, Edison is very famous for his contrivances.

說明:根據常識,Edison為發明大王,他應因“發明”而聞名於世。
