形容词的位置关系
有时候我们用一个以上形容词来修饰名词:
He was a nice intelligentyoung man.
She had a small round black wooden box.
有些形容词给了一个大体的描述。我们可以用这些形容词来描述几乎所有名词:
有些形容词给了一个特殊的含义。我们只用这些形容词来描述特定的名词:
Food: tasty; delicious
Furniture, buildings: comfortable; uncomfortable
People, animals: clever; intelligent; friendly
我们经常在特殊概念前用一个普遍的概念:
Nice tasty soup.
A nasty uncomfortable armchair
A lovely intelligent animal
Usually we put an adjective that gives an opinion in front of an adjective that is descriptive:
通常我们放一个描述性形容词在某个被描述的形容词前面
a nice red dress; a silly old man; those horribleyellow curtains
We often have two adjectives in front of a noun:
我们经常将两个形容词放在一个名词前面:
a handsome young man; a big black car; that horrible big dog
Sometimes we have three adjectives, but this is unusual:
有时候会用到三个形容词,但这是不太寻常的:
a nice handsome young man;
a big black American car;
that horrible big fierce dog
It is very unusual to have more than three adjectives.
Adjectives usually come in this order:
在英语中,当名词有多个形容词修饰时,就有它们的先后顺序。下面的口诀可帮你记住这一先后顺序,也是解题的关键。
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。
有些形容词只用在系动词后面:
一些最普通的以-ed结尾的形容词通常只用在系动词后面:
annoyed; finished; bored; pleased; thrilled
For example:Our teacher was ill.
My uncle was very glad when he heard the news.
The policeman seemed to be very annoyed
但我们不说:
We had an ill teacher.
When he heard the news he was a very glad uncle
He seemed to be a very annoyed policeman
有些形容词只用在名词前面:
我们可以说:
He lives in the eastern district.
There were countless problems with the new machinery.
但是不能说成:
The district he lives in is eastern
The problems with the new machinery were countless.
