关于词汇问题（Vocabu1ary）　　

　　3.利用文章中对词的定义猜测词义

　　Example：

　　Such experiences are not unusual for the amateur conchologists, people who collect shells.Conchologists的意思可以根据该词后面的同位解释"people who collect shells"理解为收集贝壳的人或贝壳收藏家。

　　Example :

　　Jack is now a florist, who keeps a shop for selling flowers in our district."florist"的意思就是其后定语从句"who keeps a shop for selling flowers所描述的"拥有一家专门卖花的商店的人"，即"花店主"

　　4.利用文章中对词的举例及解释猜　测词义

　　Example :

　　Today young couples who are just starting their households of ten spend lots of their money on appliances ,for instance ,washing machines , refrigerators and color TVs.通过所举的例子（washing machines ,refrigerators and color TVs）

　　可以看出，"appliances"应是这些名词的总称，即"家用电器"。

　　

　　Example :

　　Finally the enemy surrendered .They threw down their weapons and walked out of the home with their hands over their heads 通过后一句对"surrendered"的解释：扔掉武器（throw down their weapons）,举起双手（with their hands over heads）可知其意是"投降"5.利用构词法知识（前缀和后缀）猜测词义Example :

　　They overestimate the interviewee's ability and asked him many difficult questions"estimate"是"估计"的意思，"over－"是前缀，意为"过分，过度，超　过"等，因此"overestimate"就是"高估"的意思　。

　　Example :

　　We were told that ours was the most spacious room in the hotel .That was why we had to pay so much for it ."spacious"是由"space(名词，空间)"＋"＋－ious(形容词后缀　"变化而来的，因此，可猜测其词义为"宽敞"。

　　各种各样的前、后缀可以构成名词、形容词、动词、副词等，这些词缀需要平时不断地积累和记忆。掌握构词法知识是扩大词汇量和猜测生词词义的最佳办法。
