词义的选择 英汉两种语言都有一词多类、一词多义的现象。 一词多类就是指一个词往往属于几个词类，具有几个不同的意思。 一词多义就是说同一个词在同一个词类中，又往往有几个不同的词义。 根据词类选择词义 1 An electron is an extremely small corpuscle with negative charge which rounds about the nucleus of an atom. 电子是绕着原子核转动带有负电荷的极其微小的粒子。（动词） 2 The earth goes round the sun. 地球环绕太阳运行。（介词） 3 Round surface reflector is a key unit for the solar energy device. 弯曲面反射器是太阳能装置的关键元件。（形容词） 4 The tree measures forty inches round. 这棵树树围40英寸。（副词） 5 This is the whole round of knowledge. 这就是全部的知识范围。（名词） 根据上下文选择词义 1 Our work today is to work out the design. 我们今天的工作是把设计做出来。 2 To move something is to do work. 移动物体就是作功。 3 We like his works very much. 我们非常喜欢他的著作。 4 The building of these giant iron and steel works will greatly accelerate the development of the iron and steel industry of our country. 这些大型钢铁厂的建立会大大地加速我国钢铁工业的发展。 5 The works of these watches and clocks are all home-produced. 这些钟表里的机件全部都是国产的。 试译下列各句，注意根据上下文确定划线词的词义： When sunlight falls on the leaves of plants, it is transformed into chemical energy. There is no physical contact between workpiece and tool. The amount of work is equal to the product of the force by the distance. The thicker the wire, the more freely it will carry current, and the less its resistance. When the pressure gets low, the boiling point becomes low. Key: 当阳光照在植物的叶子上时，就变成化学能。 工件和刀具不直接接触。 功的大小等于力和距离的乘积。 导线越粗，就越容易导电，电阻也就越小。 气压低，沸点就低。 Packaged software is developed to serve the specific needs of one user. Noises may develop in a worn engine. Shorts frequently develop when insulation is worn. Sure enough, 80 percent of the plants developed the disease. Other isolation methods are being developed.
