高中英語語法通過上下文猜測詞義的技巧

[例] Before the main business of a conference begins the chairman usually makes a short preliminary(i. e. introductory)speech,or make a few preliminary remarks. In other words,he says a few things by way of introduction.

閲讀此句時,如果對preliminary speech的意思不是十分清楚,只要接着往下讀,意思就會逐漸明朗起來,or和in other words後面的部分都是對preliminary speech的重述,由此可以推斷出preliminary speech的意思是在開會之前主席所做的一些簡單的介紹,或者説是開場白。

6. 以因果關係為線索猜測詞義

因果關係是一種常見的、行之有效的`、能提供生詞詞義信息的邏輯關係。一定的原因會導致一定的結果;某一結果是由某種原因所引起的,作者在敍述原因的過程中,必然會把詞或句子置於一種因果關係的邏輯之中,這無疑為讀者推斷生詞詞義提供了很好的線索。作者通常會用一些信號詞表示句子之間的因果關係,這些信號詞有:

since,as,because,for,so,thus,consequently,therefore,hence,due to,result in,result from,as a result,for this reason,accordingly,so that, sothat,suchthat

[例] Since I could not afford to purchase the original painting,I bought a replica. An inexperienced eye could not tell the difference.
