过去分词
1.过去分词(短语)作定语
(1)单个的过去分词常放在被修饰的词前面,作前置定语,与被修饰词之
间通常是逻辑上的被动关系,也可以表示动作已经完成。
cooked food熟食
spoken English英语口语
但是有的过去分词作定语时既不表示被动,也不表示完成,而表示一种状
态,如lost(迷路的;丢失的),retired(退休的)等。
the lost child丢失的孩子
the retired people退休的人们
(2)过去分词短语作定语,通常放在被修饰词的后面,作后置定语,相当于
一个定语从句,与被修饰词之间是逻辑上的被动关系。
The man named Tom (who is named Tom)is my uncle.
名叫汤姆的那个人是我的叔叔。
The topic discussed just now (=which was discussed just now)is very puzzling.
刚刚讨论的这个话题很令人费解。
The girl dressed in red (=who is dressed in red)is my daughter.
穿红衣服的女孩是我的女儿。(表状态)
温馨提示:
非谓语动词与其逻辑主语之间存在被动关系时,用被动形式。下面我们
来看一下过去分词(done)、现在分词的被动式(being done)、不定式的被
动式(to be done)之间的区别。
done表示被动、完成
being done表示正在进行的被动
to be done表示将来的被动

keep,turn,get等连系动词之后,构成系表结构。
The glass is broken.杯子碎了。
I felt pleased with the news.这个消息使我很高兴。
(2)有些过去分词表示主语所处的状态或主观心理感受,作用相当于形容
词。常见的这样的词有:interested,inspired,pleased,disturbed,satisfied,
confused,astonished,bored,amused,convinced

(1)过去分词(短语)作状语的含义和基本用法
过去分词(短语)在句子中可以作时间状语、原因状语、条件状语、让步状
语或伴随状语等。作状语的过去分词表示被动或完成的动作,相当于一
个状语从句。过去分词作状语时,其逻辑主语与主句的主语保持一致。

(2)过去分词(短语)作状语和现在分词(短语)作状语的区别
分词作状语时,其逻辑主语和主句的主语保持一致。过去分词(短语)作
状语时,分词表示的动作和主语之间是逻辑上的被动关系;现在分词(短
语)作状语时,分词表示的动作和主语之间是逻辑上的主动关系。

示正在被进行的动作;现在分词的完成被动式having been done表示动作
是被动且在主句动作之前完成。
