2018專八語法知識點(diǎn)后置定語精講
后置定語是英語和漢語中不可或缺的重要語法內(nèi)容之一,而英語后置定語在構(gòu)成上比漢語后置定語要更加多樣化,下面是小編整理的2018專八語法知識點(diǎn)后置定語精講,希望對大家有所幫助。
一.介詞短語作后置定語,如the bird in the tree(樹上的小鳥),the standard of living(生活水平),the way to the hotel(去旅館的路),the life in the future(未來的生活)。
二.不定式短語作后置定語,用來修飾限定其前的名詞或名詞性短語。分為以下三類:
1. 在某些名詞結(jié)構(gòu)中可用動詞不定式作后置定語。
I have a lot of homework to do.
He is the first to finish the task.
There are a lot of things to do.
2. 在某些抽象名詞后可用動詞不定式作后置定語,具體說明抽象名詞的內(nèi)容。常見名詞有ability, anxiety, attempt, decision, chance, courage, right, determination, promise, ambition, effort, drive, eagerness, failure, inclination, intention, movement, need, opportunity, plan, reason, struggle, time, way, wish等。例句:
He has the ability to do the work.
I don’t have the courage to tell you the secret.
3. 動詞不定式有時可替代一個定語從句,與其前修飾的名詞是主動關(guān)系,在時態(tài)上含有將來的含義。例如:
Perhaps in the years to come(=that will come),we will meet again.
In the lectures to follow(=that will follow), she talked about her trip to China.
三、分詞短語作后置定語。這時一般可以改寫為定語從句,現(xiàn)在分詞作后置定語與修飾的名詞是主動關(guān)系,過去分詞作后置定語與修飾的名詞是被動關(guān)系。例如,
S1:There is a lady waiting for you.=There is a lady who waits for you.
S2:What is the language spoken in China?=What is the language which is spoken in China?
S1中,lady和wait之間是主動關(guān)系,S2中,language與spoken之間是被動關(guān)系。
我們在寫作時,為了讓句子結(jié)構(gòu)更為高級,或是達(dá)到句式多樣的目的,常用分詞短語作后置定語來代替定語從句。如在2012年的考研英語作文中,我們在描圖表示兩個人對同樣的半瓶水表現(xiàn)出不同的態(tài)度時,可以說:As is shown in the picture, there is a contrast between two men facing the same problem with half a bottle of water. 在這個英語句子中,我們用現(xiàn)在分詞短語作men的后置定語,相當(dāng)于定語從句who face the same problem with half a bottle of water. 再如,在表達(dá)一個人眉頭緊縮,因?yàn)樗隽税l(fā)出嘆息,可以說:The one frowning in anxiety is sighing because the water is spoilt out of the bottle。此句中,現(xiàn)在分詞短語作one的后置定語,相當(dāng)于從句who frowns in anxiety。用現(xiàn)在分詞短語代替從句可以使句式更簡短,句型也更為高級,更加豐富,同時也顯示出考生深厚的語法功底。
