过去分词作定语

过去分词作定语，状语以及表语用法

过去分词是非谓语动词的一种形式,表示完成和被动的动作。它在句子中可以充当状语、定语等成分。过去分词与现在分词作状语

过去分词表完成、被动, 与主句主语之间是被动关系;

现在分词表进行, 主动, 与主句主语之间是主动关系。

如果一个被动的动作发生在谓语动词之前, 则可使用现在分词的完成被动式或过去分词。

过去分词表完成、被动, 作状语时, 其逻辑主语是主句的主语, 且与主语之间存在着被动关系。过去分词作状语可表时间, 原因, 让步, 结果, 方式, 条件等。

观察下列的句子:

Once published, his works (=Once his works was published, ) became famous for the absence of rhyme at the end of each line.

PP作时间状语, 相当于一个时间状语从句有时过去分词前可加连词when或while来强调时间概念。过去分词作时间状语

2. Because it was done in a hurry, his homework was full of mistakes.

2. If I am compared with you, we still have a long way to go.

过去分词作定语

过去分词作定语与其所修饰的词之间存在着逻辑上的被动关系,且表示该动作已经完成。单个的过去分词作定语, 通常置于被修饰的词的前面, 而分词短语作定语, 则须置于被修饰词的后面。

A letter posted today will reach him the day after tomorrow. 今天发出的信后天就能收到。

Polluted air and water are harmful to people’s health.受到污染的空气和水对人的健康是有害的。

分词作定语可以转换成定语从句:

He worked as a worker building roads. (主动) =He worked as a worker who/ that built roads.

This is a picture painted by my father. (被动) =This is a picture which was painted by my father.

I know the young man sleeping on the bench. (在进行) = I know the young man who is sleeping on the bench.

The letter mailed last night will reach him tomorrow. (已完成) =The letter which was mailed last night will reach him tomorrow.

过去分词短语有时亦可用作非限制性定语，前后常有逗号。

Some of them, born and brought up in country villages, had never seen a train.

他们当中有一些人, 生长在农村，从未见过火车。

过去分词作定语有前置和后置两种情况:

1. 前置定语单个的过去分词作定语, 通常放在被修饰的名词之前, 表示被动和完成意义。

被动意义an honored guest 一位受尊敬的客人The injured workers 受伤的工人

完成意义 a retired teacher 一位退休的教师the fallen leaves 落叶

2.后置定语

过去分词短语作定语时, 通常放在被修饰的名词之后, 它的作用相当于一个定语从句。

This will be the best novel of its kind ever written.=that has ever been written

另外, 分词作状语时, 如果其逻辑主语与整个句子的主语不一致时, 需要独立主格结构或with复合结构来替代。(此时, 也可把该分词看成介词的宾语补足语。)

例: The murderer was brought in, with his hands ___ behind his back.

A. being tied

B. having tied

C. to be tied

D. tied

简析: 很显然,待选部分的逻辑主语是his hands,而不是句子的主语The murderer,而his hands 对于动词tie来说, 只能是被动承受。因此, 该题应选D。

【作表语】

分词作表语相当于形容词，现在分词多指主语的性质，过去分词说明主语的状态。

The news looks quite encouraging. 这消息看来振奋人心。

They were completely exhausted. 他们完全筋疲力尽了。
