Last week scientists from the University of Manchester revealed that loud music stimulates a part of the inner ear called the sacculus, which is connected to the hypothalamus, the brains pleasure centre.
虽然初看到sacculus 不明白其意义,但通过解释至少知道是内耳的一个部分,对于解题已经清除了障碍。
如果生词是句子或段落所解释的定义,理解句子或段落本身就是推断词义。例如: anthropology is the scientific study of man. 由定义可知,anthropology就是研究人类的科学。
In slang the term jam constitutes a state of being in which a person finds himself or herself in a difficult situation.
同样,从上下文的定义可知jam一词在俚语中的意思是困境。 定义句的谓语动词多为:be, mean, deal with, be considered, to be, refer to, be called, be known as, define, represent, signify, constitute等。
2、根据复述猜测词义
虽然复述不如定义那样严谨、详细,但是提供的信息足以使阅读者猜出生词词义。复述部分可以是词、短语或是从句。
同位语 Semantics, the study of the meaning of words, is necessary if you are to speak and read intelligently.
此例逗号中短语意为对词意义进行研究的学科。该短语与前面生词semantics是同位关系,因此我们不难猜出semantics指语义学。
