v-ing形式作定語(yǔ)
1. 單個(gè)的v-ing形式可以作前置定語(yǔ),表示所修飾的人或物的動(dòng)作或狀態(tài),在意思上接近一個(gè)定語(yǔ)從句,可以表示正在進(jìn)行的動(dòng)作,也可表示經(jīng)常性動(dòng)作或當(dāng)時(shí)的狀態(tài)。
developing countries = countries that are developing 發(fā)展中國(guó)家
an ordinary-looking house = a house that looks ordinary 看起來很普通的房子
a puzzling problem = a problem that puzzles somebody 困擾人的問題
2. 作定語(yǔ)的v-ing形式如是一個(gè)短語(yǔ),則應(yīng)放在被修飾詞的后面。
The bottle containing vinegar should be sent to the laboratory.
裝著醋的那個(gè)瓶子應(yīng)送到實(shí)驗(yàn)室去
They lived in a house facing south. 他們住在一所朝南的房子里。
3. 某些情況下,定語(yǔ)不能用v-ing形式,必須用定語(yǔ)從句。
① 作定語(yǔ)的動(dòng)詞-ing形式表示的動(dòng)作要與主句謂語(yǔ)的動(dòng)作同時(shí)發(fā)生,如兩者不能同時(shí)發(fā)生的話,則需使用定語(yǔ)從句。
昨天來的教授將要給我們作一個(gè)講座。
【誤】The professor coming here yesterday will give us a lecture.
【正】The professor who came here yesterday will give us a lecture.
② v-ing形式的完成式一般只用作狀語(yǔ),不作定語(yǔ)。
被地震毀壞的廟宇很快就要重建了。
【誤】The temple having been destroyed by the earthquake will be rebuilt soon.
【正】The temple which has been destroyed by the earthquake will be rebuilt soon.
v-ed形式作定語(yǔ)
1. 單個(gè)動(dòng)詞-ed形式作定語(yǔ)一般放在被修飾的名詞之前,作前置定語(yǔ)。
A watched pot never boils. 心急鍋不開。
All the broken doors and windows have been repaired.所有的壞門窗都修好了。
When we arrived, we each were given a printed question paper.
我們到達(dá)的時(shí)候,每人被發(fā)給了一份印制好的試卷。
提 示 如要表示強(qiáng)調(diào),單個(gè)動(dòng)詞-ed形式也可作后置定語(yǔ)。
Money spent is more than money earned. 入不敷出。
2. 帶有修飾語(yǔ)或其他成分的v-ed形式一般都作后置定語(yǔ),在語(yǔ)法上相當(dāng)于一個(gè)定語(yǔ)從句。
We have read many novels written by this author.
(= that are written by this author) 我們讀過這個(gè)作家寫的許多小說。

(= who was dressed like a lawyer)
一個(gè)律師裝扮的女人走了進(jìn)來,并作為法官就座。
v-ing 和v-ed形式作定語(yǔ)的區(qū)別
1.及物動(dòng)詞的-ing形式作定語(yǔ)表示與被修飾名詞是主動(dòng)關(guān)系,及物動(dòng)詞的-ed 形式表示與被修飾名詞是被動(dòng)關(guān)系。
The group called Green Hand is trying to help the environment.
The group calling itself Green Hand is trying to help the environment.
2.不及物動(dòng)詞-ing形式表示動(dòng)詞正在進(jìn)行,而v-ed形式表示動(dòng)作已完成。

boiling water正沸騰的水 boiled water開水
falling leaves正在飄落的葉子 fallen leaves落葉
changing condition變化著的情況 changed condition改變了的情況
developing countries發(fā)展中國(guó)家 developed countries發(fā)達(dá)國(guó)家
不及物動(dòng)詞-ed形式只表示完成的意義,并不帶有被動(dòng)的含義。
an escaped prisoner = a prisoner who has escaped 逃犯
a retired worker = a worker who has retired 退休工人
a newly arrived guest = a guest who has just arrived 新來的客人
【考例1】 There have been several new events __ _ to the program for the 2008 Beijing Olympic Games.(06年北京卷) A. add B. to add C. adding D. added
解析 D。本題考查非謂語(yǔ)動(dòng)詞作定語(yǔ)用法,題干部分可改寫為:There have been several new events (that have been) added to the program for the 2008 Beijing Olympic Games.
【考例2】 Five people won the “China’s Green Figure” award, a title ___ to ordinary people for their contribution to environmental protection.(06年山東卷)
A. being given B. is given C. given D. was given
解析 C。題中a title是award的同位語(yǔ),后接非謂語(yǔ)動(dòng)詞短語(yǔ)作定語(yǔ),因此可排除B,D兩項(xiàng)。選項(xiàng)動(dòng)詞give與名詞title之間是被動(dòng)關(guān)系,且根據(jù)句意,give并非表示正在進(jìn)行,因此用過去分詞作定語(yǔ)。答案為C。
l As adverbs
v-ing形式作狀語(yǔ)
動(dòng)詞-ing形式可以作狀語(yǔ),修飾動(dòng)詞,其動(dòng)作執(zhí)行者與句子主語(yǔ)是主動(dòng)一致。在句中表示時(shí)間、原因、結(jié)果、條件、讓步、行為方式或伴隨情況等。動(dòng)詞-ing形式作時(shí)間、原因、條件、讓步狀語(yǔ)時(shí)多位于句首;作結(jié)果、伴隨情況狀語(yǔ)時(shí)常位于句末。

= ...and stared at the sky for a long time
v-ed形式作狀語(yǔ)
動(dòng)詞-ed形式作狀語(yǔ)和動(dòng)詞-ing形式作狀語(yǔ)一樣,也可以表示時(shí)間、原因、條件、讓步、方式或伴隨情況等。但其動(dòng)作執(zhí)行者與句子主語(yǔ)是被動(dòng)一致。
1 動(dòng)詞-ed形式作狀語(yǔ)表示時(shí)間,相當(dāng)于一個(gè)時(shí)間狀語(yǔ)從句。
Seen from the tower, the city looks beautiful.
(= When the city is seen from the tower...)
Completely examined by the doctors, he went back to school right away.
(= After he was completely examined...)
有時(shí)動(dòng)詞-ed形式前可加連詞when, while等來強(qiáng)調(diào)時(shí)間概念。

一恢復(fù)健康,他就全力以赴地干起了工作。

2 動(dòng)詞-ed形式作狀語(yǔ)表示原因,相當(dāng)于一個(gè)原因狀語(yǔ)從句。

(= Since they were moved by the heroic deeds ...)

(= Because we were excited by...)
3 動(dòng)詞-ed形式作狀語(yǔ)表示條件,相當(dāng)于一個(gè)條件狀語(yǔ)從句。
Heated, water changes into steam. (= If water is heated...)
Given more time, he would be able to do better. (= If he was given more time ...)

4 動(dòng)詞-ed形式作狀語(yǔ)表示讓步,相當(dāng)于一個(gè)though/although引導(dǎo)的讓步狀語(yǔ)從句。
Exhausted by the running, they went on running after the robber.
(= Although they were exhausted by the running ...)

(= Even if he was laughed by ...)
為了使-ed形式表示的條件、動(dòng)詞讓步意義更加明顯,我們可以加上適當(dāng)?shù)倪B詞。
Even if invited, I won't go. 即使受到邀請(qǐng),我也不去。

5 動(dòng)詞-ed形式作狀語(yǔ)表示行為方式、伴隨情況或補(bǔ)充說明時(shí),通常位于句子的后面,相當(dāng)于一個(gè)并列分句。

【考例3】When ___ _ different cultures, we often pay attention only to the differences without noticing the many similarities. (06年浙江卷)
A. compared B. being compared C. comparing D. having compared
解析 C。選項(xiàng)動(dòng)詞compare與句子主語(yǔ)之間是主動(dòng)關(guān)系,根據(jù)語(yǔ)意選項(xiàng)動(dòng)詞并非發(fā)生在謂語(yǔ)動(dòng)詞之前,所以用現(xiàn)在分詞的一般式的主動(dòng)語(yǔ)態(tài)作狀語(yǔ),表示時(shí)間。正確答案為C。
【考例4】 ___ for the breakdown of the school computer network, Alice was in low spirits.(06年福建卷) A. Blaming B. Blamed C. To blame D. To be blamed
解析 B。blame sb. for sth.意為因某事責(zé)怪某人,題中blame與主語(yǔ)之間是被動(dòng)關(guān)系,所以用過去分詞作狀語(yǔ),表示原因。 注意:在英語(yǔ)中有些表示說話人態(tài)度的分詞結(jié)構(gòu)已成為固定用語(yǔ),不遵循其邏輯主語(yǔ)與句子一致的原則。如:generally speaking總的來說;judging from根據(jù)……判斷; speaking of說到……;talking of談到……;considering考慮到。
