例九:Unlike her gregarious sister, Jane is a shy person, who does not like to go to parties, or to make new friends.根据文中unlike的意思,可将gregarious理解为与文中a shy person who does not like to go to parties, or to make new friends.相反的意思,即:表示好交际的。
五、利用文章中用不同的话对同一概念的解释,猜测词义。
例十:Should the government regulate the cost of resources such as oil and gas? Some people do not believe that government control is the solution to the problem of the rising cost of fuel.文中regulate的词义可猜测为与government control的意思相近。
例十一:One of the predominant concerns today is the future of our natural resources. This issue is of greatest importance because it is becoming clear to many people that our present resources will not last forever.文中predominant的词义可猜测为具有与of greatest importance相近的意思。
例十二:Cleaning up waterways is an enormous task. The job is so large, in fact, that the government may not be able to save some of the rivers and lakes which have been polluted.文中enormous的词义可猜测为与so large的意思相近。
六、利用基本的构词方法,猜测词义。
例十三:They overestimate the interviewees ability and asked him many difficult questions.在overestimate词中over-是前缀,意为过分。因此overestimate的词义可以猜测为过高估计的意思。
