这么告诉你把，不要纠结于那么多意思，在英语当中，是有很多引申意义的。就比如说shake，它就是一种猛烈的摇动、晃动的动作、感觉，握手的时候不就是两个人的右手握在一起拼命抖吗？
你通过了解单词本来的意思，还有努力去引申、联系各个意思当中的关联。
就像汉语，行这个字，有两个音，一个是xing一个是hang，xing，有行走的意思，然后你想想，一群人行走在一条道上，不就有了hang的意味吗？然后，就引申出了hang的意义。
再如英语的pronounce，是发音、发声，也就是开口发出声音来。人说话一般都不会是跟自己说的吧？所以就是想要引起别人的注意，去与之对话，所以就引申出了“引人注目的”的意思。
无论在什么语言当中，只要是一个经常用到的词，很常见的词，可能意思都是千变万化的。
比如说get吧，看起来就像是到达的意思，但之后又引申出了各种各样的意思，什么获得啊、变成啊之类的一大堆。所以，背单词不能死背意思的，不是说不要背，但不要让它就这么死抠在了那些个意思上
这基本上与个人的英语基础有关，语感好些的判断起来较为容易
要结合语义场景
根据句子定。
前后语义和上下文，中文也一样
