根據同義詞的替代關係猜測詞義

在句子或段落種，我們可以利用熟悉的詞語，根據語言環境推斷生詞詞義。

例如：

Although he often had the opportunity, Mr. Tritt was neverable to steal money from a customer. This would have endangered his position atthe bank,and he did not want to jeopardize his future.

作者為避免重複使用endanger一詞，用其同義詞jeopardize來替代它，由此推知其詞義為"使。 . .陷入危險，危及、危害"。

Doctors believe that smoking cigarettes is detrimental toyour health. Theyalso regard drinking as harmful.

句中detrimental四個生詞，但判斷出harmful替代detrimental後，不難推斷出其詞義為"不利的，有害的"。
