句式解读
1.(P53)The navy turned to Eckert, an engineer, and Mauchly, a physicist, to deal with the problem and produce a machine to do the job in a joint effort. (同位语)
【翻译】美国海军向一位工程师Eckert和一位物理学家Mauchly请求帮助,联合处理这个问题,生产做这个工作的机器。
【考点提炼】
句中的an engineer和a physicist 分别是Eckert和Mauchly的同位语。
【归纳拓展】
(一)一个名词(或其它形式)对另一个名词或代词进行解释或补充说明,这个名词(或其它形式)就是同位语。同位语与被它限定的词的格式要一致,并常常紧挨在一起。同位语除表示其同位成分的全部意义外,还可以表示部分意义。由两个或两个以上同一层次的语言单位组成的结构,其中前项与后项所指相同,句法功能也相同,后项是前项的同位语其中常用,连接。
1.由两个或两个以上同一层次的语言单位组成的结构,其中前项与后项所指相同,句法功能也相同,后项是前项的同位语其中常用‘,’连接。
Mr. Smith,our new teacher,is very kind to us.
our new teacher是主语Mr.Smith 的同位语,指同一人。
2.同位语与其同位成分关系紧密时不用逗点隔开;同位语对其同位成分只作补充解释时可用逗点隔开。
He told me that his brother John was a world-famous doctor.
(brother和John都是单一的字作同位语,与其同位成分之间不用逗点隔开。)
3.同位语除表示其同位成分的全部意义外,还可以表示部分意义。
We Chinese people are brave and hard-working. 我们中国人民是勤劳勇敢的。
Chinese people是we的同位语。
(二)同位语类型
1.单词作同位语
We both come from Human.
You three take these seats.
2.短语作同位语
(1) 使用不定式作同位语。如:
He says that Computertown UK was formed for just the opposite reason,to bring computers to people and make them “people-literate”.
(2) 有时可用形容词作同位语,作用接近定语,但放在所同位名词的后面,且有逗号把它们分开。如:
People,old and young,took to the streets to watch the parade.
Wang Li,just back from the training class,was made director of the Maternity Home.
3.从句作同位语:
⑴ 同位语从句:在某些名词后面,可以跟that或连接代词(副词)引起的从句作同位语,说明其内容。
⑵同位语从句的先行词有:idea,fact,news,hope,belief,thought,doubt,promise, truth, agreement, decision等。如:
I have no idea that you were here.
The news that our team has won the match is true.
注意:有时这种同位语不紧跟在它说明的名词后面。如:
The order soon came that all the soldiers should go to the front.
⑶ 区别同位语从句和定语从句
从意义上讲,前者对名词加以补充说明,而后者对名词进行修饰和限定。
从结构上讲,前者由连接词引导,后者由关系代词引导。
从内涵上讲,前者所说明的名词与从句没有逻辑关系,后者所限定的名词是从句逻辑上的主语、宾语、表语等。
引导同位语从句的连词不可省略,而引导定语从句的关系代词作宾语时常可省略。
同位语从句说明的名词大都是抽象名词,而定语从句所修饰、限定的名词则没有限制。
试比较:
The news that he was married is not true. (同位语从句。that在从句中不作任何成分,和从句没有逻辑关系)
The news that you told me yesterday is true. (定语从句。that 在句中作宾语,可以省略)

2.(P53)Human life on this planet has been transformed into a “global village”, with all the different countries linked in the chain of common interests.
【翻译】人类在这个星球上的生活已经被转变成了“地球村”,所有不同的国家都因共同利益而紧紧联系了在一起。
【考点提炼】
过去分词短语linked in the chain of common interests在句子中作定语,修饰前面的名词短语different countries。
【归纳拓展】
过去分词是动词的一种非限定形式,兼有动词、副词和形容词的特征,可以在句中作定语、表语、宾语补足语或状语。
1.过去分词短语,作定语修饰名词时,一般放在名词后面,作后置定语。与前面的名词之间,构成被动关系。或表示完成。
The piano used at the concert is made in France.
在音乐会上用的这架钢琴是在法国制造的。
The story written by a middle school student is very popular.
由一名中学生写的这个故事很流行。
2. 单个过去分词作定语:可放在名词前面,有时候也可以放后面。
an honored guest 一位受尊敬的客人 a retired teacher 一位退休的教师
All the broken windows have been repaired.
所有坏了的窗户都已经修好了。
The ground is covered with fallen leaves. 地上铺满了落叶。
3.过去分词作定语与所修饰词之间存在两种意义关系:一是及物动词表被动意义(或已完成的被动动作);二是不及物动词表示完成意义。
(1)表示被动和完成 the broken glass打碎了的杯子
(2)只表示完成不表示被动 fallen leaves落叶
4.过去分词、动词不定式的被动式和动词ing形式的被动形式都可作定语,但表示的时间概念不同。过去分词表示已经完成的行为,可以和表示过去的时间状语连用;动词ing形式的被动式表示正在进行的被动行为,可以和 now 连用;动词不定式的被动式往往表示即将进行的行为,可以和表示将来的时间状语连用。
请仔细琢磨下面这个例子:
He argued that liberal reforms introduced by the American occupation authorities after World War II had weakened “the Japanese morality of respect for parents”.
他认为(二战后由美国当局引进的)自由改革已经削弱了“日本人(尊敬父母)的道德观”。
(1)句子主干:He argued that...,主谓+that引导的宾语从句。意思是:他认为......
(2)宾语从句中,主干为:liberal reforms(...)had weakened “the Japanese morality of...”
意思是:自由改革已经削弱了日本人的道德观。
(3)修饰成分:introduced by the American occupation authorities after World War II
introduced by...是过去分词短语,作后置定语,修饰前面的名词reforms。
意思是:二战后被美国当局引进的

Whose bike is it 这是谁的自行车?
What books have you read on this subject 你读过哪些关于这方面的书?
8.关系形容词 关系代词which,whose,what之后接名词,成为关系形容词。如:
The men whose names were called left the room. 哪些被叫到名字的人离开了房间。
Do you give her what money you had 你把你所有的钱都给了她吗?
9.副词形容词 有少数副词由于没有相应的形容词,也可以充当形容词。如:
The ball here is mine. 这儿的这个球是我的。
He caught the up train. 他赶上了上行的火车。
10.动词形容词 由动词转化成的形容词,即现在分词、过去分词。如:
In spring we uncover the swimming pool. 春天我们移去游泳池的覆盖物。
There is running water in the kitchen and the bathroom. 厨房和卫生间都有自来水。
三、作用
形容词在句中作定语,表语,状语,宾语补足语和主语或宾语。
1.作定语 形容词作定语时通常放在它所修饰的名词前面,称为前置定语,被修饰的名词可称为主体词。如:
The company is in a difficult situation. 这家公司正处于困难的境地。
She is a good student,and she works hard. 她是一个好学生,她努力学习。
2.作表语 同名词一样,形容词也可以用在系动词后面作表语,修饰主语或说明主语的情况。如:
This bike is expensive. 这辆自行车很贵。
I am sorry, I’m busy now. 对不起,我现在很忙。
3.作主语补足语 说明主语所处的状态或其原因。如:
He spent seven days in the wind and snow,cold and hungry. 他又冷又饿,在风雪中过了7天。
4.作宾语补足语。如:
We must keep our classroom clean. 我们必须保持教室整洁。
We found the film quite instructive. 我们发现那部电影很有教育意义。
5.作主语或宾语
这有一定的限制,主要是指“定冠词+某些形容词”,表示一类人或事物,这种形容词已名词化。
(1)某些形容词加上定冠词可以泛指一类人,与谓语动词的复数连用。如:
The poor the dead the living the rich the blind the hungry等。
The poor are losing hope. 穷人们丧失希望。
(2)某些形容词加上定冠词(the true,the false,the beautiful等)可以表示抽象事物,与谓语动词的单数连用。如:
The good is what people like. 人们总是喜欢美好的东西。
(3)有关国家和民族的形容词前面加上定冠词(the British,the English,the Chinese等)指这个民族的整体,与谓语动词的复数连用。如:
The English have wonderful sense of humor. 英国人很有幽默感。
四、在句中的位置
1.形容词作定语一般放在被修饰的名词之前。如果有两个或两个以上的形容词修饰一个名词时,则由它们和被修饰的名词之间的密切程度而定,越密切的形容词越靠近名词。如果几个形容词的密切程度差不多则按音节少的形容词放在前面,音节多的形容词放在后面。
2.形容词在名词后面的几种情形:
(1)修饰不定代词some,any,every,no等
(2)后面有介词短语或不定式短语时,形容词必须置于名词之后
(3)少数形容词,如enough和possible,既可置于所修饰的名词前面也可以置于它所修饰的名词之后。
(4)有些形容词,置于名词之前与之后,含义不尽相同。例如:
the writer present 出席的作者 the present writer 现在的作者
3.由两个或两个以上的词组成的形容词词组修饰名词时须放在名词之后。如:
This is the book easy to read. 这是一本容易读的书。
4.用 and 或 or 连接起来的两个形容词作定语时一般把它们放在被修饰的名词后面,起进一步解释的作用。如:
Everybody, man and woman,the old and the young, should attend the meeting.
每一个人,男女老少,都应该参加会议。
You can take any box away, big or small. 这些箱子,不管大小,你都可以拿走。
五、排序
在英语学习中,好多时候是多个形容词修饰一个名词,这些形容词之间的先后顺序如何记忆有方法如下:OPSHACOM:
1.OP---opinion评述性词。如beautiful,wonderful,expensive,terrible,horrible,lovely,silly,ugly等。
2. SH---size &shape表大小、形状的词。如 long,short,round,square等。
3.A---age表新旧的词。如new,old等。
4.C---colour表颜色的词。如red,black,purple,brown,yellow等。
5.O---origin表产地的词。如Italian,Spanish,Canadian,Australian,Japanese
6.M---material表材料的词。如leather,glass,rubber,metal,silk,plastic等。
按此顺序,"一件新的漂亮的意大利的黑皮夹克"的英语为:a beautiful new black Italian leather jacket。
口诀法:"美小圆旧黄,法国木书房”
注:“美”代表“描述或性质类”形容词;“小”代表“大小、长短、高低、胖瘦类” 形容词;“圆”代表“形状类” 形容词;“旧”代表“新旧、年龄类” 形容词;“黄”代表“颜色类” 形容词;“法国”代表“来源、国籍、地区、出处类” 形容词;“木”代表“物质、材料、质地类” 形容词;“书”代表“用途、类别、功能、作用类” 形容词;“房”代表“中心名词”。
如:two beautiful new green silk evening dress 两件又新又漂亮的丝绸女士晚礼服;
that hungry, tired, sleepy little match girl 那个饥饿、疲劳、困倦的卖火柴的小女孩;
an old large brick dining hall 一个旧的红砖砌的大餐厅。
限定描绘大长高,形状年龄和新老;颜色国籍跟材料,作用类别往后靠;
其中,“限定词”包括:冠词、物主代词、指示代词、或数词,它位于各类形容词前。它本身分为三位, 即:前、中、后。前位限定词有all、half、both、分数和倍数;中位限定词有冠词、指示代词、物主代词等;后位限定词有基数词和序数词,但序数词位于基数词前。 如:both my hands、all half his income等。“描绘”性形容词如:beautiful、bad、cold、great等。“大长高”表示大小、长短、高低等一些词。表示“形状”的词如:round square等。“国籍”指一个国家或地区的词。“材料”的词如:wooden, woolen, stone,silk等。“作用类别”的词如:medical, college,writing desk,police car等。
熟记规则:大小形状和新老,颜色国籍出(处)材料多个形容词修饰同一名词时的顺序是固定的,其顺序为: ①冠词、指示代词、不定代词、物主代词+②序数词+基数词+③一般性描绘形容词+④大小、长短、形状+年龄、新旧+⑥颜色+⑦国籍、出处+⑧材料+⑨用途、类别+⑩最终修饰的名词或动名词。例如:
a beautiful little red flower 一朵美丽的小花
those four old-looking,grey,wooden houses 那四栋很久的灰色木屋
a big,round ,red,wooden,Chinese table 一个中国制造木制红色的大的圆桌子
六、其他
1.以-ly结尾的形容词 大部分形容词加-ly可构成副词。但 friendly,deadly,lovely,lonely,likely,lively,ugly,brotherly,仍为形容词。如:
Her singing was lovely.
He spoke to me in a very friendly way.
2.有些以-ly 结尾的词如daily,weekly,monthly,yearly,early既为形容词,也为副词。如:
The Times is a daily paper.
The Times is published daily.
3.以a-开头的形容词只能作表语或补足语,不能作定语。这类形容词有:alike, alive, alone, afraid, ashamed, able, awake等。如:
The twins are very much alike. 这对双胞胎非常像。
The little boy was left alone. 这小男孩被独自留下了。
The little girl has fallen asleep. 这小女孩已经睡着了。
