Abstract

      With the development of science and technology, more and more words appear to express new concepts, but not every concept has its own word. Therefore, many common words are used to express some new concepts, then a common word has its special meaning due to the place where it is used, namely contextual meaning. As for context, it is the environment that the word is used; what is more, it often determines the exact meaning of words. As an English language learner, one should not only understand the words, but also make use of them flexibly. In this paper, the author divides context into four parts: figures of speech, culture, technical area and humor. Since metonymy, metaphor and allusion are main parts of figures of speech, so the author analyzed them in detail, while the effects of culture on the contextual meaning consists of the effects of idioms on it and the effects of culture of different nations on it. What is more, detailed introduction is obtained for adopting for adopting of many examples. The analysis on contextual meaning of English words is able to provide a clue for understanding the meaning of English words used in some special context rightly as well as to avoid embarrassment caused by interpreting a word literally.

摘　 要

     隨著科技的發(fā)展，英語中越來越多的新詞用于表達(dá)一個(gè)新的概念，但并非每一個(gè)新的概念的出現(xiàn)都伴隨一個(gè)新詞的出現(xiàn)。因此很多普通詞也用于表達(dá)某個(gè)特定的概念，所以英語中單詞就因?yàn)樗�處的位置不同而具有不同的意義，這也就是語境意義。作為一個(gè)英語語言學(xué)習(xí)者，我們不僅僅是為了認(rèn)識(shí)語言，我們還要靈活運(yùn)用這些詞匯。在本文中，作者把英語詞匯語境分為四個(gè)部分：修辭，文化，科技和幽默等。其中修辭主要以比喻，引用和借代為代表分別加以詳細(xì)分析，文化語境主要以諺語和不同國家的文化為代表加以分析。值得一提的是文中采用多個(gè)例句進(jìn)行說明能讓我們得到詳細(xì)的介紹。通過文章我們可以深入了解各種語境對(duì)英語詞匯意義的影響，這對(duì)我們以后的準(zhǔn)確理解英語詞匯在句中的意義提供線索，也避免了由于望文生義而引起的尷尬。
