Guessing the meaning of a word by its formation
通过其构成猜测一个单词的意思
When we read and come across new words, we can sometimes guess their meanings by the way they are formed.
当我们阅读遇到新单词时，有时我们可以通过它们的构成方式来猜测它们的意思。
Sometimes a suffix changes a word's part of speech, but the meaning remains almost the same.
有时一个后缀改变的是一个单词的语音部分，但是其意思几乎保持不变。
Thus, if you know the meaning of the root word, you can guess the meaning of the word, eg.illness, achievement, energetic, dangerous.
因此，如果你知道词根的意思，你就可以猜出单词的意思，例如：疾病，成就，精力充沛的，危险的。
Sometimes a prefix or a suffix changes the meaning of a word, e.g. incorrect, dislike, unlucky, homeless.
有时前缀或后缀改变的是一个单词的意思，例如：不正确的，不喜欢，不幸的，无家可归的。
Sometimes two words come together to form a compound word, such as blackboard.
有时两个单词合并在一起可以形成一个复合词，例如黑板。
Some compounds have a hyphen (-), such as hard-working.
有些合成词有一个连字符（—），例如勤劳的。
