(2)后置定語

The young man sitting between John and Mary is the editor of the campus newspaper.?

坐在約翰和瑪麗之間的那個年輕小伙子是校園報的編輯。

The bridge built last month needs repairing.?

上個月建造的那座橋需要修理。

(3)過去分詞作定語有的既可前置也可后置。如:

All the broken windows have been repaired.?

所有壞了的窗戶已經修理好了。

All the windows broken have been repaired.

(4)分詞短語作定語必須置于被修飾詞之后,相當于一個定語從句。如:

Those wishing to join this club should sign here.?

想加入本俱樂部的人在這里簽名。?

=Those who wish to join the club should sign here.

The man,having been disturbed so badly, almost lost his memory.?

由于被嚴重困擾,這個人幾乎失去了記憶。?

The man,who had been disturbed so badly, almost lost his memory.

(5)完成體的分詞一般不作定語,若要表達完成意義最好用定語從句。如:

一般不說:The girl having won the race is my deskmate.

而常這樣說:The girl who has won the race is my deskmate.

(6)非限定性的完成體作定語或如果分詞所修飾的詞是泛指則沒有這個限制。如:

Anyone having passed the test has got a prize.?

任何通過考試的人都能得到一份獎品。

Charlie, having lived in Paris for years, decided to return to London.?

在巴黎呆過多年,查理決定重返倫敦。

(7)過去分詞作定語在意義上有兩種可能:表示被動和完成,只表完成。如:

The question discussed yesterday.

昨天討論的問題。(既表示被動也表示完成)

the fallen leaves?

落下的樹葉(只表示完成,不表示被動)

在英語中只表完成而不表被動的往往是一些不及物動詞的過去分詞,常見的有:

the changed situation, a newly returned student等。

(五)分詞作賓語補足語

I often hear a girl singing downstairs.

我有時聽到樓下有一個小姑娘在唱歌。

I find some students in this school often punished by the teachers.

我發(fā)現這所學校的學生經常被老師懲罰。

以上這些是筆者總結的分詞在寫作中的一些實用方法,說了那么多,最后老師再列張分詞小表,希望大家在熟練掌握分詞各種用法的時候也千萬別忽略它的基本格式噢:
