慧学语法——在归纳演绎中学通
一、现在分词作定语的位置
单个的现在分词作定语,一般放在被修饰的名词之前,其作用相当于形容词;若被修饰的代词为those, something, everything, nothing等,则现在分词要放在其后。现在分词短语作定语一般放在被修饰词之后,且往往可转化为定语从句。
an exciting experience 一次令人兴奋的经历
He is reading something interesting.
他正在读有趣的内容。
The man sitting under a big tree is my uncle.
坐在大树下的人是我的叔叔。
The building being built now will be our dining hall.
=The building which is being built now will be our dining hall.
现在正在建造的建筑将会是我们的食堂。

(1)能前置的现在分词大都是已经被形容词化了的现在分词,它之前常有程度副词,甚至还有最高级等。常见的有:exciting, interesting, surprising, puzzling, frightening, amusing等。
He brought us an interesting book.
他给我们带来了一本有趣的书。
(2)现在分词的完成式(即having done/having been done)一般不作定语。
[正]The students who have seen the film are coming out of the cinema.
[误]The students having seen the film are coming out of the cinema.
看完电影的学生们正走出电影院。
二、现在分词和动名词作定语的区别
1.现在分词作定语时,它和被修饰词之间是逻辑上的主动关系,表示被修饰词正在进行的动作,相当于一个定语从句。
He rushed into the burning house.
=He rushed into the house which was burning.
他冲进着火的房子。
2.动名词作定语修饰名词,说明被修饰词的某种性能或用途,在意义上相当于“名词+for+doing”,一般放在被修饰词的前面。
a walking stick=a stick for walking 手杖
a sleeping car=a car for sleeping 卧铺车
三、现在分词、过去分词和不定式作定语的区别
现在分词表示主动、进行或习惯性的动作;过去分词表示被动或完成意义;不定式表示未发生的动作或通常发生的动作,一般放在被修饰词后面。
The boy playing in the yard is my younger brother.
正在院子里玩的那个男孩是我的弟弟。
