一、动词的-ing概述
动词的-ing形式作定语在句中通常有两个位置,如果是单个的动词的-ing形式作定语,常放在被修饰词前作前置定语;如果是动词的-ing形式的短语作定语,常放在被修饰词后作后置定语。如:
1) He is an attacking player. 他是一个攻击型的运动员。
2) He asked an embarrassing question. 他提了一个令人难堪的问题。
3) A little child learning to walk often falls. 学走路的小孩常常跌跤。
4) Do you know the number of people coming to the party?你知道来参加晚会的人数吗?
二、动词的-ing的作用

2) He may be in the reading room, for all I know. 据我所知,他说不定在阅览室里。

2) Who is the woman talking to our English teacher 正在和我们英语老师谈话的那位女士是谁?

1) That must have been a terrifying experience. 那准是一段可怕的经历。

1) He spoke in a low voice in order not to wake the sleeping child. 为了不吵醒那个正在睡觉的孩子,他说话声音很低。

Part II现在分词作表语
分词作表语有两种情况,一种是现在分词作表语,一种是过去分词作表语,究竟是用现在分词还是用过去分词作表语是学生们经常困惑的地方。一般来说,表示心理状态的动词如excite, interest等都是及物动词,汉语意思不是“激动”,“高兴”,而是“使激动”“使高兴”,因而现在分词应该是“令人激动的”“令人高兴的”,过去分词则是“感到激动的”和“感到高兴的”。所以,凡表示“令人……的”都是-ing形式,凡是表示“感到……”都用-ed形式。换句话说,若人对……感兴趣,就是somebody is interested in..., 若人 / 物本身有兴趣时,就是说sb. / sth. is interesting。这类词常见的有:
interesting 使人感到高兴 —— interested感到高兴的
exciting令人激动的 —— excited感到激动的
delighting令人高兴的 —— delighted感到高兴的
disappointing令人失望的 —— disappointed感到失望的
encouraging 令人鼓舞的 —— encouraged感到鼓舞的
pleasing令人愉快的 —— pleased感到愉快的
puzzling令人费解的 —— puzzled感到费解的
satisfying令人满意的 —— satisfied感到满意的
如:
1) Travelling is interesting but tiring. 旅行是有趣的,但是使人疲劳。
2) The pupils will get confused if they are made to learn too much. 如果让学生学得太多,他们会感到糊涂的。
3) The argument is very convincing. 他的论点很令人信服。
4) They were very excited at the news. 听到这个消息,他们非常激动。
注意:分词作表语时,相当于形容词,不可与构成进行时态和被动 语态中的分词混淆起来。它们的形式是一样但可以从意义上予以区别。试比较:
1) The film is moving.这电影很感人。(表语,说明主语的性质)
2) They are moving next Sunday. 他们下个周日搬家。(现在进行时,表示动作)
3) The bookstore is now closed.书店现在已关门了。(表语,说明主语所处的状态)
4) The book shop is usually closed at 7.30 p.m.书店通常在晚上7:30关门。(被动语态,表示动作)

paring 句意:最近一项调查引起了市民们的热烈讨论,该调查比较在两个不同超市里的相同商品的价格。survey 和compare 之间是主动关系,所以用现在分词形式
作定语。
11. travelling 句意:所有乘坐TransLink 的乘客在上车前必须持有有效车票。customers 与travel 之间为主动关系,故用现在分词作后置定语。
