Guessing the Meaning of Unknown Words Through Word Formation
你所掌握的构词法知识也能帮助你猜测生词的词义。比如,在下面的句子中:First of all, successful language learners are independent learners. They do not depend on the book or the teacher; they discover their own way to learn the language. (Unit 8 B, Book 1),假如你认识dependent这个词,却不知道independent的词义,你可以根据前缀in-(“否定、相反”)所表示的意义,猜出independent相当于not dependent。
再比如,对下面句子中划线的词,你也可以根据构词法知识猜出它们的词义:
I set another goal, a reasonable, manageable goal that I could realistically achieve if I worked hard enough.
reasonable: reason + -able n. → a.
manageable: manage + -able n. → a.
realistically: realistic + -ally a. → ad.
