七、同位法
同位语是对所修饰词语的进一步说明和解释,若对所修饰的词语不熟悉,可通过其后同位语的“说明或解释”来确定其词义。如:
■His father is an expert in phonetics, the study of the sounds of language.
说明:同位语 the study of the sounds of language 表示 phonetics 的意思应该是“语音学”。
■Jean was born with spina bifida, a birth illness that damages the spine(脊骨).
说明:同位语 a birth illness that damages the spine 表明了spina bifida 是一种病,一种对脊骨有损害的病。
