形容词作后置定语的规律

形容词作定语通常要位于所修饰的名词之前,但有时却要位于所修饰的名词之后。主要见于以下情况:

(1) 形容词短语作定语

I know an actor suitable for the part. 我认识一个适合扮演这个角色的演员。

A man so difficult to please must be hard to work with. 一个如此难以取悦的人一定不好共事。

(2) 表语形容词作定语

He spoke like a man afraid. 他说话时像是很害怕似的。

The house ablaze is next door to me. 那家着火的房子就在我隔壁。

(3) 形容词修饰不定代词

I would like to have something interesting to read. 我想找些有趣的东西来读。

Anyone intelligent can do it. 任何有头脑的人都能做这件事。

在以下情况,用作定语的形容词可以后置,也可以前置:

(1) 以-able和-ible结尾的形容词:可置于前有最高级形容词或only等词的名词之后,如:

That is the only solution possible. 那是唯一可行的解决办法。

Please put your idea into the simplest language possible. 请用最简单的语言将你的想法说出来。

(2) 某些成对的形容词

Visitors, old and young, were delighted. 不管老少,所有的参观者都很高兴。

There was a huge cupboard, simple and beautiful. 有一个大食橱,简朴而美观。

(3)形容词enough

There is time enough to take care of everything. 有时间足以料理一切。

We didn’t have time enough to finish the work. 我们当时没有足够的时间完成那件工作

the+adj.的语法特点

1. 复数性

“the+形容词”表示一类具有某种特征或特性的人时,通常表示复数意义,若用作主语,谓语要用复数。如:

The rich get richer and the poor get poorer. 富者愈富,贫者愈贫。

The injured were carried away on stretchers. 用担架把受伤的人抬走了。

The old are more likely to catch cold than the young. 老年人比年轻人更容易感冒。

2. 单数性

“the+形容词”若表示抽象概念,则表示单数意义,用作主语时,谓语要用单数。如:He doesn’t know the right from the wrong. 他不辨是非。

The unknown is always something to be feared. 未知的东西总是一种令人害怕的东西。

The beautiful is not always the good, and the good is not always the true. 美未必是善,善未必是真。

3. 单复性

有个别的“the+形容词”结构既表示单数意义,也表示复数意义,若用作主语,谓语动词

用单数还是复数需视情况而定。如:the good 指“好人”时表复数意义,指“善”时表单数意义;the accused 指一名被告时表单数意义,指多名被告时表复数意义。比较:The accused was acquitted of the charge. 被告被宣告无罪。(指一人)

The accused were acquitted of the charge. 被告均被宣告无罪。(指多人)

4. 习惯性

(1) 有的表达带有一定的习惯性,如“病人”习惯说成the sick,而不说the ill。

(2) 这类结构习惯上不用于-’s 所有格形式,若语义需要,可考虑用of 所有格。如:

正:He is interested in the problems of the poor. 他对穷人的问题感兴趣。

误:He is interested in the poor’s problems.

“the+形容词”结构可以省去冠词吗

“the + 形容词”这类结构中的定冠词通常不能省略,但是以下几种情况是例外:

1. 受数量词语修饰时省略定冠词

即其中的形容词受到表示数量的词以及many, more 等修饰时,定冠词通常省略。如:Many sick are well cared for in hospitals. 许多病人在医院受到良好的照顾。

There are more unemployed than ever before. 现在失业的人比以往任何时候都多。

2. 用于对称结构时省略定冠词

即用and 或or 连接成对称结构时,通常省略定冠词。如:

There are opportunities for both rich and poor. 穷人和富人都有机会。

Good and bad alike admired the baseball heroes. 不分好人和坏人,大家都钦佩那些棒球英雄。

3. 用于并列结构时省略定冠词

对于两个由and 或or 连接成的非对称结构,有时可将后面一个形容词前的定冠词省略(也可以不省略)。如:

It was said that the hospital was full of the sick and (the) wounded. 据说医院里挤满了伤病员。

We carried the dead and (the) wounded off the battlefield. 我们把伤亡者抬出了战场。

4. 个别结构习惯上可省略冠词

在现代英语中,有个别的“the+形容词”结构在单独使用时也可省略冠词。如:

The number of unemployed is rising all the time. 失业人数在不断上升。

多个形容词做定语时的排列顺序

有时,一个名词前出现有多个形容词作定语,这时,它们的顺序一般须根据它们与被修饰的中心词之间关系的密切程度而定。在通常情况下,它们的顺序为大致遵循以下原则:描绘形容词—大小(长短高低)形容词—形状形容词—年龄(新旧)形容词—颜色形容词—国籍形容词—材料形容词—用途(类别)形容词—名词

I bought a nice(好看的) small(小小的) round(圆形的) new(新的) yellow(黄色的) French (法国产的) oak(橡木做的) writing desk(写字台).

但是,以上情况并不绝对,例外的情况是常有的,况且以上规则也不好记。下面再介绍几条原则性的东西,供参考:

1. 总体描述在前,具体描述在后;

2. 主观描述在前,客观描述在后;

3. 普遍性描述在前,特殊性描述在后;

4. 音节少的词在前,音节多的词在后;

5. 与所修饰的名词关系不紧密的在前,关系紧密的在后。

注:有时,两个互补的形容词修饰同一个名词或代词,强调全部范围时,可用and / or 连起来(如:old and young, long or short, male and female)放在名词或代词的后面,并且名词与形容词之间常用逗号隔开。如:

Visitors, old and young,were delighted. 不管老少,所有的参观者都很高兴。

定语形容词和表语形容词

一般说来,形容词既可作定语又可作表语,但是,有些形容词只用于名词前作定语,它们被称为定语形容词,而另有一些形容词则只用作表语,它们被称为表语形容词。

1. 常见的定语形容词有elder(年岁较大的), eldest(最年长的), indoor (室内的), outdoor(室外的), daily(每天的), everyday(每天的), weekly(每周的), monthly(每月的), yearly(每后的), last(最后的), wooden(木制的), woolen(毛纺的)等。如:

I like wooden furniture. 我喜欢木制家具。

School is an everyday event for most children. 对大多数孩子来说,上学是每天都要做的事。

2. 常见的表语形容词有afraid(害怕的), alike(相同的), alive(活着的), alone(单独的), ashamed(羞愧的), asleep(睡着的), awake(醒着的), aware(意识到的), ill(有病的), well(身体健康的), glad(高兴的), pleased(高兴的), sorry(难过的), content(满意的), fond(喜欢的)等。如:Is the baby still asleep? 这个婴儿还在睡觉吗?

My family are all fond of going to the cinema. 我全家都爱看电影。

We are not content with the present achievements. 我们不满足于目前的成就。

注意:

关于表语形容词和定语形容词的用法并不是绝对的,当它们表示的意思发生变化,其用法也可能随之变化,如ill 表示“生病的”通常只用表语,但表示“坏的”时,却通常只用作定语。

而那些表示非确定时间的副词(如soon, recently, suddenly等)除可用于句末或句首外,还可位于句中(通常位于实意动词之前,动词be、助动词、情态动词之后):He went to Paris recently. / He recently went to Paris. / Recently he went to Paris. 最近他去了巴黎。

三、方式副词

1. 方式副词的特点

2. 方式副词在句中的位置

(1) 方式副词通常位于动词(及其宾语)之后:

不可说:We like very much it. (应改为We like it very much.)

但可说:We could see very clearly a strange light ahead of us. 我们可以很清楚地看到在我们前方有一道奇怪的光。

若遇到“动词+介词+宾语”结构,方式副词既可位于“介词+宾语”之前,也可位于“介词+宾语”之后,但是若该结构的宾语较长,则方式副词通常位于“介词+宾语”之前:He looked at me curiously. / He looked curiously at me. 他好奇地打量着我。

(2) 方式副词(主要是单个的方式副词)有时也可位于主语与动词之间:

He angrily tore up the letter. 他很生气,把信撕碎了。

(3) 有的方式副词(如bravely, cleverly, cruelly, foolishly, generously, kindly, secretly, simply 等)位于动词之前和位于句末会导致句子意思的变化:

四、频度副词

1. 频度副词的特点

频度副词表示动作发生的次数,常见有的ever, never, rarely, seldom, once, often, occasionally, constantly, frequently, usually, continually, always 等。

频度副词通常位于实意动词之前,动词be、助动词、情态动词之后:

I get paid on Fridays usually. 我通常在星期五领工资。

We go out very seldom. 我们很少外出。

有的频度副词(如sometimes, often, usually, frequently, occasionally等)可位于句首(此时多半是因为强调或对比):

Sometimes he went there by bus. 有时他坐公共汽车去那儿。

Very often the phone rings when I’m in the bath. 电话经常在我洗澡时响。

【注】含有否定意义的频度副词置于句首时,其后要用倒装语序:

另外,频度副词always 和never通常不位于句首,除非是祈使句:

3. 频度副词在否定句中的位置

在否定句中,有的频度副词可位于否定词not之后或之前(如usually, often),有的频度副词则必须位于否定词之后(如always, constantly, continually, continuously,均含有“连续不断”之意),而有的频度副词却必须要位于否定词not之前(如sometimes, frequently):He doesn’t usually come here. / He usually doesn’t come here. 他通常不来这儿。

She doesn’t always come late. 她并非总是迟到。(不能说always doesn’t)

He is sometimes not responsible for what he does. 他有时对所做的事不负责任。

五、程度副词

1. 程度副词的特点

程度副词用于表示程度,常见的有fairly, pretty, rather, quite, very, much, too, greatly, almost, nearly, half, highly, awfully, deeply, partly, perfectly, really 等。

2. 程度副词的用法注意点

(1) 程度副词主要用于修饰形容词和副词,有的还可修饰比较级(如much, rather 等)和最高级(如quite, much, almost 等):

Houses are much more expensive these days. 如今的房价贵多了。

This is quite [much] the most expensive radio here. 这是这里最贵的收音机。

【注】quite 有时也修饰比较级,但只用于quite better(身体康复)这一表达。

(2) 有的程度副词(如quite, rather, almost等)可修饰动词,但有的(如fairly, pretty, very等)则不能修饰动词:

I quite agree with you. 我完全同意你的意见。(不用fairly, pretty, very)

We rather like the film. 我们很喜欢这部电影。(不用fairly, pretty, very)

(3) 个别的程度副词(主要是quite和rather)还可修饰名词(注意词序):

It’s quite [rather] a good idea. / It’s a quite [rather] good idea. 那可真是个好主意。

若此结构中没有形容词,则quite 和rather 则只能放在冠词之前:

It was quite [rather] a success. 那事相当成功。

六、连接副词

1. 连接副词的分类

连接副词可分为两类,一类是用于连接句子或从句,常见的有therefore, besides, otherwise, however, moreover, still, thus, meanwhile等;另一类是用于引导从句或不定式,主要的有when, why, where, how 等。

2. 连接句子或从句的连接副词

其性质类似于并列连词,使用时其前通常用分号或句号;若其前用逗号,则通常带有并列连词(如and):

I don’t like it; besides, it’s too expensive. 我不喜欢它,而且也太贵了。

We all tried our best; however, we lost the game. / We all tried our best. However, we lost the game. 我们都已尽了最大的努力,不过我们还是输了。

注意,有的连接副词(如however等)后通常有逗号与句子的其他成分隔开。另外,这类副词有的还可位于句中或句末:

He may, however, come later. 不过,他也许一会儿就到。

We all tried out best. We lost the game, however. 我们都已尽了最大的努力,不过我们还是输了。

Peter is our youngest child, and we have three others besides. 彼特是我们最小的孩子,我们另外还有三个。

3. 引导从句和不定式的连接副词

用于引导从句(名词性从句)或不定式的连接副词主要有when, why, where, how等:

Tell me when we shall leave. / Tell me when to leave. 告诉我什么时候离开。

I don’t know how I can find him. / I don’t know how to find him. 我不知道如何找到他。

Where we can get the money is just our problem. / Where to get the money is just our problem. 到哪里去弄这笔钱正是我们头痛的事。

That’s why he speaks English so well. 那就是他为什么英语讲得这么好的原因。

【注】连接副词why 后不能接不定式,如可说I don’t know why I must leave.(我不知道我为什么必须离开),但不能说I don’t know why to leave。

七、关系副词

1. 关系副词的特点

关系副词用于引出定语从句,主要有when, where, why:

Sunday is the day when very few people go to work. 星期日是没什么人上班的日子。

That’s the reason why he dislikes me. 这就是他不喜欢我的原因。

Do you know a shop where I can find sandals? 你知道哪家商店我能找到凉鞋吗?

【注】关系副词用于引出定语从句,且在从句中用作状语。关系副词when 表示时间,where表示地点,why表示原因。

2. 使用关系副词的注意点

(1) how 不能用作关系副词,不要想当然地将how用作关系副词置于the way 后表示方式:

他说话就是那个样子。

误:This is the way how he spoke.

正:This is how he spoke. / This is the way (that, in which) he spoke.

(2) 关系副词when和where既可引导限制性定语从句,也可引导非限制性定语从句,但why只能引导限制性定语从句,不能引导非限制性定语从句(若引导非限制性定语从句,可用for which reason)。

(3) 引导定语从句时,when 的先行词为时间,where的先行词为地点,why的先行词为原因(主要是the reason),但是反过来却不一定:

Don’t forget the time (that) I’ve told you. 不要忘记我告诉你的时间。

This is the house (that) he bought recently. 这就是他最近买的那座房子。

Please tell me the reason (that) you know. 请告诉我你所知道的原因吧。

八、疑问副词

1. 疑问副词的特点

疑问副词有when, where, why, how 等,用于引出特殊疑问句:

Where do you come from? 你是哪里人?

When will it be ready? 这什么时候能准备好?

Why was she crying? 她刚才为什么哭?

2. 两类易混句型的区别。请看以下两句:

Where do you think he has gone? 你认为他去什么地方了?

Do you know when he will come? 你知道他什么时候来吗?

上面第一句为特殊疑问句,第二句为一般疑问句,它们不能倒过来说成Do you think where he has gone? When do you know he will come? 其区别是:可以用yes 或no 回答者,用一般疑问句的形式(疑问词放在句中,即主句之后),适合这类句型的主句动词通常有know, hear, ask, tell 等;不能用yes 或no 回答者,用特殊疑问句的形式(疑问词放在句首),适合这类句型的主句动词通常有think, believe, suppose, guess 等。

3. 使用疑问副词的注意点

(1) 疑问副词用于引导特殊疑问句,通常位于句首,但有时也不一定:

Without friends where are we? 没有朋友我们会怎样?

(2) 疑问副词引导特殊疑问句时,其后应接一般疑问句,但有时可有所省略:

Why argue with him? 为什么要与跟他争吵?

Why not ask the teacher? / Why don’t you ask the teacher? 为什么不问问老师呢?

【注】Why 或Why not后接动词原形,不接带to不定式,主要用于现在或将来,不用于过去,如不说why not tell me yesterday?应改为Why didn’t you tell me yesterday?(昨天为什么不告诉我?)

(3) 有时两个疑问副词连用:

When and where were you born? 你生于何时何地?

九、句子副词

1. 句子副词的特点

句子副词用于修饰句子(而不是修饰某个单词),反映说话人的观点和看法,如actually, certainly, clearly, definitely, evidently, fortunately, frankly, honestly, luckily, obviously, perhaps, possibly, probably, surely, undoubtedly, unexpectedly 等。

2. 句子副词在句中的位置

句子副词通常位于句首(或分句句首):

Obviously he can’t tell the difference between them. 显然他无法区别两者的不同。

I arrived late but luckily the meeting had been delayed. 我迟到了,幸而会议推迟了。

但有些句子副词也可以出现在句中:

He smiled nastily. He evidently knew something I didn’t. 他发出狞笑,他显然知道一些我所不知道的事。

有的句子副词也可用作其他种类的副词,不过这往往会导致位置和语义的变化:

Clearly he didn’t say so. 显然他没有这样说。(句子副词)

He didn’t say so clearly. 他说得没有那么清楚。(方式副词)

Frankly, you are wrong. 说实在的,你错了。(句子副词)

He spoke frankly about his past life. 他坦率地谈了他过去的生活。(方式副词)

有的与形容词同形的副词与以-ly结尾的副词意义差别不是很大。我们可从以下几个方面来区分:

位置不同:在动词之前或句首通常只用ly副词。如:

He slowly drove the car into the garage.他把车慢慢地开进车库。

Quickly everybody stood up.大家很快地站起来。

但在动词后,两种副词都可用。如:

He drives slow/slowly.他的车开得很慢。

He sold it cheap/cheaply.他将它便宜卖了。

(2)含义不同:与形容词同形的副词通常指具体情况,而-ly副词多指抽象概念。请比较:

He is sitting close to me.他就坐在我边上(from www.yygrammar)。

Watch closely what I do.仔细瞧我怎么做的。

I went deep into the woods.我深入到树林中。

Her story moved me deeply.她的故事使我深受感动。

The plane was flying high.这架飞机飞得很高。

He think highly of your work.他对你的工作评价很高。

He opened the door wide. 他把门开得大大的。

English is widely used in the world.英语在世界范围内广泛使用。

(3)习惯搭配不同。如(from www.yygrammar):

1. 在stand firm(站稳)和hold firm(固守)中不用firmly。

2. 在fair and square(正大光明地)和play fair(公平办事)中不用fairly。

3. 在take it easy(别着急), go easy(从容不迫), easier said than done(说来容易做来难), easy come, easy go(易得则易失)等中不用easily。

4. 在sound asleep(熟睡), wide open(完全开着), wide awake(完全醒了)中不用soundly或widely。

有些形容词变为副词时,可在词尾加-ly,也可以不加,两者在含义和用法上有相同之处,也有不同之处:

1. bright 与brightly的用法区别

两者都可表示“明亮地”,但bright通常只与shine连用,且应置于其后,而brightly则可与其他动词(或分词等)连用,且可置于动词之前或之后:

The stars were shining bright [brightly]. 星光灿烂。

The temple is brightly painted. 这座庙被漆得亮堂堂的。

2. cheap 与cheaply的用法区别

The room was cheaply furnished. 屋里配置了便宜的家具。

3. clear与clearly的用法区别

4. deep与deeply的用法区别

两者均可表示“深”、“深深地”,修饰具体的动作, 有时可互换:

Karen and Dave are deeply in love with each other. 凯伦与戴夫俩人深深地相爱着。

修饰带有感情色彩的动词(如hate, dislike, love, admire, hurt, regret 等),通常要用deeply,另外,修饰形容词、过去分词等,一般也要用deeply:

We deeply regret your misfortune. 我们对你的不幸深表遗憾。

I am deeply grateful to you. 我衷心感谢你。

He was deeply moved by [at] the story. 听了这个故事,他深受感动。

She is easily the cleverest girl in the class. 她无疑是这个班最聪明的女孩。

7. firm 与firmly的用法区别

They stood firm against the war. 他们坚决反对战争。

I firmly believe that it is true. 我坚信那是真的。

He speaks very highly of you. 他十分赞赏你。

His report is highly scientific. 他的报告是很科学的。

She is a highly educated woman. 她是受过很高教育的女人。

【注】在用连字符构成的复合形容词中,通常要用high:high-priced 高价的

10. quick与quickly的用法区别

You get there quicker by bus. 你坐汽车去那儿会快一些。

He quickly changed his clothes. 他迅速地换了衣服。

11. slow 与slowly的用法区别

两者都可表示“慢”,但slow通常只与少数动词(如go, drive, pass, climb, run, walk 等)连用,且应置于其后;而slowly则用法较广,且可置于动词之前或之后,有时还可置于句首:

He walked slowly [slow] up the path. 他沿着那条小路慢慢地走着。

名词和形容词作定语的区别

because of health reasons health situation health insurance convenience food 名词和形容词作定语的区别 1.在通常情况下,如果没有相应的派生形容词,原则上可用直接用名词作定语,或与之构成合 成词。如: hair style 发式 tooth ache 牙疼 service counter 服务台 cat food 猫食 bank account 银行户头 car park 停车场 blood pressure 血压 birth control 生育控制 table tennis 乒乓球 labour force 劳动力 road works 道路工程 winter sports 冬季运动 2.如果名词有相应的派生形容词,则要注意分清两者在意义上的区别。试比较: horror films 恐怖影片 horrible films 令人感到恐怖的影片 a wonder book 一部充满奇事的书 a wonderful book 一部奇妙的书 a stone path 一条石板路 a stony path 一条铺满碎石的路 education experts 教育专家 ( 从事教育工作的专家 ) educational films 教育影片 ( 具有教育意义的影片 ) gold reserve 黄金储备 golden sunshine 金的阳光 silver coins 银币 silvery hair 银白的头发 heart trouble 心脏病 a hearty welcome 热情的欢迎 snow mountain 雪山 snowy table-cloth 雪白的桌布 rain drops 雨滴 rainy season 雨季 ( 指多雨的季节 ) rose garden 玫瑰园 rosy checks 红红的面颊 colour film 彩 ****** colourful costumes 色彩鲜艳的服装 mountain village 山村 ( 山里的村庄 ) mountainous region 山区 ( 多山地区 ) 3.有时在汉语看来,似乎要用形容词作定语,但英语习惯上却要用名词作定语。如: science fiction 科幻小说 ( 不说 scientific fiction ) 因为健康原因 ( 不说 because of healthy reasons) 健康状况 ( 不说 healthy situation) 健康保险 ( 不说 healthy insurance) 方便食品 ( 不说 convenient food) convenience store 方便小商店 (不说 convenient store) popular science books 科学普及读物 ( 科普读物 )

形容词作后置定语的几种常见情况

形容词作后置定语的几种常见情况 单个的形容词作定语时,一般放在所修饰的名词之前,但在某些情况下需后置: 1. 修饰不定代词时:修饰somebody, someone, something, anybody, anyone, anything, nobody, nothing等复合不定代词的形容词,则必须放在不定代词之后。如: This isn’t anything important. 这并不是什么重要的东西。 Anyone intelligent can do it. 任何有脑子的人都能做这事。 Ther e’s nothing wrong with the machine. 机器没有毛病。 2. 形容词短语作定语时:形容词短语作定语必须放在所修饰的名词之后。如: I think he is a man suitable for the job. 我认为他是适合做这项工作的人。 We need a place twice larger than this one. 我们需要一个比这里大一倍的地方。 3. 成对的形容词作定语时:有时成对的形容词作定语,考虑到句子的节奏和平衡,可以后置。如:There was a huge cupboard, simple and beautiful. 有一个大食橱,简朴而美观。 She has many pencils, blue and red. 她有许多铅笔,有蓝的、红的。 4. 表语形容词作定语时:当表语形容词作定语时必须放在所修饰的名词之后。如: He must be the best violinist alive. 他一定是当代最好的小提琴手了。 The house ablaze is next door to me. 那家着火的房子就在我隔壁。 有时形容词作定语时,既可放在被修饰名词之前,也可放在被修饰名词之后。当past, last, next, nearby, following等作定语时,既可放在所修饰的名词之前,也可放在所修饰的名词之后。如: in past years / in years past 过去的年月 the following days / the days following 以后的日子 另外,形容词enough, opposite等修饰名词时可前置或后置。如: If we had enough time [time enough], things would be easy. 如果时间足够,事情就好办了。 The people in the house opposite [the opposite house] never draw their curtains. 对面房子里的人从来不把窗帘拉上。 注意,有的形容词前置和后置均可,但含义不同。如: What’s your present feeling? 你现在感觉如何?

4后置定语与定语从句

后置定语与定语从句 英语中的后置定语往往可以分为以下几类,形容词做后置定语,现在分词做后置定语,过去分词做后置定语,不定式作后置定语。而后置定语往往可以由定语从句演变而来,这种定语从句的关系词往往是关系代词在从句中充当主语。下面我们来逐一讨论: 1.现在分词作后置定语 ⑴Who is the girl dancing with your brother?(现在分词作后置定语, 表正在)可改写成定语从句Who is the girl that is dancing with your brother? The high building being built (=which is being built)there is meant for the old without children. It is expected to be finished in a year.(正在被建) ⑵Anyone touching the wire will get a shock.可以改成定语从句Anyone who touches the wire will get a shock. 2.过去分词做后置定语 The jewelry (which is) worn by the Indians was made of bones. The spaceship (which was) called Shenzhou Ⅴ, was carrying China’s first astronaut, Yang Liwei. The Indians wearing (=who wore)jewelry (which was) made of bones greeted them warmly. 3.不定时作后置定语 表示未发生或即将发生的情况如 The project (which is)to be completed next month needs more people to help.(即将完成的) There are more pains (which are)to come.(要来的) Children who lived closest to the Fukushima-1 Nuclear Power Station were among the first to be tested.(the first,the last之后常用不定式作定语)

多个英语形容词的排序技巧

多个英语形容词的排序技巧 形容词排序的问题一直是一个比较复杂的问题,很多英语学习者发现难以找到适合自己的记忆方法。为此,我特地从网上找到了一些帮助记忆的方法,仅供参考。 一、英文形容词的排序:OPSHACOM 关于两个及两个以上形容词修饰同一名词的顺序,一般语法书都有讲解。如《郎文英语语法》描述为:品质→尺寸→新旧→样式→颜色→产地→过去分词。 为了让英语学习者容易记住这些形容词的顺序,英国广播公司(BBC)在英语教学节目"Professor Grammar"中提出了一种称为OPSHACOM的方法。现介绍给广大读者。 OPSHACOM 是个拼缀词,它的涵义如下: OP---opinion评述性词。如beautiful,wonderful,expensive,terrible,horrible,lovely,silly,ugly等。 SH---size &shape表大些 形状的词。如long,short,round,square等。 A---age表新旧的词。如new,old等。 C---colour表颜色的词。如red,black,purple,brown,yellow等。 O---origin表产地的词。如Italian,Spanish,Canadian,Australian,Japanese 等。 M---material表材料的词。如leather,glass,rubber,metal,silk,plastic等。 按此顺序,"一件新的漂亮的意大利的黑皮茄克"的英语为"a beautiful new black Italian leather jacket。" 理论上一个名词前可有9个形容词,但在实际语言材料中一般不超过5个。因此,掌握了本方法可基本解决形容词修饰名词时的顺序问题。 学习OPSHACOM方法时还要注意以下事项: 1 各修饰词(即形容词)可有缺项,但顺序不变。如:a small Swiss watch。 2 当表大小(或长短)的词与表形状的词同时出现时,大小(或长短)在前,形状在后。如:a large square table。 3 定冠词、不定冠词、指示代词、形容词性所有格、数词等位于句首。 4 数词位于定冠词、指示代词后。(数词不与不定冠词或形容词性所有格连用) 5 分词最*近所修饰的名词。如:his new Japanese timing device;three scottish

分词作后置定语40838

所谓“定语”,就是能起到修饰、限定、解释说明作用的语言,例如,形容词是定语,定语从句也是定语。由于一些分词或分词短语置于被修饰对象的后面,所以称作“后置定语”。 现在分词和过去分词都可以做后置定语。 (1)被修饰的名词与作定语的动词为主动关系,表示该动作正在进行或与主句动作同时发生,或是经常发生的行为时,用现在分词做定语。例如: The girl standing there is my sister. 站在那里的女孩是我姐姐。 The people waiting for the bus are talking with each other. 正在等公车的人们在相互交谈。 注意;分词短语作后置定语时可以改写成定语从句。 The girl who is standing there is my sister. The people who are waiting for the bus are talking with each other. (2)如果名词与作定语的动词为被动关系时,则定语有下列三种形式: a. 如果动作已发生或经常的行为,用done。 例如:The house built there is mine. 建在那儿的房子是我的。转为定语从句:The house which was built there is mine.

b. 如果动作正在进行,用being done。 例如:The house being built there is mine.正在那儿建造的房子是我的。 转为定语从句:The house which is being built there is mine. c. 如果动作未发生,用to be done。 例如:The house to be built there is mine.将要在那儿建起来的房子是我的。 转为定语从句:The house which is to be built there is mine.

现在分词和过去分词作定语的区别

现在分词和过去分词作定语的区别 现在分词(动词-ing形式)和过去分词的主要差别在于:现在分词表示“主动和进行”,过去分词表示“被动和完成”(不及物动词的过去分词不表示被动,只表示完成)。 一、现在分词和过去分词作定语的用法 单个的分词放在所修饰的名词前(少数动词除外),分词短语放在所修饰的名词后。作定语的现在分词和过去分词的区别在于:现在分词与被修饰的名词在逻辑上是主动关系,现在分词表示动作正在发生或与谓语同时发生;过去分词与被修饰的名词在逻辑上是被动关系,过去分词的动作发生在谓语之前或没有时间性。有一点要指出的是:现在分词的被动式既表进行,又表被动。 1. 前置定语 (1)现在分词表进行,过去分词表完成。二者都表主动。 the rising sun正在升起的太阳 the risen sun已经升起的太阳 developing countries发展中国家 developed countries发达国家 the boiling water正在沸腾的水 the boiled water已经烧开的水 (2)现在分词表主动或进行,过去分词表被动。 remaining money 剩下的钱 working people劳动人民____________ a sleeping child一个睡着的孩子 written English书面英语 a man-made satellite人造卫星

a newly-built school新修的学校 the exciting news令人激动的消息 the excited people感到激动的人们 a puzzling problem令人迷惑的问题 a puzzled look感到迷惑的表情 2.后置定语 (1)现在分词的主动式表主动或进行;过去分词在语态上表被动,在时间上或表过去发生,或表没有时间性。 There are 20 people working for the project. 有20人参与这个项目。 The man standing there is our teacher. 站在那里的那个人是我们的老师。 There are some more events added to the Olympics. 有新的项目已被加到奥运会上。 I don’t like the composition written in pencil. 我不喜欢铅笔写的作文。(没有时间性) (2)现在分词的被动式既表进行,又表被动。 The library being built in the east of the city will be put into use next year. 正在城东修建的图书馆将于明年交付使用。 比较: The library built in the east of the city last year attracts many readers. 去年城东修建的图书馆吸引了很多读者。 二、实例分析 例1 The flowers _________sweet in the botanic garden attract the visitors to the beauty of nature. A. to smell B. smelling C. smelt____________ D. to be smelt

高中英语语法形容词作状语
