COLLOCATIVE MEANING CONSISTS OF THE ASSOCIATIONS A WORD ACQUIRES IN ITS COLLOCATION. IN OTHER WORDS, IT IS THAT PART OF THE WORD-MEANING SUGGESTED BY THE WORDS BEFORE OR AFTER THE WORD IN DISCUSSION.
【题目解析】：本题考查关联意义分类中的搭配意义。 关联意义是指一个词在搭配（collocation）中所获得的关联意义（associations）。换句话说，它是所讨论单词前后的单词所暗示（suggest）的词义（the word-meaning）的一部分。
