七、同位法
同位語是對(duì)所修飾詞語的進(jìn)一步說明和解釋,若對(duì)所修飾的詞語不熟悉,可通過其后同位語的“說明或解釋”來確定其詞義。如:
■His father is an expert in phonetics, the study of the sounds of language.
說明:同位語 the study of the sounds of language 表示 phonetics 的意思應(yīng)該是“語音學(xué)”。
■Jean was born with spina bifida, a birth illness that damages the spine(脊骨).
說明:同位語 a birth illness that damages the spine 表明了spina bifida 是一種病,一種對(duì)脊骨有損害的病。
