托福聽(tīng)力：一招解決生詞問(wèn)題
(1)在連續(xù)不斷聽(tīng)各種各樣的英語(yǔ)題材中解決疑難問(wèn)題。例如 VOA I980年在播送military junta(南美各國(guó)政變后上臺(tái)的軍政府)中的iunta一詞時(shí)，詞中的j發(fā)h的音。根據(jù)這個(gè)發(fā)音在詞典上查不到，請(qǐng)教別人也得不到答案。 1981年某日的VOA節(jié)目專門(mén)回答了聽(tīng)眾提出的這一個(gè)語(yǔ)音問(wèn)題，才知道是junta這個(gè)詞的一種異讀。
(2)根據(jù)上下文的意思推敲?，F(xiàn)代信息社會(huì)的語(yǔ)言發(fā)展很快，新詞層出不窮，經(jīng)常會(huì)碰到一些詞典里查不著的詞，或者一個(gè)老的詞隨著時(shí)間的推移又有了新的釋義等等。碰到這種情況，除了向別人請(qǐng)教外，只有靠自己獨(dú)立判斷了。所以這種根據(jù)上下文的內(nèi)容判斷新詞的意思(或者詞的新義)的做法不是圖省事，而是為了鍛煉一種對(duì)于英語(yǔ)水平較高的人來(lái)說(shuō)必須具備的猜測(cè)詞義的本領(lǐng)。
例如demagnetize一詞在詞典里只有“去磁、消磁”等解釋，但是在報(bào)導(dǎo)古巴外逃難民去美國(guó)的消息里用了此詞，顯然不會(huì)與，‘去磁、退磁”有關(guān)，但是詞典里沒(méi)有別的解釋。碰到這種情況可以查 “magnetize”的解釋，其中有“吸引”之意，據(jù)此可以推測(cè)出應(yīng)該做 “使失去吸引力”解。
又如1994年8月間在報(bào)導(dǎo)美國(guó)的棒球隊(duì)員罷工時(shí)突然出現(xiàn) salary cap的說(shuō)法，詞典里查不到。但是根據(jù)上下文可以推測(cè)出來(lái)是限制隊(duì)員工資的意思。后來(lái)的消息中又用了The players feared the owners would finally impose a salarv limitation next season 的說(shuō)法，證明推測(cè)是正確的。
美國(guó)郵局的勞動(dòng)強(qiáng)度大，條件差。1991年發(fā)生一郵局工人因勞動(dòng)待遇差又被解雇而槍殺他人的事件。此后就有g(shù)oing postal 的說(shuō)法，表示對(duì)于工作條件和待遇極度不滿。
所以在聽(tīng)懂上下文意思的情況下要敢于發(fā)揮，而不拘泥于詞典里是不是有此解釋。退一步說(shuō)，即使自己的推測(cè)與分析木合適，也沒(méi)有太大關(guān)系，因?yàn)榉凑銖钠渌~典里找不到合適的解釋。何況隨著水平的提高，認(rèn)識(shí)也會(huì)不斷提高，可以找到更貼切的解釋。
