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。
三、利用文中说明词义的同位词或定语等猜测词义例五: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。
例六: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。
例七: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。
四、利用文章中所出现的、与某生词或词组意思相反的内容,猜测词义例八: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。
