【正确答案】:

COLLOCATIVE MEANING IS THAT PART OF THE WORD MEANING SUGGESTED BY THE WORDS BEFORE OR AFTER THE WORD IN DISCUSSION. FOR EXAMPLE, “PRETTY” AND “HANDSOME” ARE SYNONYMS, WHICH MEAN, “GOOD-LOOKING”. BUT THE USUAL COLLOCATION IS “PRETTY GIRL” AND “HANDSOME BOY”.


【题目解析】:本题考查关联意义分类中的搭配意义。 搭配意义是指一个词在搭配中所获得的关联意义。换句话说,它是所讨论单词前后的单词所暗示的词义的一部分。pretty和handsome都有good-looking的概念意义,但区别在于它们搭配的名词的范围,如pretty girl(漂亮女孩);handsome boy(帅哥)。
