英语形容词的修饰顺序口诀(你不知道形容词放在句中哪个位置)(2)

逻辑支持

名词的重要性不言而喻,在英语十大词类(介冠形名代 情副动数连 )中名词跟其它词类到底有什么样的关系是需要了解的。

名词短语中的形容词是表达名词属性的形容词,跟名词的关系特点紧密,而补语位置的形容词大多表达名词暂时性的特点和状态。汉语中我们也同样用这种思维在表达,看完这章节,你会豁然开朗。

补语位置的形容词大多考查比较级,和than连用;单独考查最高级也常见。

形容词和副词本身就是表达相对的概念(高矮胖瘦、轻重缓急 ),所以它们会有比较级和最高级。


补语位置的形容词概述

形容词出现在句子中的位置除了在名词短语中修饰中心名词外还可以出现在补语(表语)位置,用来说明主语的状态或特征

名词短语中的形容词叫做attributive adjectives,用来表达该名词的属(attribute)。补语位置的形容词叫做predicative adjectives,用来补述(predicate)关于名词的事项。补语位置的形容词距离名词最远,经常用来对名词作一些临时性、补充性的叙述,与表示属性的attributive adjectives在语气上颇不相同。

John is sick today and couldn’t come to work. (predication)今天约翰生病,不能来上班。

John is a sick man. (attributive)约翰是个病人。

第一个句子中sick放在补语位置来形容John,是用来对John做一个叙述(predication),其内容可以是暂时性的。也就是说,过了今天John很肯能就好了,能上班了。

第二个句子中sick放在名词短语中,来交代属于中心名词“man”的一个属性(attribute),语气是比较永久性的。换句话说,这个“有病的人”可能病得不轻,短时间还好不了。
