过去分词作定语、表语
 
   过去分词(the Past Participle )是非谓语动词的一种重要形式,其用法很广泛。过去分词除了和助动词be / have / had 等构成语态和时态之外,还具有形容词和副词的词性。故在句中作定语、表语、状语和宾语补足语等。本文将着重谈谈过去分词作定语和表语的用法,以期帮助同学们更好地掌握和应用该语法项目。

  一、作定语

  一般来说,过去分词含有"完成"和"被动"的双重意义。但要注意不及物动词的过去分词常表示"完成"的动作,而不表示"被动"意义。如:boiled water (凉开水); fallen leaves (落叶); the risen sun (升起的太阳)等。例如:

  The tall man is a returned student. 高个子的那个人是个归国留学生。

  My parents are both retired teachers. 我的父母都是退休教师。

  单个的过去分词作定语时,一般放在被修饰词之前(如上例),也可后置。例如:

  Hurry up, there is only a little time left. 快点,时间不多了。

  If you wish everything changed, please say so. 你如果希望改变一切,请说明。

  过去分词作定语往往与被修饰的词靠得很紧,渐渐地成为一个复合词。这种分词叫分词形容词(the Participal Adjective ),实际上相当于一个单纯的形容词,除表示"完成"的动作之外,还表示"被动"的意义。如:spoken English (英语口语); iced beer(冰镇啤酒);cooked food (熟食); fried chips (炸土豆条)。例如:

  The polluted water and air are harmful to people's health. 污染了的水和空气对人的健康有害。

  A burnt boy is afraid of fire. 烧伤的男孩怕火。

  过去分词尽管为非谓语动词,但它们仍然保持着动词的词性,既可以有自己的宾语,又能接状语,一起构成过去分词短语。作定语时,须将分词放在被修饰词之后,功能相当于一个定语从句。例如:

  Near the window, there is a bookshelf filled with many books (=which is filled with many books). 靠近窗户,有一个装满书的书架。

  Most of the students invited to the garden party (=who were invited to the garden party) came from our school. 大部分被邀请参加游园会的学生来自于我们的学校。

  Yesterday, I received the first family letter written by my mother (=that was written by my mother). 昨天我收到妈妈写的第一封家信。

  Her daughter, brought up by me(=who was brought up by me) has begun to work now.由我带大的她的女儿现在已经参加工作了。

  二、作表语

  过去分词作表语并无"完成"或"被动"之意,而是表示主语的状态或思想感情等。例如:

  He looked worried after reading the letter. 看完信后,他显得很忧虑。

  When we heard of it, we were deeply moved. 当我们听到这件事时,被深深地感动了。

  He seemed quite delighted at the idea. 听到这个想法,他似乎很高兴。

  常见的作表语的过去分词有: amused (愉快的); connected(连接的); broken(碎了的); closed(关闭的); completed(完成的); astonished(吃惊的); covered(覆盖的); crowded(拥挤的); delighted(高兴的); disappointed(失望的); discouraged(泄气的); dressed ( 穿着的 ) ; drunk(喝醉的);experienced(有经验的) ; gone(遗失的);lost(丢失的); worried(担忧的); interested(感兴趣的); tired(疲劳的); pleased( 高兴的); satisfied(满意的); surprised(吃惊的); married(已婚的); known(著名的),等等。

  注:过去分词作表语不要与被动语态混为一体。分词作表语表示主语的状态,而被动语态则表示被动的动作。例如:

  My glasses are broken. 我的眼镜碎了。(状态)

  My glasses were broken by my son. 我的眼镜被我儿子摔碎了。(动作)

  On the earth, 70% of the surface is covered with water. 地球表面70%是被水覆盖的。(状态)

  I was greatly surprised by a knock at the door. 敲门声使我大为吃惊。(动作)
