考研英语语法小攻略作定语的形容词形容词是考研常用的,也是常考的内容之一,有哪些小技巧可以提高解题正确率呢?今天先从作定语的形容词学起来吧~下面跟随小编一起来学习一下吧。
NO.1
绝大部分形容词既可作定语又可作表语,但少数形容词只能作定语,放在名词前,常见的有: daily,weekly,monthly,former,latter,woolen,wooden;
也有少数形容词只能作表语,置于be后,这些表语形容词一般以字母a开头。
如:afraid alive alone alike ashamedawake aware asleep afire
NO.2
作定语的形容词一般用作前置修饰语,但在下列情况中,形容词作后置定语
(1)名词词组的中心词为some,any,no等构成的合成词。
例句:I'd say whenever you are going after something belonging to you, anyone who is depriving you of the right to have it is criminal.
分析:该句是复合句,从句who is depriving you of the right to have it作anyone的定语,whenever you are going after something belonging to you作say的宾语从句中的状语。
译文:我想说无论什么时候当你追求某种属于你的东西时,任何想剥夺你拥有它的权利的人都是在犯罪。
(2)带有不定式、介词短语等的形容词短语。
(3)某些形容词作后置定语。
present,available,involved,concerned,martial(军事的),general,proper等作后置定语,如:
the member present (出席的成员)
court martial (军事法庭)
Secretary General (秘书长)
例句:I was unaware of the critical points involved, so my choice was quite arbitrary.
分析:该句是复合句。
译文:我没有意识到问题的关键所在,因此我的抉择十分武断。
NO.3
表度量的形容词。
例句:There is a heavily polluted river 100 meters long in front of our small playground.
分析:该句是简单句。heavily表污染程度。
译文:我们小操场前有一条长100米被严重污染的河。
NO.4
形容词并列用作定语时的位置。
限定词→数量(序数前、基数后)→形状→大小、长短、高低等度量→新旧→颜色→国籍→ 材料
例句:I have never seen these beautiful round multi colored Chinese cloisonne(景泰蓝) vases in my first three years in China.
分析: 根据定语位置,限定词beautiful—形状round—颜色multi colored—国籍Chinese—材料cloisonne。
译文:在的
初三年中,我从来没有见过这些颜色各异的圆形中式景泰蓝花瓶。
