1、Unit 1充当定语的有:形容词、代词、名词、分词、介词短语或副词和从句.定语定义英语句子中修饰名词,代词或其它名词化了词的句子成分叫定语。定语的位置一般有两种:用在所修饰词之前的叫前置定语,用在所修饰词之后的叫后置定语。单词作定语时通常放在它所修饰的词之前,作前置定语。短语和从句作定语时则放在所修饰的词之后,作后置定语。在英语里,一般定语前置时的次序为:限定词,形容词、分词、动名词和名词性定语。但当几个形容词同时出现在名词短语之前,我们要注意其次序。其形容词遵循的词序为:限观形龄色国材,指:限定词(一般指数量);外观(美丽等);形状(大小,高矮,肥瘦);年龄;颜色;国籍;材料;用途。如:一
2、定语前置如:a famous American universityan interesting little red Frenchoil paintinga new plastic bucketpurple velvet curtainsan elegant German clock1)描述身体特征的形容词先于表示情感和性格特征的形容词例如:a small lovely girl,a long patient queue,a pale anxious patient;2)2)表示颜色的形容词放在表示情感和性格特征的形容词之后例如:a kindly black teacher,an inqui
3、sitive brown dog;另外,有些形容词也有特殊的次序:3)little,old 和young 有时可以作为名词短语不可分割的一部分,所以可以直接放在名词之前,例如:a lovely little girl 表示性格特征的形容词可以放在old young 之前,也可放在old young 之后,例如:a young ambitious man(强调年龄),an ambitious young man(强调雄心勃勃)。当然,三个以上形容词连用作定语,就显得累赘,因此上面所说的情况一般较少出现。It was a conference fruitful of results.那是一个硕果累
4、累的会议。He gave me a basket full of eggs.他给我一个装满鸡蛋的篮子。二 定语后置(1)短语作定语一般后置(English is a language easy to learn but difficult to master.英语是一门容易学但是难精通的语言。The boys hardest to teach are all in his class.最难教的男生都在他的班里了。Lets go somewhere quiet.咱们去找个安静一点的地方吧。There is nothing important in todays paper.今天报纸上没有什么重要
5、的东西。Do you have anything more to say?你还有什么话要说吗?(2)修饰some,any,no,every等词构成的不定代词的定语都后置 The people here are very friendly.这里的人很友好。They lived in the room above.他们住在楼上的房间。(3)副词作定语 He is a person dependable.他是一个可以依靠的人This is the only transportation means available.这是唯一可行的交通工具。(4)动词、名词转化而来的以-able,-ible结尾的形
6、容词作定语1 Everybody involved should stay here.2 The college mentioned.(5)起强调用的单个分词1 Fill in the blanks with the words in the _.A.above box B.below box C.box above D.under boxC above副词作定语应后置。2“Can you find the _”?said the policeman to the little boy.A.way back home B.home way back C.back home way D.back
7、 way homeA back副词作定语应后置。3 There wasnt _ in the managers speech.It was boring.A.interesting anything B.something interesting C.anything of interesting D.anything of interestD 作定语用的短语of interest修饰不定代词时要后置。这个句子是否定句,因此选项B不对。4 Mr Scott is one of the _ after the terrible earthquake in that village.A.alive
8、 survivors B.live survivors C.survivors alive D.living survivorsC 部分以a-开头的表语形容词有时也可作定语,但须后置。5 Yesterday,a Mr Brown,_,came to visit you.A.28-year-old B.28 years old C.28-years-old D.of 28 year oldB 作定语用的形容词与表示度量的短语连用时要后置。但复合形容词28-year-old只能作前置定语。英语里有大量的定语从句,而汉语里却没有定语从句的说法。英语中定语从句中甚至还可能包含定语从句,即多重定语从句。
9、定语从句如:A healthy diet includes enough but not too many kinds of foods that provide the body with the nutrients that it needs to function properly.(健康的饮食包括的食物应该充足但又不过多。这些食物提供身体正常活动所必需的营养)1)英语的复合句中,分句以其主句为基干,通过连接手段,一层一层地展开,就好像一棵树的树干上长出大枝子,大枝子上再长出小枝子。汉语的分句则更多按照时间发生的顺序出现,依次展开。如:“伟大领袖和导师毛主席领导中国共产党进行了艰苦卓绝的
10、斗争,建立了新中国,人民得到了解放,科学得到了解放。”这句话,译成英语便成了With the founding of new China(which was)born of arduous struggles(which were)waged by the Chinese Communist Party(which was)under the leadership of our great leader and teacher Chairman Mao,our people,and science as well,won emancipation.2)英语中的非限制性定语从句所表达的信息,在汉
