一、传统的观点许多参考书认为:-ing形容词与表示事物的名词连用,-ed形容词与表示人的名词连用。此说法在很多情况下是可行的,但表述欠准确,在许多情况下却是不可靠的。如-ing 形容词用于人的情况就比比皆是:假若你的老师说话幽默、讲课生动,那么不仅他的课非常interesting,而且你会说他是一个 interesting man(有趣的人)。 比较:
I’m interested in interesting people. 我对有趣的人感兴趣。
He was worried about his worrying son. 他为他令人担忧的儿子感到担忧。 He was annoyed with the annoying person. 他对这个讨厌的人很生气。 另一方面,-ed 形容词用于指物的情况也不少见。比较并体会: a frightened look 害怕的表情(指带有这种“表情”的人感到害怕) a frightening look 吓人的表情(指这种“表情”令人害怕) an excited talk 心情激动的谈话(指“谈话”的人心情激动) an exciting talk 令人激动的谈话(指听“谈话”的人心情激动)
由于传统的观点说得太绝对,有时做起题来还可能会因此掉入命题人的陷阱,请看下面一题 :
_____ do you think of your English teacher? Is he _______? A. What, interesting B. What, interestedC. How, interesting D. How, interested
此题考查两方面的知识点:一是考查what do you think of…与how do you like…的用法区别(两者搭配不同,但意思相同);二是考查interesting与interested的用法区别。若套用以上关于-ing形容词与-ed形容词的区别,则可能将答案锁定为D。但是错了,此题的最佳答案应是A。
二、正确的观点关于-ing形容词与-ed形容词的区别,比较准确的表述应该是:
1. 以后缀 –ed结尾的形容词(如ashamed, delighted, excited, frightened, interested, moved, pleased, surprised, worried等)通常用于说明人,不用于说明事物,即使它们所修饰的名词是事物,那它们指的也是与该事物相关的人。如: He had a pleased smile on his face. 他脸上露出了满意的微笑。
He told me the news in a very excited voice. 他声音很激动地告诉了我这个消息。 第一句中的a pleased smile 意为“满意的微笑”,它指的是某人因感到满意发出的微笑; 第二句中的 a very excited voice 指的是“很激动的声音”,即指的是某人因很激动而发生那样的声音。 原则上,-ed 形容词通常直接用于说明人,若修饰事物,则多为 air(神态), appearance(外貌), cry(哭声), face(表情), voice(声音), mood(情绪)<'Times New Roman'\">), mood(等显示某人的情感状况的名词。
2. 以后缀 -ing 结尾的形容词(如delighting, exciting, frightening, interesting, moving, surprising, worrying 等)主要用于说明事物,表示事物的性质或特征,若用它们说明人,则表示此人具有此性质或特征。如:
The story is very interesting. 这个故事很有趣。 The man is very interesting. 这个人很有趣。
请再比较并体会以下句子:
He is frightened. 他很害怕。He is frightening. 他很吓人。 He has a frightened look on his face. 他脸上带有惊恐的神情。 He has a frightening look on his face. 他脸上带有吓人的神情。
I read an interested expression on his face. 我看到他脸上露出一种感兴趣的表情。 I read an interesting expression on his face. 我看到他脸上露出一种有趣的表情。 三、学练结合请做做以下试题,看你是否能克服原来的思维定势,能否跳出命题人的陷阱: 1. Laws that punish parents for their little children’s actions against the laws get parents _____. A. worried B. to worried C. worrying D. worry
2. The little boy isn’t getting on well in maths and worse still, he is even unwilling to go to school. With her son _____, she feels very ______.

A. tired; tired B. tired; tiring C. tiring; tired D. tiring; tiring
5. Poor boy! His________ looks and ________hands suggested he was very afraid.A. frightful; trembling B. frightened; trembling
C. frightening; trembled D. frightened; trembly 答案与解析:
1. 选A。句中的that punish…the law是定语从句。句意是:因为他们小孩的违法行为而惩罚其父母,这样的法律使得做父母的感到忧虑。表示人“感到忧虑的”用由过去分词转换而来的形容词。
2. 选B。句意是:由于她的儿子令人失望,她感到非常烦恼。表示“令人……的”用 -ing 形容词;表示“感到……的”用 -ed形容词。
3. 选A。此题一方面考查形容词作状语(。此题一方面考查形容词作状语(当形容词用作状语时,表示意义上的增补,和句子主语在逻辑上有主谓关系),另一方面考查形容词tiring与tired的用法区别,此处填tired表示“人感到疲惫的”,即选A。。
4. 选C。第一空填tiring,表示“使人劳累的”;第二空填tired,表示“感到劳累的”。 5. 选B。第一空填frightened,其意为“感到害怕的”;第二空填trembling表示动作的进行。也就是说,frightened说明主语因……而产生的情绪反应,从而影响到人的身体部位……trembling。

1.形容词的用法和位置
1)形容词作表语,表明主语的性质和特征,放在连系动词之后。如: Computers are very useful in our everyday life. Leaves turn yellow in autumn.
2)形容词作定语,修饰名词或不定代词,通常放在名词之前,不定代词之后。如: This is an unhealthy diet.
There is nothing important in today’s newspaper.
3)形容词作宾语补足语,放在宾语之后,与其构成复合宾语。如: You should keep your classroom clean and tidy. I found it difficult to get on well with the manager.
2.副词的用法和位置
1)副词修饰动词、形容词或其他副词,表示动作、状态的特征或某种性质的程度。根据其用途与含义,副词可分为下列六大类:
(1)时间副词。常用的有:ago,before,now,then,soon,already,yet等。
(2)地点副词。常用的有:here,there,up,down,above,below,inside,outside等。
(3)疑问副词。常见的有:where,when,why,how等。
(4)程度副词。常见的有:very,much,so,too,quite,enough等。
(5)方式副词。多由“形容词+ly”后缀构成。如:carefully,quickly,easily,quietly等。 (6)频度副词。常用的有:always,often,sometimes,usually,hardly,never等。 2)副词在句中主要用作状语。也可充当定语、表语等。如: It’s snowing heavily outside.(状语,修饰动词) I have never heard such a beautiful voice.(状语,修饰动词) unluckily, he failed in this physics exam again.(状语,修饰整个句子) He was too excited to say a word.(状语,修饰形容词) Class is over.(表语)

3)程度副词通常位于被修饰的形容词副词之前,但enough则要放在后面。如: It was much more freezing today than yesterday. He ran so fast that I couldn’t catch up with him. We got up early enough to catch the first bus.
4)频度副词通常位于行为动词之前,be动词、助动词和情态动词之后,但一般不放在句末。如:
I have never been late for class. You must always work like that.
5)几个副词同时出现时,其顺序一般为:方式副词+地点副词+时间副词(也可位于句首)。 我爱你,不光因为你的样子,还因为和你在一起时我的样子; 我爱你,不光因为你为我而做的事,还因为为了你我能做成的事; 我爱你,因为你能唤出我最真的那部分, 我心里最美丽的地方被你的光芒照得通亮。
为你,我愿意成为最美好,换掉之前所有旧的生命,
在黑暗中,解读着星辰与月亮,愿生命中的每一秒都与你相守。 明天,未来,永远,无可救药的爱着你。 So I think we’ve said all there is to be said
All the words keep bouncing around in my head
Oh I feel so numb Please just take me home Seems like all the talking it took us nowhere All I really want is the touch of your hand
I won’t speak a sound If you take me home If you hold me close Words have lost their meaning
Silence is our haven I love you more You and me Skin to skin So it all begins
If I start to scream from the top of my lungs It would make no difference I’d still be alone
It would leave you numb The words would echo on
Rockets can be flown all the way to the moon So much we can do yet we fail to get through
To one another me and you A traffic jam of words
Can’t move forward, can’t reverse Words have lost their meaning Silence is our haven I love you more You and me Skin to skin So it all begins
oh, what can i say it's written in our ears, eyes, and minds since we came upon well.
it's not make believing we are so far apart so different in our beating hearts
* looking for the answers only find more questions to say the least my quest looks os very for
oh, why we are heare tell me, why we're not have we gone too far or not enough my body is bleeding but my eyes are going blind you say my thouhtsare misleading take away my freedom
and give me a reason to live i'm just young enough You and me Skin to skin So it all begins Words have lost their meaning Silence is our haven I love you more
Silence it will save us Making room for our love Yes it will You and me Skin to skin So it all begins
