2． 根据比较关系猜测词义
) y+ x5 k8 g& S8 J　　同对比关系相反，比较关系表示意义上的相似关系．
　　例如：Green loves to talk，and his brothers are similarly loquacious.该句中副词similarly表明短语loves to talk与生词loquacious之间的比较关系。以此可以推断出loquacious词义为“健谈的”。
　　表示比较关系的词和短语主要是similarly，like，just as，also等。

3． 根据因果关系猜测词义
　　在句子或段落种，若两个事物、现象之间构成因果关系，我们可以根据这种逻辑关系推知生词词义。
　　例如：Tom is considered an autocratic administrator because he makes decisions without seeking the opinions of others.根据原因状语从句的内容，我们可以推断出生词autocratic指“独断专行的”。
7 e$ h0 I* J5 d9 c) G- ?　　There were so many demonstrators in the Red Square that he had to elbow hisway through the crowd.此句为结果状语从句，根据从句的描书“许多示威者”，我们便可推知elbow的词意“挤，挤过”。

4． 根据同义词的替代关系猜测词义
　　在句子或段落种，我们可以利用熟悉的词语，根据语言环境推断生词词义。
　　例如：Although he often had the opportunity, Mr. Tritt was never able to steal money from a customer. This would have endangered his position at the bank,and he did not want to jeopardize his future. 　　作者为避免重复使用endanger一词，用其同义词jeopardize来替代它，由此推知其词义为“使. . . 陷入危险，危及、危害”。
　　Doctors believe that smoking cigarettes is detrimental to your health. Theyalso regard drinking as harmful. 句中detrimental四个生词，但判断出harmful替代detrimental后，不难推断出其词义为“不利的，有害的”。
