◆利用构词法
英语中有很多单词是通过一定的构词法生成的,如果我们掌握了一定的英语构词法知识,就可以根据构词法来推测文中生词的含义。例如:
Car rentals (出租)are becoming more and more popular as an inexpensive way of taking to the roads.
解析:句中的斜体词 inexpensive 是由 expensive 派生而来的。 expensive 是形容词,意为昂贵的, in- 是表示否定意义的前缀。因此,我们可以推知 inexpensive 意为便宜的。
◆语境推断法
英语单词的一个特点是一词多义,一个单词在不同的语境中有不同的含义。离开了一定的语言环境,词汇的意义就难以确定。因此很多词的词义可以根据上下文来推测出来。例如:
( NMET 2004 浙江, B 篇 61 题) These days a green building means more than just the color of the paint. Green building can also refer to environmentally friendly houses, actories,and offices. Green building means reducing the impact (影响) of the building on the land ,Taryn Holowka of the U.S. Green Building Council in Washington,D.C., said.
61. In the second paragraph, the underlined words the building most probably refers to ______________.
A. an ordinary building
