同学们知道形容词作定语时一般放在所修饰的名词之前。那么,你知道在什么情况下它们可以后置吗?请看: 1. 形容词修饰不定代词或地点副词时。如: There is nothing important. I want to find somewhere quiet. 注意:不定代词前若有限定词时,形容词就不后置。如: They did the necessary something. 2. 以字母a开头的形容词,如alive, ashamed, alike, afraid, asleep, awake等作定语时。如: He was the only man alive at that time. The girl ashamed is my sister. 3. 以-ible, -able结尾的形容词,如possible, unspeakable, imaginable等作定语时。如: We must get in touch with them in every way possible. Beijing is an interesting place ima- ginable. 4. 表示度量的形容词短语作定语时。如: A bridge twenty meters long is being built. There is a building eight metres high in our school. 5. 形容词加介词短语或不定式短语作定语时。如: I know the actor suitable for the part. The boys easiest to teach were from the countryside. 6. 用and或or连接的表示反义或近义的两个或两个以上形容词作定语时。如: The women, old and young, stayed at home. The boy, tired, hungry and thirsty, is lying there. 7. 有些从法语或拉丁语中派生出来的形容词作定语时。如: from time immemorial远古以来 secretary general秘书长 另外,有些形容词前置或后置都可以,但意义不同。试比较: The people present at the meeting are all workers. 出席会议的人都是工人。 He gave us a talk on the present situation. 他给我们作了一个目前形势的报告。 The tool used are made in China. 所使用的工具是中国制造的。 The used tools are on the floor. 旧工具全在地上。 (文/李彦贵;英语通高三版2003-2004学年第8期;版权归英语辅导报社所有,独家网络合作伙伴新浪教育,未经许可,不得以任何形式进行转载。) |
