一、 過去分詞做定語
過去分詞做定語所表示的動作發(fā)生在謂語動作之前已完成,而且與它所修飾的名詞或代詞在邏輯上為被動關系,即被過去分詞所修飾的名詞或代詞是分詞動作的承受者,相當于一個定語從句。例如:
In the process of the competition, you should pay attention to the rules made by us.
Tsinghua University, founded in 1911, is home to a great number of outstanding figures.
We saw an abandoned farm in the distance.
Finally the woman found her lost child with the help of the police.
The professor, known as a splendid speaker, was warmly received by the students.
It was in his childhood that he read most of the books written by Mark Twain.
The tall building completed last month is our new classroom building.
二、 過去分詞做表語
過去分詞做表語時,說明主語的性質(zhì)、狀態(tài)或特征。過去分詞與其邏輯主語之間表示被動關系,所表示動作一般發(fā)生在謂語動詞之前或同時發(fā)生。常用作表語的過去分詞有amazed, amused, astonished, complicated, confused, contented, discouraged, delighted, distinguished, excited, exhausted, experienced, frightened, hurt, injured, interested, pleased, puzzled, qualified, satisfied, surprised, tired, married, worried, wounded等。例如:
On hearing the good news that our new products sold well in the market, we all got excited.
John's performance in this exam made us feel rather disappointed.
When we got there, the shop was closed.
【拓展】 “情感類”分詞形容詞在做定語或表語時的用法區(qū)別:現(xiàn)在分詞構(gòu)成的形容詞常用來修飾事物,表示被修飾的詞本身具有的性質(zhì),常譯為“令人……的”;而過去分詞構(gòu)成的形容詞常用來修飾人,常譯為“(人)感到……的”。例如:
It is far more interesting for me to chat online with friends than to watch TV. (對我來說,在網(wǎng)上和朋友聊天要比看電視有趣得多。)
I thought she might be interested in Paula's proposal. (我覺得她可能會對葆拉的提議感興趣。)
The lecture was so boring that many of the students in the classroom fell asleep. (這個演講非常乏味,以致教室里的很多學生都睡著了。)
The children quickly got bored with staying indoors. (孩子們在屋子里很快就待不住了。)
三、 過去分詞做賓語補足語
過去分詞做賓語補足語時,邏輯主語是其前面的賓語,表示一個被動或完成的動作。過去分詞做賓語補足語考查的重點是have/get... sth. done, make oneself heard/known/ understood等。過去分詞做賓語補足語時,從邏輯上應抓住賓語與賓語補足語之間的語態(tài)關系,即二者之間是被動關系,賓語是分詞動作的承受者。
常用過去分詞做賓語補足語的動詞有have, make, get, find, see, notice, watch, hear, feel, want, like等。例如:
He raised his voice to make himself heard.
He found all the deaths linked to the polluted water.
The scientists wanted to keep people informed about the breakthrough in their experiment.
【拓展】 現(xiàn)在分詞所表示的動作一般與句中謂語動詞所表示的動作同時發(fā)生, 與其邏輯主語之間是主動關系。常見動詞有see, watch, hear, observe, notice, feel, find, glimpse, glance等感官動詞和look at, listen to等短語動詞以及have, keep, get, catch, leave, set, start, send等;過去分詞與其邏輯主語之間是被動關系,所表示的動作一般發(fā)生在謂語動詞之前或同時發(fā)生。常見動詞有allow, ask, consider, desire, expect, feel, find, get, have, hear, imagine, keep, like, make, observe, order, permit, prefer, remember, request, require, see, urge等。例如:
He got his tooth pulled out yesterday. (他昨天把牙拔了。)
