考研英语历年真题熟词僻义词汇总结 如果说核心词汇是重点的话，那么熟词僻义，即常见词的非常见意义就是难点。不少同学对于熟词僻义的掌握较差，一个重要原因是不能理解各个词义之间的关系，如本义与引申义之间的关系。一般而言，本义是词的常见义，引申义是词的非常见义。例如，embrace的本义是“拥抱”（=em进入+brace手臂），引申义是“包括，接受”。由“拥抱”的动作可以联想“包括”之义，因为“拥抱”就是将对方“包括”在手臂之内。由“拥抱”的象征意义也可以联想“接受”之义，因为“拥抱”对方，除少数情况外（如被迫与人拥抱），都表示“接受”对方。请看下列例子以巩固对embrace的常见义与非常见义的理解： 1.The two embraced， holding each other tightly.（拥抱） 2.His career embraced many activities——composing， playing and acting.（包括） 3.Much of the population embraced the scientific idea.（接受） 2007考研英语阅读部分的第二篇文章考到embrace的一个近义词，encompass（包括）。知道为何encompass这个词的意思是“包括”吗？encompass=en（进入）+compass（罗盘），意思是（如罗盘般）“包括”。 discipline（纪律；学科）这个词的非常见义也可以通过上述方法联想记忆。“纪律”是discipline的常见义，是不可数名词：“学科”是discipline的非常见义，是可数名词。可以这样联想：现代学科的掌握都需要严格的训练，严格的训练不是正包含“纪律”吗？如论文的格式、引用他人观点的方法等都属于学术训练的“纪律”一类。 这里的熟词僻义是按年总结的，不按字母顺序。有时间一定要过两遍，以增强对常见词的一词多义的掌握，也增强阅读与英译汉两部分的应对能力。 今天的结束语是：Familiarity breeds contempt（熟生蔑；亲近生轻侮）。不过，对于常见词可不要“熟生蔑”，否则吃大亏！ 熟词僻义（1994-2000） embrace包括；接受，信奉；拥抱preferred有优先权的exceptional特殊的；例外的prejudice损害；偏见dormant暂停活动的；潜在的；睡着的serve有作用act法案；（戏剧的）一幕govern适用于，管理term条款，术语；学期personality人物，名人；个性，人格fine细微的secure获得，得到；a.安全的rather恰恰相反；相当knowledge知道；知识aggressive有进取心的，大胆的；侵犯的reasoning推理interpret解释，口译assume 假设，承担，采用mental心理的，精神的，智力的account描述；叙述coverage新闻报道，覆盖launch发起，开展，发射grant授予，同意，准予line思路engage雇用，使参与dictate 命令，口授，听写render使得；给予；翻译discipline训练，学科；纪律acute敏锐的；（病）急性的fair集市，交易会，博览会virtually几乎，实际上authority当局import 意义，重要性，含义；进口，输入implication含义，暗示passage通过；段落otherwise
