Use context to understand new words
When you see a word you do not know, do not stop and look it up in a dictionary. If you continue reading, the context will probably help you understand what it means.
n. 語境;背景
利用語境猜測詞義。一、生詞所在句子或段落中出現的其它詞匯的意思；二、文本的主題知識；三、生詞在句子中的語法結構知識。下面看看如何利用語境猜測ruin和brick的詞義。
第二段ruin上下文提取信息：coming to an end, deadly earthquakes, damage, crack, cut across, rivers of dirt, dead, injured, without parents, killed, badly injured。描述了毀滅性的畫面：the large city was destroyed completely，可以猜測ruin“毀壞，破壞”。
第三段brick上文About 75 percent of the city’s factories and buildings, 90 percent of its homes, and all of its hospitals were gone及該詞所在句covered the ground like red autumn leaves, but no wind could blow them away可知，工廠、建筑物、房子、醫院等消失不見了，風沒能吹走的紅色物體遍地都是，可以推測brick “磚，磚塊”。
