例6:Insomnia is the inability of fall asleep or sleep restlessly.
表语的意思是不能入睡或睡不着,那么主语insomnia无疑就是失眠了。
四、利用同位语的功能猜词。
同位语是对中心词的诠释和说明,利用这一点,可以弄清生词的意思。如:
例7:The purpose of the campaign was to catchringers,students who take test for other students.
同位语students who take test for other students(替他人考试)是对ringers?作解释的,
因此ringers(代考者)的意思就不难悟出了。
例8:For several years,scientists have been testing a substance called interferon,a potential wonder drug that is proven to be effective in treating a variety of ailments,including virus infections,bacteria infections,and tumors.
同位语a potential wonder drug...and tumors是解释什么叫interferon的,根据句意说interferon是一种对病毒感染,细菌感染和肿瘤治疗有效的奇药,至少我们会猜出它是 一种罕见的药物,如果对医药比较关心,就可知道它是干扰素。如果善于运用构词知识,把它和interfere(干扰)联系起来考虑,那就更好了。
五、利用定语从句的功能猜词。
定语从句也是修饰和说明中心词的,根据其提供的信息,也不失为一种猜词的好方法。如:
