他是那些被邀请的人之一。
Is there anything unsolved?还有什么(问题)没有解决吗?
【警示】过去分词作定语可以置于被修饰的名词之前,亦可置其后,但都表示被动意义。主动意义往往用现在分词。但英语中有很多与感觉有关的及物动词,其现在分词表示主动意义,即“令人有某种感觉”,现在分词与中心词构成逻辑上的主谓关系;其过去分词含有被动意味,即“人被引起某种感觉”。如:moving(令人感动的)和moved(受感动的);frightening(吓人的)和frightened(受惊吓的);pleasing(令人高兴的)和pleased(高兴的;满意的);encouraging(令人鼓舞的)和encouraged(受鼓舞的);exciting(令人兴奋的;激动人心的)和excited(兴奋的;激动的)。

【应用】单项选择。
(1)Prices of daily goods through a computer can be much lower than store prices.
A.are bought B.bought
C.been bought D.buying
答案:B 由于货物和购买存在逻辑上的被动关系,因而用过去分词。句意:“通过网上购买的日常用品的价格比商店价格低得多。”
(2) Most of the artists to the party were from South Africa.
A.invited
B.to invite
C.being invited
D.had been invited
答案:A 此处艺术家和邀请存在逻辑上的被动关系,因而用过去分词。句意:“大部分被邀请到聚会上的艺术家都是来自南非。”

【举例】It's ten minutes' walk,more or less.
大约步行10分钟的路程。

②当主语是表示“人口的百分之几、几分之几”时,谓语动词
③有时population可用作可数名词,其前可用不定冠词。
④表示人口的“多”或“少”,不用“much”或“little”,而要用“large”或“small”。
⑤询问某国、某地有多少人口时,不用“How much...?”,而用“How large...?”;在问具体人口时用“What...?”。
