　　遇见生词怎么办？

　　在阅读中经常会遇到一些不认识的词。一般来说，一部分生词不影响对全文的理解，但如果是影响理解的词，就需要弄明白。我们可以采取以下办法：

　　1. 根据解释

　　This includes poultry for main course（e.g. chicken， turkey， duck， goose）salad， bread and vegetables， and features of variety of desserts， for example， pie， puddings and ice cream.

　　生词可以根据文中的解释判断出它的含义。chicken， turkey， duck， goose都是禽类，因此“poultry”的意思是：家禽。pie， puddings and ice cream都是甜点一类的食品，我们就不难猜出desserts意为：甜点。
