在句子或段落种,我们可以利用熟悉的词语,根据语言环境推断生词词义。

作者为避免重复使用endanger一词,用其同义词jeopardize来替代它,由此推知其词义为使. . . 陷入危险,危及、危害。
【例二】Doctors believe that smoking cigarettes is detrimental to your health. They also regard drinking as harmful.
句中detrimental四个生词,但判断出harmful替代detrimental后,不难推断出其词义为不利的,有害的。

外部相关因素是指篇章以外的其他知识。有时仅靠分析篇章内在逻辑关系无法猜出词义。这时,就需要运用生活经验和普通常识确定词义。
【例一】Husband: its really cold out tonight.
Wife: Sure it is. My hands are practically numb.
