Often in your reading, you will come across ( 遇见) a difficult new word. You may be able to read the word, but you still do not know what it means.
在阅读过程中，你经常会遇到生僻难懂的词汇。或许你能读出这个单词，却仍不理解其含义。

One way to discover a word's meaning is by looking it up in a dictionary. Another way is to use context(上下文). You can think of the context as the " neighbourhood" in which the word “lives".
查明词义的一种方法是查阅词典，另一种方法是利用上下文。你可以将上下文视为单词所在的"语言环境"。

A word is never alone. It appears in a sentence with other words and other sentences that come before and after it. These words and sentences are the context of the unknown word.
单词永远不会孤立存在，它总是与其他词语共同出现在句子中，前后还有别的句子。这些词语和句子就构成了生词的上下文。

A word’s context often contains clues (包含提示) to its meaning. To find clues, think about the meanings of the other words in the sentence.
单词的上下文往往包含着词义的线索。要发现这些线索，需要思考句中其他词语的含义。

Look at the sentences that come before and after the sentence that contains the word. Do they give you any clues? Sometimes a writer gives an example that can help you understand the word's meaning.
观察包含生词句子的前后文句，它们是否提供了线索？有时作者会通过举例帮助你理解词义。

Sometimes you may find a word that has almost the same meaning or a word that means the opposite or even a definition(释义)of the unfamiliar word , in the same sentence or a nearby one. These are all context clues.
偶尔你会在同一句或邻近句中找到近义词、反义词，甚至是对该生词的定义。这些都是上下文线索。

Read the following sentence. Can you guess from the context what word might fit in the blank?
阅读以下句子，你能通过上下文猜出空白处应填什么词吗？

We had our picnic in the shade( 阴凉处)of a huge tree.
"我们在巨大树木的阴凉处野餐。"

Do you guess the missing word from the context? If you do, you are able to tell from the other words in the sentence that the missing word must be a noun.
你是否通过上下文猜出了缺失的词？如果猜对了，说明你能根据句中其他词语判断缺失词必定是名词。

You can also tell that the word means something that can give shade outdoors. It is something that people might have a picnic under.
你还能推断出这个词指代的是能在户外提供阴凉的事物，是人们可以在其下方野餐的物体。所有这些上下文线索都能帮助你理解词义。

All these context clues help you know the word.
所有这些上下文线索都能帮助你理解这个词。
