过去分词作定语时应前置还是后置.docVIP

过去分词作定语时应前置还是后置一、单个过去分词作定语时的位置 1. 单个的过去分词作定语,原则上应放在被修饰的名词之前。如: She is a trained nurse. 她是一个受过训练的护士。 His troubled look frightened her. 他苦恼的表情使她惊恐。 Interested members will meet at two. 感兴趣的会员两点钟碰头。 Her job was to take care of the wounded soldier. 她的工作就是照料这个伤员。 2. 单个的过去分词作定语,有时习惯上要放在被修饰的名词之后(此时的过去分词通常是强调动作而非其性质或特征)。如: 我拿到了剩下的唯一的一张票。 误:I got the only left ticket. 正:I got the only ticket left. (left = that was left) 我们未能就所讨论的任何问题达成协议。 误:We couldn’t agree on any of the discussed problems. 正:We couldn’t agree on any of the problems discussed. (discussed = that were discussed) 被问及的人发表了很不一样的看法。 误:The questioned people gave very different opinions. 正:The people questioned gave very different opinions. (questioned = who were questioned) 被调查的人大都支持首相的决定。 误:The majority of polled people supported the Prime Minister’s decision. 正:The majority of people polled supported the Prime Minister’s decision. (polled = who were polled) 3. 过去分词修饰those时,通常要后置,表示“有关的那些人”的意思。如: Most of those questioned refused to answer. 被问及的那些人多数都拒绝回答问题。 Those selected will begin training on Monday. 被选上了的那些人将于星期一开始训练。 The authorities say they’ve now released all those detained. 当局说,他们现已释放了所有被拘留的人。 90% of those questioned felt uneasy about nuclear power. 百分之九十的被调查者都对核能感到忧虑。 Of those polled,seven out of ten said they preferred brown bread. 那些被调查者十人中有七人说他们比较爱吃黑面包。 More than 30 of those arrested were released from jail for lack of evidence. 因证据不足,被捕的人中有30多人从看守所里放了出来。 二、过去分词短语作定语时的位置 过去分词短语作定语,原则上应放在被修饰的名词之后。如: There is nothing written on it. 上面没写东西。 Here are the seats reserved for you. 这儿是给你们留的座位。 What was the name of the man arrested by the police? 警察逮捕的那个人叫什么名字? Most of the suggestions made at the meeting were not very practical. 会上提出的建议很多行不通。 三、前置与后置所导致的意思变化 有些过去分词用作前置定语和后置定语均可以,但是意思有所不同。如: 1. given用作前置定语时,表示“指定的”“特定的”“规定的”“事先安排好的”等;用作后置定语时,表示“被给予的”。如: They were to meet at a given time and place. 他们要在规定的时间
