1. 分词作定语 1) 分词作定语既可以放在所修饰的词之前,作前置定语,也可以放在所修饰的词后面,作后置定语。其作用相当于一个定语从句。例如: Where are the reserved seats? (=Where are the seats which have been reserved?) 预定的座位在哪里? This is a pressing problem. (=This is a problem which is pressing.) 这是一个紧迫的问题。 2) 分词作后置定语可分为限制性(紧跟在所修饰的中心词之后)和非限制性(用逗号与其所修饰的中心词分开)两种,其作用分别相当于一个限制性定语从句和非限制性定语从句。例如: The funds raised (= which have been raised) are mainly used for helping the homeless. 筹集的资金主要用来帮助那些无家可归的人。 There are many students waiting (= who are waiting) to get examined. 有许多学生在等待检查。 This book, written (= which is written) in simple English, is suitable for beginners. 本书是用浅显的英语写的,适合初学者。 3) 分词常和形容词、副词或名词构成合成形容词作定语。例如: The flower-carrying girl must be waiting for someone. |
