例2：Fishes live in water and have fins which help them to swim.Most fishes have slimy skins covered with scales,but in fishes such as eels the scales are very small and can hardly be seen.

　　凭常识我们不难猜出fins,slimy和scales的确切意思分别是“鳍”、“滑溜的”和“鳞”，对于eels一词，我们只需知道是fish的一种（鳝鱼类）就行了。

　　例3：Not wanting to disturb the sleeping kitten,I gingerly lifted her from the box and put her on a blanket near the heater.

　　根据前半句的Not wanting to disturb（不愿打扰），我们便可大致推测出gingerly一词的含义：“小心翼翼地”。
