另外一种会以定语从句的形式出现如从句Obesity, which is a medical disorder that affects approximately 20-30% of the population of the United States of America. It is an excessive accumulation of body fat that results from the storage of excess food energy calories in the bodys fat cells. 根据生词obesity后面的非限制性定语从句which is a medical disorder that affects approximately 20-30% of the population of the United States of America. It is an excessive accumulation of body fat that results from the storage of excess food energy calories in the bodys fat cells. 我们可以推断出obesity的含义,即过度肥胖。
三、根据举例猜测词义:
恰当的举例能够提供猜测生词的重要线索,例如The consequences of epochal events such as wars and great scientific discoveries are not confined to a small geographical area as they were in the past. 句中战争和重大科学发现是生词的实例,通过它们我们可以猜出战争,科学发现都是重要的events进而判断epochal的大致词义重要的。这与其确切含义划时代的十分接近。
四、根据上下文的语境关联猜测词义:
例如Computers have been used for most kinds of crime, including fraud theft, larceny, embezzlement, burglary, sabotage, murder and forgery, since the first cases were reported in 1985. 这句话中有许多生词出现,但通过上文的crime和murder一词,我们可以知道这些生词都是与犯罪有关的词。在考试中,就不必费心去考虑它们的具体意思,知道大概类别即可。再如Goran fears only one service in tennis -- Michael Stichs. His toss is always the same: the straight one or the topspin. Sampras has a good serve and Becker too, but Stichs is the toughest to read.在此例中,Goran不难判断是人名。接下来我们发现大多数词是用于网球运动中的一些专门词汇,我们可以不必理会,而主要关注认识的那些词。这样能够大概理解Goran这个人,害怕某种service, 通过上下文大致可得知这是指网球运动中的一个动作。其实,service就是发球的意思。从形容词straight可知Stichs发球的特点,而且他是最难预测的一个。这样一来就可以很好地把握文章内容了。
