雅思阅读根据定义进行生词猜想例如: anthropology is the scientific study of man
由定义可知,anthropology 就是讨论人类的科学
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
根据复述猜想词义 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讨论的学科
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 c
