101、表示被动和完成，但一般不用作定语，主要作状语，现就现在分词的被动完成式与过去分词作状语，作如下对比：现在分词的被动完成式表示先于谓语动词而发生的被动动作，而过去分词所表示的动作，有时发生在谓语动词所表示的动作之前，有时与谓语动词所表示的动作同时发生，有时表示未来的被动动作或状态。例如：(Having been)Used for a long time,the watch needs to be mended.用了很长时间，这块表需要修理。Used in this way,the word shouldnt be taken as a verb.如果这样用，这个词不能用作动词。15.The qu

142、a US youth soap(肥 皂 剧)like Gossip Girl you may have heard a character make use of the slang(俚语)term“like”.A teenage girl criticized by her parents might say to them in protest(抗议),“Thats,like,so unfair.”The transfer of the use of such informal language to the UK has British actress Emma Thompson up
143、in arms.In an interview she told reporters:“Young people make themselves sound stupid by speaking slang outside of school.”She is so angry when she hears someone say“like”or“innit”isnt it?she feels“insane”(荒唐的).Thompson thinks young people need to return to“proper English”.But John Ayto,editor of th
