一、基本形式
過(guò)去分詞的基本形式是“動(dòng)詞+ ed”,但也可以有不規(guī)則的形式。不規(guī)則動(dòng)詞的過(guò)去分詞沒有統(tǒng)一的構(gòu)成規(guī)則,要逐個(gè)記住。過(guò)去分詞一般只有一種形式,但少數(shù)過(guò)去分詞有兩種不同的形式。如:
born 生, borne負(fù)擔(dān),生
got 得到,gotten得到的
hung懸掛,hanged絞死
lit燃著,lighted燃著的
rotted被腐爛,rotten腐爛的
struck被打擊,stricken被打擊的
sunk陷下,sunken陷下的
二、語(yǔ)法意義
1. 由及物動(dòng)詞構(gòu)成的過(guò)去分詞通常表示被動(dòng)和完成的意義。如:
the injured worker = the worker who had been injured
2. 少數(shù)具有持續(xù)意義的動(dòng)詞的過(guò)去分詞只有被動(dòng)意義,無(wú)完成意義。這類動(dòng)詞一般做定語(yǔ)用。如:
Both spoken English and written English are very important.
3. 由不及物動(dòng)詞構(gòu)成的過(guò)去分詞不含被動(dòng)的意義,只含主動(dòng)的完成意義。
the risen sun = the sun that has risen
4. 過(guò)去分詞的否定式通常是由 not加過(guò)去分詞構(gòu)成的。
三、句法功能
過(guò)去分詞在句中可以做表語(yǔ)、定語(yǔ)、賓語(yǔ)補(bǔ)足語(yǔ)或狀語(yǔ)。
做表語(yǔ)
過(guò)去分詞做表語(yǔ)時(shí),說(shuō)明主語(yǔ)所處的狀態(tài)。如:
The boy became very interested in science. 這孩子對(duì)科學(xué)很感興趣。
The door remained locked. 門仍然鎖著。
注意:
1. 過(guò)去分詞做表語(yǔ),相當(dāng)于形容詞,常見的有:delighted, disappointed, discouraged, drunk, puzzled, married, satisfied, surprised, interested, worried, tired, crowded 等。
2. 有些過(guò)去分詞用做表語(yǔ)時(shí),構(gòu)成的謂語(yǔ)很接近被動(dòng)語(yǔ)態(tài)。
被動(dòng)結(jié)構(gòu)表示動(dòng)作,句子的主語(yǔ)為動(dòng)作的對(duì)象;系表結(jié)構(gòu)則說(shuō)明主語(yǔ)所處的狀態(tài),其中的過(guò)去分詞已形容詞化。因此被動(dòng)語(yǔ)態(tài)可以有各種時(shí)態(tài),而系表結(jié)構(gòu)中的be只有一般和完成時(shí)態(tài)。如:
The children were dressed and taken out for a walk.? (被動(dòng))
The children were well dressed. (系表)
I tapped the window and the door was opened. (被動(dòng))
When I came, the door was opened. (系表)
做定語(yǔ)
做定語(yǔ)用的過(guò)去分詞如果是單詞,一般放在被修飾詞的前面(前置定語(yǔ));過(guò)去分詞短語(yǔ)做定語(yǔ),則放在被修飾詞的后面(后置定語(yǔ))。如:
This is a broken car. 這是一輛破車。
This is a book written by a worker. 這是一本工人寫的書。
做賓語(yǔ)補(bǔ)足語(yǔ)
做賓語(yǔ)補(bǔ)足語(yǔ)的過(guò)去分詞說(shuō)明賓語(yǔ)的狀態(tài),與賓語(yǔ)一起構(gòu)成復(fù)合賓語(yǔ)。如:
They prefer the books mailed to them. 他們希望把書郵寄給他們。
I often hear the song sung in English. 我常聽人用英語(yǔ)唱這首歌。
做狀語(yǔ)
過(guò)去分詞或過(guò)去分詞短語(yǔ)做狀語(yǔ),修飾謂語(yǔ),說(shuō)明動(dòng)作發(fā)生的背景或情況,表示原因、時(shí)間、條件和方式等。
1. 表示原因。如:
Built of steel, this machine has a greater strength. 由于這臺(tái)機(jī)器是用鋼造的,它具有更大的強(qiáng)度。
2. 表示時(shí)間。如:
Seen from the hill, the park looks very beautiful.? 從山上看這個(gè)公園非常漂亮。
3. 表示條件。如:
Given more time, we could do it much better. 多給點(diǎn)時(shí)間,我們會(huì)做得更好些。
4. 表示方式。如:
The children headed toward school, followed by their dogs. 孩子們朝學(xué)校走去,后面跟著他們的狗。
注意:
⑴ 名詞化的過(guò)去分詞
某些過(guò)去分詞前可帶定冠詞做名詞用,表示具有這種動(dòng)作或狀態(tài)的人或物。這種結(jié)構(gòu)實(shí)際上可以看作是過(guò)去分詞做定語(yǔ)時(shí)省略了名詞的結(jié)果。如 the wounded (soldiers), the exploited (people) 等。這種結(jié)構(gòu)在句子中可以做主語(yǔ)和賓語(yǔ)。如:
The nurses are taking care of the wounded. 護(hù)士們正在護(hù)理傷員。
The handicapped need our help. 殘疾人需要我們的幫助。
⑵ 過(guò)去分詞的獨(dú)立結(jié)構(gòu)
過(guò)去分詞與其主語(yǔ)可構(gòu)成一種獨(dú)立結(jié)構(gòu)。過(guò)去分詞的獨(dú)立主語(yǔ)常由名詞或代詞主格擔(dān)任,一般置于過(guò)去分詞之前。過(guò)去分詞的獨(dú)立結(jié)構(gòu)常用作狀語(yǔ)。如:
She lay on her back, her hands crossed under her head. 她臉朝上,頭枕著手躺著。
過(guò)去分詞是一種非限定性動(dòng)詞,其兼有動(dòng)詞、副詞和形容詞的特征,可以帶賓語(yǔ)或受狀語(yǔ)修飾。過(guò)去分詞和賓語(yǔ)或狀語(yǔ)一起構(gòu)成過(guò)去分詞短語(yǔ)。
