十、同义词的替代关系 例句：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 didnt want to jeopardize his future. 为避免重复使用endanger一词， 用同义词jeopardize来替代它, 我们推知jeopardize词义为使陷入危险，危及，危害。 十一、利用主系表结构来猜词 主系表结构的句子有两种功能：一是说明主语的形状和特征；二是主语和表语是同位关系。 例一：To malign is to slander an innocent person. 表语意为诽谤无辜的人， 那样主语就是中伤，诽谤的意思。 例二：Insomnia is the inability of falling asleep or sleeping restlessly. 表语意为睡不着，主语Insomnia无疑就是失眠了。 十二、生活常识 根据日常生活中的常识和相关的背景知识，大胆想象，合理发挥，推测出生词的含义。 例一：Warm-blooded desert animals, such as rats and mice, rest during the day, often staying in cool underground burrows. 根据常识我们知道鼠类一般藏在洞里，因此生词burrows的意思为地洞，洞穴。 例二：The snake slithered through the grass. |
