英语讲义【91】混淆的动词形态
<p> 以前谈过了动词形态的错误，这种错误屡见不鲜，是英语错误中常见的一种。因为这缘故，很多英语考试，都会有一项动词形式选择或改正的试题。</p><p> 从观察所得，动词形态错误的一个原因是不规则动词的混淆所引起的。</p><p> 这里便举些例子谈谈。</p><p> ㈠ <span word="Hang">Hang</span></p><p> 这动词有两个主要意思，就是悬挂和吊死。前者的过去式和过去分词是<span word="hung">hung</span>，如：</p><p> ① <span word="Mr">Mr</span> <span word="Lim">Lim</span> <span word="hung">hung</span> <span word="a">a</span> <span word="newly">newly</span> <span word="bought">bought</span> <span word="oil">oil</span> <span word="painting">painting</span> <span word="on">on</span> <span word="the">the</span> <span word="wall">wall</span>.</p><p> ② <span word="Who">Who</span> <span word="has">has</span> <span word="hung">hung</span> <span word="the">the</span> <span word="dirty">dirty</span> <span word="clothes">clothes</span> <span word="on">on</span> <span word="the">the</span> <span word="tree">tree</span>?</p><p> <span word="Hang">Hang</span>当吊死时用，它的过去式和过去分词是<span word="hanged">hanged</span>，如：</p><p> ③ <span word="The">The</span> <span word="prisoner">prisoner</span> <span word="hanged">hanged</span> <span word="himself">himself</span> <span word="in">in</span> <span word="the">the</span> <span word="prison">prison</span>.</p><p> ④ <span word="Drug">Drug</span>-<span word="traffickers">traffickers</span>, <span word="if">if</span> <span word="arrested">arrested</span>, <span word="will">will</span> <span word="be">be</span> <span word="hanged">hanged</span>.</p><p> 如果贸贸然用<span word="hung">hung</span>代替<span word="hanged">hanged</span>或以<span word="hanged">hanged</span>取代<span word="hung">hung</span>就会令人莫名其妙，如：</p><p> ⑤ <span word="The">The</span> <span word="murderer">murderer</span> <span word="was">was</span> <span word="caught">caught</span> <span word="and">and</span> <span word="hung">hung</span>.</p><p> ⑥ <span word="How">How</span> <span word="can">can</span> <span word="such">such</span> <span word="a">a</span> <span word="nice">nice</span> <span word="painting">painting</span> <span word="be">be</span> <span word="hanged">hanged</span> <span word="in">in</span> <span word="the">the</span> <span word="kitchen">kitchen</span>?</p><p> ㈡ <span word="Lie">Lie</span></p><p> 这动词的常见意思是说谎和躺下。前者的过去式和过去分词是<span word="lied">lied</span>；后者的是<span word="lay">lay</span>和<span word="lain">lain</span>.</p><p> 若不小心，把两个动词的形式搞乱了，很可能会有这样的错误：</p><p> ⑦ <span word="The">The</span> <span word="puppy">puppy</span> <span word="lied">lied</span> <span word="on">on</span> <span word="the">the</span> <span word="carpet">carpet</span> <span word="and">and</span> <span word="slept">slept</span>.</p>
