五、语法专项: 过去分词作定语和表语
(The Past Participle as the Attribute and the Predicative)
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表语、定语等成份。下面仅谈其作定语和表语的用法。
1.过去分词作定语
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。
A类:被动意义:
an honored guest
一位受尊敬的客人
The injured workers are now being taken good care of in the hospital.
受伤的工人现正在医院受到良好的照料。
B类:完成意义:
a retired teacher 一位退休的教师
They are cleaning the fallen leaves in the yard.
他们正在打扫院子里的落叶。
(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。如:
This will be the best novel of its kind ever written (=that has ever been written).
这将是这类小说中写得最好的。
Who were the so-called guests invited (=who had been invited) to your party last night
昨晚被邀请参加你的晚会的那些所谓的客人是谁呀
2.过去分词作表语
作表语的过去分词主要来自及物动词,在主-系-表句型中,说明主语所处的一种状态。其中系动词有包括be在内的多种形式。如:
You seem frightened.
你看样子受了惊吓。
少数不及物动词(如go, come, set)的过去分词也能作表语,但它们不表示被动意义,只是表示动作完成。如:
They are gone for vacation.
他们度假去了。
注意:要区别“系动词+过去分词(系表结构)” 和 “系动词+过去分词(被动语态)”。如:
A. The library is now closed.
图书馆现在关门了。
B. The library is closed at six.
图书馆经常在六点钟关门。
说明:作表语用的过去分词表示主语的特点或所处的状态,强调主谓关系。这种结构中的过去分词前可加quite, very, rather等修饰词。系动词可有多种,表示不同的意义;被动语态表示动作,强调动宾关系,绝大多数被动结构中的行为执行者还可以用by短语来表示。因此,我们不难看出在上面两句中,A句是系表结构,B句是被动语态。
高考解析
1. Most of the artists _____ to the party were from South Africa. (MET 1990)A. invited B. to inviteC. being invited D. had been invited答案:A解析: 此题考查过去分词作后置定语;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。即 Most of the artists who had been invited to the party were from South Africa.2. The computer center, _____ last year, is very popular among the students in this school. (NMET 1993)A. open B. opening C. having opened D. opened答案:D解析: 从last year可以看出来应该选择过去式;同时这也是一个过去分词作后置定语的典型例子,相当于which is opened last year…3. Cleaning women in big cities usually get _____ by the hour.(NMET 1998)A. pay B. payingC. paid D. to pay答案:C解析: get paid本来就是一个短语,意思是“被付报酬”;从语法角度来讲,get是个系动词,相当于be动词,这里是被动语态的用法。
课外拓展
A nurse and her elderly uncle were waiting for a bus at a corner in downtown Chicago. Buses came by, but not the one they wanted. The woman finally half-entered one of the buses and asked the driver if the bus she wanted stopped at that corner. The driver looked at her but made no answer, so she repeated the question. To her great surprise, he then closed the door—on her arm—and drove off. The woman, her arm stuck in the door, ran alongside the bus, shouting. Passengers said the driver stopped after almost a block only because they, too, were shouting. When the driver finally did stop and open the door, the woman jumped on the bus to get his bus number. Then he took off again and went another couple of blocks before other shouting passengers persuaded him to stop and let the woman off. After the driver’s bosses at a tax—supported governmental company — heard of the incident, they looked into it and set his punishment: a five-day suspension without pay. That struck me as rather light. But Bill Baxa, the company’s public-relations man, said,“That’s a pretty serious punishment.” Five days off work is a serious punishment for dragging a woman alongside a bus by her arm Baxa said,“Any time you take money away from someone, it is a terrible punishment. The driver makes $ 14 an hour. Multiply that by 40 and you can see what he lost.” Yes, that comes to %560, a good sum. But we know that people in the private company are fired for far less every day. If the people who run the bus company think that the loss of a week’s pay is more than enough, I offer them a sporting suggestion: Give me a bus. Then have their wives stick their arms in the doorway of the bus, and I’ll slam the door shut, start the bus quickly and take them for a fast one-block run. And I’ll pay % 560 to anyone who is bold enough to try it. Any takers Mr. Baxa Anybody I didn’t think so.1.The nurse half-entered one of the buses because ______.A.the bus they wanted didn’t’ stop thereB.she wanted the driver to stop the busC.she wanted to get some information from the driverD.she and her uncle couldn’t wait any longer at the corner2.How many blocks was the woman away from the corner where she waited when the bus driver finally let her off A.Almost one block.B.Almost two blocks.C.Probably three blocks.D.Probably five or six blocks.3.Why did the author offer a sporting proposition A.Because the CTA paid little attention to the incident.B.Because the bus driver had not been fired.C.Because he wanted to threaten the CTA people.D.Because he thought the punishment was not a serious one.4.From this passage we may infer that _______.A.many people in the private sector are fired for minor mistakes every dayB.people in the private sector usually get more punishment than those in the public sectorC.people in the private sector get much higher pay than those in the public sectorD.people in the private sector are better trained than those in the public sector5.Which of the following is NOT true A.The company is a bus company supported by the governmentB.The writer and Mr. Baxa disagreed with each other on the bus company’s decision.C.The driver finally stopped the bus under the pressure of the passengers.D.The writer asked the bus company to give him a bus if his suggestion was refused.答案与解析: 1.[答案]C [解析]从第一段最后一句The woman finally half-entered one of the buses and asked the driver if the bus she wanted stopped at that corner.可以看出来,她只是想问问那个司机这趟车是否到达他们想去的地方。 2.[答案]C [解析]细节题。第三段Passengers said the driver stopped after almost a block…可见刚开始在一个block过去后停了一下,然而真正让妇女下车是在第四段Then he took off again and went another couple of blocks before other shouting passengers persuaded him to stop and let the woman off.后,也就是总共过了三条街道。 3.[答案]D [解析] sporting proposition 就是sporting suggestion,文章第八段出现了,之所以举这个例子,是因为作者认为That struck me as rather light.为了推翻Bill Baxa的观点错误而提出的建议。 4.[答案]B [解析]从But we know that people in the private company are fired for far less every day.而文章所讲的是关于惩罚的问题,可以看出B是正确答案。 5.[答案]D [解析]作者并不是想要一辆公共汽车,他只是举个例子来证明自己的观点。
