一、类属法
　　即通过类属来推测词义。如：
　　Bananas, oranges, pineapples, coconuts and some other kinds of fruit grow in warm areas.
　　说明：从句意我们知道 pineapples 和 coconuts 与 bananas, oranges是同类事物，同属水果(准确地说是“菠萝”和“椰子”)。
　　二、推理法
　　即根据文章的前后语境推出生词的词义。如：
　　That museum is so immense that it will be impossible to see all the exhibits in one day.
　　说明：既然一天之内看不完所有的展品，那么 immense 的意思应该是“很大”了。
　　Everyone agreed that the woman in the photo was gorgeous. It was easy to see why she had won the beauty contest.
　　说明：既然“她在选美比赛中获胜”，说明她“很美丽”(gorgeous)。
