上一期举出了10种名词修饰语,它们多数是出现在名词前面的单字单词。
这里要谈及另外两种很重要的名词修饰语:一种是形容词短语( adjective phrases);另一种是形容词从句(adjective clauses)。
形容词短语分介词短语(如例①)、现在分词短语(如例②)和过去分词短语(如例③):
① in the corner, on the table, from China, of great ability等,如: The books on the table are mine.
② standing on the platform, seeing the danger, hearing the noise等,如: Standing on the platform, the speaker looked nervous.
③ taken by surprise, awakened by the noise, frightened out of his wits等,如: Awakened by the noise, the baby cried.
就位置来说,介词短语紧随被修饰的名词,如:
④ The man in the corner looks pale.
⑤ The flowers in the vase are fading.
⑥ I have met many visitors from China.
现在分词短语由现在分词引导而出,可以在主语名词前面(如例 ⑦)或后面(如例⑧),也可以在宾语后面(如例⑨):
⑦ Looking at the gigantic stranger, the small girl cried.
⑧ Jim, seeing the danger, hurried home.
⑨ Can you see the fish swimming in the pool?
