第五讲   词汇的基本意义和延伸意义

        语言中，任何一个词都有其基本意义和延伸意义。基本意义是指一个词的本来意思； 延伸意义是指该词在特定的上下文中产生的意思。比如wave 这个词的基本意义是“波浪”， 但是当它在句子“The flag is waving in the wind.”中， 它的本来词义就在这个特定的上下文中得到了延伸，从而，它有“飘动”或“飘扬”的意思，这就是它的延伸意义。再比如rank 一词，

          The men marched forward in ranks of fours

           He held the rank of captain.

           This tennis player was at that time ranked third in the world.

         因此，在学习词汇时，我们首先要准确地把握一个词的基本意义，然后在语言实践中要注意扩充这个词的延伸意义。
