Do you often read English newspapers or novels? If there’s a new word that you don’t know, what do you do? Do you look it up in the dictionary or guess its meaning?
When we read, sometimes we can guess the meaning of a new word from the context.
Guessing the meaning of a word from the context
If a new word appears in a sentence, the sentence itself might give the meaning of the word. When we look at the words before and after the new word, it is possible to find its meaning.
根据上下文猜测单词的意思
当我们阅读时,有时我们可以从上下文猜出一个新词的意思。
如果一个句子中出现了一个新单词,句子本身可能给出这个单词的意思。当我们在一个新词之前和之后看单词,是有可能找到它的意思的。
The teacher's question was a real riddle, a very difficult question to understand.
In the sentence above, “a very difficult question to understand” explains the meaning of the word riddle.
如果这个句子没有对这个词下定义,首先要设法确定这个词的词性。然后再看一下其他单词在句子中的用法,这可能会为生词的意思提供一些线索。
If the sentence does not define the word, first, try to determine the word's part of speech. Then look at the way other words are used in the sentence, as this might give a clue to the meaning of the new word.
I sat on the green grass watching the white clouds sailing across the azure sky.
In the sentence above, the white clouds sailing across the azure sky.
azure is the colour of the sky—blue.
