五、根义记忆法 
  利用根义代替记忆多义,可以解决“没有生词”却老读不懂的问题。 
  比如要问immediate(ly)是否已记住,回答当然是肯定的。那么就请看下面三个“没有生词”的片段: 
  a) The woman walks immediately behind the car. 
  b) She is my immediate neighbor. 
  c) the immediate cause 
  若没有读懂,那么就请看immediate(ly)根义 
  中间没有间隔(地) 
  1)(时间)立刻; 
  2)(空间)紧挨,通接,紧跟, 
  3)(关系)直接 
  例题1:He will leave immediately. (2005职称英语用书) 
  A. far away 
  B. right away 
  C. right here 
  D. soon 
  答案:B 
  例题2:Can you follow the plot? (2003年职称英语卫生类C级) 
  A. change 
  B. investigate 
  C. understand 
  D. write 
  答案:C 
  请看下面几句中的follow 分别都是什么意思? 
  She went into the building, followed by a group of students. 
  The teacher says that everybody should follow the rule here. 
  I’m sorry, but I can’t follow you.
