英语阅读猜词技巧

英语阅读猜词技巧

在英语学习中，我们自然会遇到许多生词。这时，许多人立即翻阅字典，查找词义。其实，这种做法是不科学的。它不但费时费力，而且影响阅读速度。事实上，阅读材料中的每个词与它前后的词语或句子甚至段落有着互相制约的关系。我们可以利用语境（各种已知信息）推测、判断某些生词的词义。

　　猜测词义时，可利用以下线索：

一针对性解释

　　针对性解释是作者为了更好的表达思想，在文章中对一些重要的概念、难懂的术语或词汇等所作的解释。这些解释提供的信息具有明确的针对性，利用它们猜词义比较容易。

　　1．根据定义猜测词义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。复述部分可以适当词、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semanties式同位关系，因此我们不难猜出semanties指“语义学”。

　　在复述中构成同位关系的两部分之间多用逗号连接，有时也使用破折号，冒号，分号，引号，和括号等。

　　 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。

　　需要注意的是：同位语前还常有or, similarly, that is to say, in other words, namely, or other, say i. e. 等副词或短语出现。

　　定语从句 Krabacber suffers from SAD, which is short for seasonal affective disorder, a syndrome characterized by severe seasonal mood swings.

　　根据生词SAD后面定语从句which is short for seasonal affective disorder和同位语a syndrome characterized by severe seasonal mood swings, 我们可以推断出 SAD含义，即“季节性情绪紊乱症”。

　　3.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epochal的大致词义“重要的”，这与其确切含义“划时代的”十分接近。

二内在逻辑关系

　

根据内在逻辑关系推测词义是指运用语言知识分析和判断相关信息之间存在的逻辑关系,然后根据逻辑关系推断生词词义或大致义域。

　　 1．根据对比关系猜测词义在一个句子或段落中，有对两个事物或现象进行对比性的描述，我们可以根据生词或难词的反义词猜测其词义。例如：

　　 Andrew is one of the most supercilious men I know. His brother, in contrast, is quite humble and modest.
　　该例中supercilious对许多人来说可能是个生词，但是句中短语in contrast，（相对照的，相对比的）可以提示我们supercilious和后面词组humble and modest（谦卑又谦虚）是对比关系。分析出这种关系后，我们便能猜出supercilious意为“目空一切的，傲慢的”。

　

　　表示对比关系的词汇和短语主要是unlike，not，but，however，despite，in spite of，in contrast 和while 引导的并列句等。

　　 A good supervisor can recognize instantly the adept workers from the unskilled ones.

　　该句中并未出现上面提到的表示对比关系的词或短语，但是通过上下文可以判断出句子前后是对比关系，即把熟练工人与非熟练工人区分开。这时我们也能够推断出生词 adept的词义，“熟练的”。

　　 2．根据比较关系猜测词义同对比关系相反，比较关系表示意义上的相似关系。

　　例如： Green loves to talk，and his brothers are similarly loquacious.

　　该句中副词similarly表明短语loves to talk与生词loquacious之间的比较关系。以此可以推断出loquacious词义为“健谈的”。表示比较关系的词和短语主要是similarly，like，just as，also等。

　　 3．根据因果关系猜测词义在句子或段落种，若两个事物、现象之间构成因果关系，我们可以根据这种逻辑关系推知生词词义。

　　例如： Tom is considered an autocratic administrator because he makes decisions without seeking the opinions of others.

　　根据原因状语从句的内容，我们可以推断出生词autocratic指“独断专行的”。

　　 There were so many demonstrators in the Red Square that he had to elbow his way through the crowd.

　　此句为结果状语从句，根据从句的描书“许多示威者”，我们便可推知elbow的词意 “挤，挤过”。

　　 4．根据同义词的替代关系猜测词义在句子或段落种，我们可以利用熟悉的词语，根据语言环境推断生词词义。

　　例如： Although he often had the opportunity, Mr. Tritt was never able to steal money from a customer. This would have endangered his position at the bank, and he did not want to jeopardize his future.

　　作者为避免重复使用endanger一词，用其同义词jeopardize来替代它，由此推知其词义为“使. . . 陷入危险，危及、危害”。

　　 Doctors believe that smoking cigarettes is detrimental to your health. They also regard drinking as harmful.

　　句中detrimental四个生词，但判断出harmful替代detrimental后，不难推断出其词义为“不利的，有害的”。

三外部相关因素

外部相关因素是指篇章(句子或段落)以外的其他知识。有时仅靠分析篇章内在逻辑关系无法猜出词义。这时,就需要运用生活经验和普通常识确定词义。

　　例如： Husband：it's really cold out tonight. Wife: Sure it is. My hands are practically numb. How about lighting the furnace?

　　根据生活经验，天气寒冷时，手肯定是“冻僵的，冻得麻木的”。

　　 The snake slithered through the grass.

　　根据有关蛇的生活习性的知识，我们可以推断出slither词义为“爬行”。

　　在猜测词义过程中，除了使用上面提到的一些技巧，我们还可以依靠构词方面的知识，从生词本身猜测词义。

　　 1．根据前缀猜测词义例如： He fell into a ditch and lay there, semiconscious, for a few minutes. 根据词根conscious（清醒的，有意识的），结合前缀semi（半，部分的，不完全的），我们便可猜出semiconscious词义“半清醒的，半昏迷的”。 I'm illiterate about such things. 词根literate意为“有文化修养的，通晓的”，前缀il表示否定，因此illiterate指 “一窍不通，不知道的”。

　　 2．根据后缀猜测词义例如： Insecticide is applied where it is needed. 后缀cide表示“杀者，杀灭剂”，结合大家熟悉的词根insect（昆虫），不难猜出 insecticide意为“杀虫剂”。 Then the vapor may change into droplets. 后缀let表示“小的”，词根drop指“滴，滴状物”。将两个意思结合起来，便可推断出droplet词义“小滴，微滴”。

　　 3．根据复合词的各部分猜测词义例如： Growing economic problems were highlighted by a slowdown in oil output. Hightlight或许是一个生词，但是分析该词结构后，就能推测出其含义。它是由high （高的，强的）和light（光线）两部分组成，合在一起便是“以强光照射，使突出” 的意思。 Bullfight is very popular in Spain. Bull（公牛）和fight（打，搏斗）结合在一起，指一种在西班牙颇为流行的体育运动---斗牛。

　　综上所述，利用各种已知信息推测、判断词义是一项重要的阅读技巧。在实践中，我们可以灵活运用，综合运用上面提到的几种猜测技巧，排除生词的障碍，顺利理解文章的思想内容，提高阅读速度

English reading skills guess word

In English, we naturally encounter many fail. At that time, many people immediately read the dictionary to find out characters. In fact, this is unscientific. It is not only time-consuming, laborious and affect reading speed. In fact, reading materials before and after each word and phrase or sentence which has even paragraphs mutual checks. We can use the speaking context (all known information) projections, the judge some word meanings.

Guess meaning, can use the following clues :

I explained targeted

- To better explain the author expressed ideas in the article to some important concepts, terminology and vocabulary of simple explanation. Information provided by these explanations have a clear focus and use their guess word easier.

1. By definition guess word or sentence if the word is explained in paragraph definition or understanding of the sentence itself paragraphs inferred meanings.

For example :

Anthropology is the scientific study of man.

By definition can, anthropology is the "scientific study of humanity."

In slang the term "jamming" constitutes a state of being in which a person finds himself or communicate in a difficult situation.

Similarly, the definition can jam from the context in slang, the word meant "plight." Definition of the verb-predicate sentence : be, mean, deal with, be considered, to be, accessible to, be called, be known as, define, represent, signify, slavery.

2. According to repeat what is defined as meaning Although repeat stringent and detailed, but the information provided is sufficient to enable those who might be something like reading vocabulary word. Some can repeat appropriate words, phrase or sentence.

Words with spaces Semantics, the study of the meaning of words, is necessary if you are to speak and read intelligently.

This phrase is intended for cases comma, "the meaning of the term research subjects." The phrase with the previous semester semanties type relationship with spaces, so we can easily semanties that might be something like "semantics."

In a repeat of the relationship with the spaces between the use of the comma to connect two parts, sometimes using dash, colon, hours of that quotation mark, and brackets.

Capacitance, or the ability to store electric charge, is one of the most common characteristics of electronic circuits.

We soon might be something like the same place language vocabulary capacitance sense --- call capacity.

Requiring attention are : the former is often with spaces words or, similarly, that is to say, in other words, namely, or other, invariably listened, adverb or phrase appear.

Attributive clause Krabacber suffers from sad, which is renewed for seasonal affective disorder. a ? characterized by severe seasonal mood swings.

According semester sad behind attributive clause which is renewed for seasonal affective disorder and with the words a place characterized by severe seasonal mood swings ?. We can infer sad meaning that the "seasonal mood disorders."

3. According to an appropriate word for guess what word can provide important clues such as :

The consequences of epochal events such as wars and 110-124 scientific discoveries are not confined to a small geographical area as they were in the past.

Sentence "war" and "significant scientific discovery" is the word examples, we can, through their broad sense might be something like epochal "important", with its exact meaning of this "landmark" very close.

2 intrinsic logic relations

　

According to the logic of internal relations guess is that the use of plain language knowledge relevant information analysis and judgement between logic, the logic of relations and then to infer word meanings or roughly meaning domain.

1. In contrast relations on the basis of speculation meaning of a sentence or paragraph, the comparison of two things or phenomena described, we can plead with the word or words to guess their meaning. For example :

Andrew is one of the most supercilious men I know. His child, in contrast, is quite humble and modest.
The cases of supercilious for many people may be a word, but sentence the phrase in contrast (light, compared) can alert us immediately behind supercilious and humble and modest (humble and modest) is contrast. Analysis of this relationship, we might be something like supercilious intended to be "everything, arrogant."

　

That the relationship between terms and phrases mainly unlike,not,but,however,despite,in spite of,in contrast and while the Bingliegou guide.

A good supervisors can recognize instantly the adept workers from the unskilled ones.

The sentence has not been mentioned that the relationship between word or phrase, but can be judged by the context around the sentence is a contrast relationship that the distinction between skilled and unskilled workers. Then we can infer the meaning adept term birth, "skilled".

2. According comparison with the relations between relations guess word on the contrary, the more relationships that sense similar.

For example : Green loves to talk,and his brothers are similarly loquacious.

The sentence adverb phrase loves to talk with similarly shows a comparison between word loquacious relations. This can happen to infer loquacious as "talkative". That the relationship between words and phrases mainly similarly,like,just as,also.

3. According causation guess meaning of the sentence or paragraph, if two things, a causal relationship between phenomena, we can push relations on the basis of this logic that word meanings.

For example : Tom is considered an autocratic ＄ because he makes decisions without seeking the opinions of others.

According to the contents of the reasons clause sentence, we can infer that the birth word autocratic "arbitrariness."

There were so many demonstrators in the Red Square That he Email to elbow his way through the crowd.

Does the result clause to clause, according to the copy book word "many demonstrators," we can push it to elbow term "squeeze, Jiguo."

4. According synonymous with the alternative relations guess meaning of the sentence or paragraph, we can use the familiar phrase, according to language environment inferred word meanings.

For example : replacing the allowance he overlooked opportunity, Mr. Tritt was never able to steal money from a Humphrey. This would have endangered his position at the bank. and he did not want to jeopardize his future.

The author is to avoid repeated use endanger the term used to replace it jeopardize its synonymous, the terms of which she pushed for "making. ... in danger, endanger, endanger ".

Doctors believe that cigar tobaccos is detrimental to your health. Reference also regard drinking as harmful.

Sentence detrimental four word, but judging from harmful alternative detrimental, not deduce the meaning of "negative, harmful."

Three external factors related

External factors refer to the relevant chapter (sentences or paragraphs) other than knowledge. Sometimes analysis chapter alone is not intrinsic logic, might be something like bread. Then, on the need to use life experiences and common sense to determine meaning.

For example : Husband:it 's really cold out tonight. Wife : Sure it is. My Hands are practically numb. How about lighting the furnace?

According life experience, the cold weather, the hand is certainly "frozen stiff, dip numb."

The snake slithered through the root.

According to the snake's living habits of knowledge, we can infer slither meaning "crawling."

Speculation in the process of organizing, in addition to the use of some techniques mentioned above, we can also rely on the knowledge graduate from the word itself guess meaning.

1. According provides guess meanings such as : He fell into a ditch and lay there, semiconscious, for a gray minutes. According root conscious (sober, conscious), in conjunction with prefix semi (semi-part, incomplete), we can semiconscious meaning might be something like "semi-sober, semi-unconscious." I 'm illiterate about such things. Languages literate intended to "cultural accomplishment, proficiency," said the negative prefix il, the illiterate means "do not know, do not know."

2. According followed guess word such as : Insecticide is applied where it is needed. Suffix refers that "kill, destroy agents," and with the familiar root insect (insect), it might be something like insecticide intended to "pesticides." Then the vapor may change into droplets. Followed let that "small" root drop means "drip, drip grains." Would mean combining the two can be deduced droplet meaning "small drip, micro-Ti."

3. Under the terms of composite parts guess meanings such as : Growing economic problems were highlighted by a slowdown in oil output. Hightlight perhaps a word, but the analysis of the term structure, will be able to guess out its meaning. It is the high (high, strong) and light (light) two components, together is a "light exposures to highlight." Bullfight is very popular in Spain . 343-351 (Bulls) and fight (fight, fight) combination that is quite a popular sport in Spain --- bull.

Based on the above, the use of known information speculations and judgments declared to be an important reading skills. In practice, we can make flexible use, the integrated use of the above-mentioned several guess techniques to remove obstacles to fail, smooth understand the ideological content of the text chapters and improve reading speed
