、举例和标点符号。1.下定义РРР mean, refer to, is, that is, namely等后的内容往往是对前面进行注解性说明的，能够帮助猜测词义。Р 如：Annealing is a way of making metal softer by heating it and then letting it cool very slowly.Р 分析：本句就是一个由is引发的下定义的句子，is后面的内容对前面生词作了具体注解，故不难猜出anneal是"使（金属）退火"的意思。Р 小试牛刀猜猜下面画线单词的意思Р ①Pantomime refers to a short play in which no words are spoken.Р ②It will be very hard but also very brittle — that is, it will break easily.2.定语从句Р 如：Jack is now a florist, who keeps a shop for selling flowers in our district.Р 分析：非限制性定语从句修饰限定了先行词的内容和范围,所以依据后面的从句可猜测出florist的意思为"花商"。3.同位语Р 同位语是对其前的内容进行解释说明的，因此，同位语也是猜测单词词义的一个好措施。Р 如：Semantics, the study of the meaning of words, is necessary if you are to speak and read intelligently.Р 分析：同位语the study of the meaning of words解释了Semantics的意思，所以可知，semantics的意思是"语义学"。4.自问自答
