猜测词义

根据复述猜测词义。复述提供的信息足以使阅读者猜出生词词义。复述部分可以是动词、短语或是从句、同位语。如: Capacitance, or the ability to store electric charge, is one of the most common characteristics of electronic circuits. 由同位语我们很快猜出生词capacitance词义———电容量。
根据一些举例所提供的猜测生词的重要线索来猜测生词。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epochal的大致词义为“重要的”,这与其确切含义“划时代的”十分接近。
