所谓名词修饰语（noun modifiers）就是可以用来修饰名词的词类、短语和从句。 可以修饰名词的词或词类甚多，包括下面10种： ㈠形容词：good, bad, able, honest 等 ㈡复合形容词：four-sided, dark-eyed, three-hour, high-rise, poverty-stricken 等 ㈢现在分词：smiling, amusing, annoying, astonishing, thrilling 等 ㈣过去分词：lost, damaged, frightened, disappointed, crowded, burnt, stolen 等 ㈤名词：a flower garden, a basketball match, a tea party, an emergency meeting 等 ㈥动名词：walking stick, dining-room, laughing-stock, steering committee 等 ㈦所有格：Johns hat, tomorrows weather forecast, two hours discussion 等 ㈧副词：the statement above, the branches overhead, the bedroom upstairs 等 ㈨数目词：many, few, a few, some 等 ㈩数量词：much, little, a little 等 这里有些事要注意。首先，除了复合形容词、所有格、数目词、数量词可以超过一个字之外，其余的名词修饰语，都是单字单词的。其次，除了副词（通常是时间性或地点性的）出现在名词后面之外，其余的都出现在名词前面。例如： ① Jason is an honest man. |
