8、CTIVES)1. 含有分词的复合形容词复合形容词中的现在分词与过去分词均源于定语从句中的谓语动词。例如:Australia is a country which speaks English. (country 由定语从句修饰)澳大利亚是一个讲英语的国家。Australia is a country speaking English. (country 由现在分词短语修饰)Australia is an English-speaking country. (country 由复合形容词修饰)以上三个句子中,我们分别用了三种不同的方法修饰country,三种不同的修饰语与country的逻辑关
9、系都是country speaks English,因为country是动作speak的发出者,按照修饰动作发出者用现在分词的原则,合成词应该使用English-speaking。然而短语spoken English (英语口语)是不同的,这个短语中被修饰词English是动作speak的承受者,因此,用过去分词spoken, 以上两种不同的逻辑关系必须分清。我们再来看几个例子:earthshaking changes = changes which shake the earth翻天覆地的变化(changes 是动作shake的发出者)UN peacekeeping forces=force
10、s which keep peace联合国维和部队(forces 是动作keep的发出者)record-breaking destroy=destroy which breaks record 破记录的毁坏peace-loving people= people who love peace爱好和平的epoch-making decision=decision which makes epoch开新纪元的/划时代的决策fine-sounding words=words which sound fine 甜言蜜语soft-feeling materials=materials which feel
11、 soft 手感柔软的面料good-looking gentleman=gentleman who looks good 仪表堂堂的男士hard-working students=students who study hard刻苦读书的学生far-reaching influence=influence which reaches far广泛深远的影响easygoing person=person who goes easy 随和容易相处的人well-being children=children who are well 健康的孩子state-owned enterprises=enterp
12、rises which are owned by state国有企业hand-made goods=goods which were made by hand 手工制品heart-felt thanks=thanks which are felt by heart 衷心的感谢fast-developing industry=industry which develops fast 高速发展的产业highly-developed countries=countries have developed highly 高度发达的国家newly-arrived visitors=visitors who
13、 have arrived newly 刚刚抵达的参观者well-known university=university which is known very well著名的大学ready-made clothes=clothes which are made and ready to be used做好的, 现成的衣服self-employed person=person who is employed by oneself非受雇于人的,从事个体职业的人snow-covered fields=feilds which are covered by snow白雪覆盖的田野newly-built airport=airport which is built newly新建的飞机场从以上例子可以看出,要了解和掌握含有分词的复合形容词,首先必须了解正确使用及物动词的现在分词和过去分词的关键: 准确了解及物动词的分词与所修饰的名词关系,修饰动作发出者用现在分词表示主动,修饰动作承受者用过去分词表示被动。 准确了解不及物动词的所用时态,用现在分词表示主动含义或动作正在进行,用过去分词表示动作业已完成。
