【单元语法】
1. 过去分词作定语和表语
1) 过去分词作定语 单个过去分词作定语时常放在被修饰词前,过去分词短语作定语时应放在被修饰词之后。
如: ① I bought some painted chairs. 我买了几把油漆好的椅子。② Everybody attended the meeting held last week. 所有的人都参加了上星期举行的会议。
【注意】
(1) 过去分词修饰something,everything,anything,nothing,somebody,nobody等不定代词或不定代词those时,要放在这些词的后面。① He is one of those invited. 他是那些被邀请的人之一。② Nothing reported (in the newspaper) interested him. 报纸上报导的事没有一样让他感兴趣。
(2)单个的过去分词有时置于名词后作定语。如: The experience gained is very useful. 获取的经验很有用。
(3) 有些过去分词作前置定语与后置定语时意义不同。如: in the given time 在既定的时间内; with the words given 用所给的单词; a wanted person 被通缉的人; workers wanted 招聘工人; a concerned look 关切的神情; the people concerned 有关人士
2)过去分词作表语 ① She looks worried. 她看上去忧心忡忡。② Your article is well written. 你的文章写得很好。
【辨析】过去分词作表语与被动语态的区别。
(1) 用作表语的过去分词,被动意味很弱,主要表示动作的完成和状态,此时相当于一个形容词。如:① The glass is broken. 玻璃破了。② Our classroom is crowded. 我们的教室很拥挤。
(2)被动语态的过去分词,动作意味很强,句子主语为动作的承受者,后常跟by短语。如:① The glass was broken by Jack. 玻璃是杰克打破的。② The windows were closed by Tom last night. 昨天夜里是汤姆关的窗。
【拓展】表示感觉的一些过去分词 (如surprised,disappointed,excited,pleased等)及其他一些 (如dressed,drunk,devoted,lost,known,married, recovered,separated等)过去分词可常用作表语,表示状态,其中有些只表示状态,毫无被动意味。如:① I found that I was lost. 我发现我迷了路。② Those days are past and gone. 那些日子一去不复返了。③ He is dead drunk. 他喝得烂醉。④ The patient is perfectly recovered from his illness. 病人已完全康复。
【注意】过去分词作表语时,系动词除be外,也可用get,become等表示动作,不能延续。如: ① They have been married for five years. 他们结婚五年了。② They got married five years ago. 他们五年前结的婚。
