一、同义词猜词
很多时候,单词的意思我们可以通过找到其意思相同或者类似的单词来进行解释。
常见标志词:like, the same as, similar to, means, refer to, that is to say, namely equal to...
Just like his taciturn father, Jon rarely says anything at family gatherings.
我们这里可以看出taciturn的词义和rarely says anything类似。我们可能对rarely这个单词不太熟悉或者不是很肯定其意思,但是我们仔细一看发现rarely says anything, anything出卖了rarely这个单词。只阅读,不理解,我们虽然不知道rarely的具体意思,但是我们知道,一般来说,anything用在表示否定的句子中,所以rarely says anything, 很有可能指的是很少说话,所以taciturn的意思是沉默寡言,话少的。
PS: 平常经常提到的rare species, 意思是指珍稀物种,所以rare这个单词指的是稀少的、稀有的。比如资源变得稀少,我们可以写成the natural resources are increasingly becoming rare.
二、标点符号猜词
某些表示解释性质的标点符号也可以作为猜词的一个关键点。
常见标点符号:-- :
George is a scrooge: he thinks only of money and will not spend a penny on anything he can get free.
