Period 3: Grammar 1&2, Function, Culture Corner
1.The ?ed form过去分词作定语
分词是动词的一种非限定形式,主要起构成形容词和副词的作用,共有两种形式,一种是现在分词(-ing),一种是过去分词(-ed).现在分词一般有主动的意思,过去分词一般有被动和完成的意思,以下主要是过去分词作定语的几点用法。
(1)及物动词的过去分词单独用作定语,表被动。
e.g. moved students drowned people used paper a broken cup developed countries
(2 )个别的过去分词(多由不及物动词构成)只表示完成,不表示被动。
e.g. fallen leaves. / returned students. 归国留学生。
(3)某些动词的过去分词作定语,既可作前置定语,又可作后置定语,但含义不同。
e.g.The method used( 被采用的) is very efficient./ This is a used(用过的)book.
The book given(给) to him is an English novel.
We will be meeting at a given(特定的) time and place.
(4) 有些过去分词己经失去了被动意义, 相当于形容词作定语,表示主语所处的一种状态.常用来修饰人。
也可以修饰物,这类被过去分词所修饰指物的名词大概有两类:
a.指人发出的声音: voice , shout , scream , cry 等;
b.指人的面部表情: face, look , expression , smile 等;
修饰的过去分词有:
disappointed, puzzled, surprised, excited, satisfied, frightened, pleased, trembled, discouraged, etc.
a frightened look 惊恐的神态
a frightening look 吓人的神态
a pleased smile (自己感到)满意的微笑
a pleasing smile 令人愉快的微笑
2.过去时态的表达及用法
一般过去时表示(1)过去某个特定时间发生,并且一下子就完成了的动作(即:非持续性动作), (2)过去习惯性的动作。一般过去时不强调动作对现在的影响,只说明过去。
I had a word with Julia this morning.今天早晨,我跟朱丽亚说了几句话。(1)
e.g.He smoked many cigarettes a day until he gave up. 他没有戒烟的那阵子,烟抽得可凶了。
一般过去时常与表示过去的时间状语或从句连用,如:yesterday, last week, in 1993, at that time, once, during the war, before, a few days ago, when 等等。
句子中谓语动词是用一般过去时还是用现在完成时,取决于动作是否对现在有影响。
e.g. Have you had your lunch? 你吃过午饭了吗?(意思是说你现在不饿吗?)
Yes, I have. 是的,我已经吃过了。(意思是说已经吃饱了,不想再吃了。)
When did you have it? 你是什么时候吃的?(关心的是吃的动作发生在何时。)
I had it about ten minutes ago. 我是大约十分钟以前吃的。
Used to do something 表示过去常做而现在已经停止了的习惯动作。
e.g.I used to work fourteen hours a day. 我过去常常一天干十四个小时。
一般过去时的基本用法
a. 带有确定的过去时间状语时,要用过去时
如:yesterday(昨天)、two days ago…(两天前…… )、last year…(去年…)、the other day(前几天)、once up on a time(过去曾经)、 just now(刚才)、in the old days(过去的日子里)、before liberation(解放前…)、 When I was 8 years old(当我八岁时…)
e.g.Did you have a party the other day?前几天,你们开了晚会了吗?
e.g. Lei Feng was a good soldier. 雷锋是个好战士。
注意
①在谈到已死去的人的情况时,多用过去时。
② 表示过去连续发生的动作时,要用过去时
这种情况下,往往没有表示过去的时间状语,而通过上下文来表示。
e.g.The boy opened his eyes for a moment,looked at the captain,and then died.
那男孩把眼睛张开了一会儿,看看船长,然后就去世了。
③ 表示过去一段时间内经常或反复的动作,常与always,never等连用。
e.g.Mrs. Peter always carried an umbrella. 彼得太太过去老是带着一把伞。
(只是说明她过去的动作,不表明她现在是否常带着伞。)
比较
Mrs. Peter always carries an umbrella.
彼得太太老是带着伞。
(说明这是她的习惯,表明她现在仍然还习惯总带着一把伞)
I never drank wine.我以前从不喝酒。
(不涉及到现在,不说明现在是否喝酒)
④ 如果强调已经终止的习惯时要用used to do
e.g.He used to drink. 他过去喝酒。
(意味着他现在不喝酒了。喝酒这个动作终止了)
I used to take a walk in the morning.
我过去是在早晨散步。
(意味着现在不在早晨散步了)
I took a walk in the morning.
我曾经在早晨散过步。
(只是说明过去这一动作)
比较
I took a walk in the morning .
我曾经在早晨散过步。
(指是说明过去这一动作)
⑤ 有些句子,虽然没有表示过去确定时间的状语,但实际上是指过去发生的动作或存在的状态的话,也要用过去时,这一点,我们中国学生往往出错,要特别注意!
I didn''t know you were in Paris.
我不知道你在巴黎。(因为在说话时,我已经知道你在巴黎了。这句话指的是说话之前,所以只能用过去时表示。实际上,这句话暗指:But now I know you are here.)
I thought you were ill.
我以为你病了呢。
(这句话应是在说话之前,我以为你病了。但是现在我知道你没病)
辨别正误

(动词应该用原形)

4.Travelling at a speed of over 400 kilometres per hour, the train can complete the 30-kilometre journey in eight minutes.
句中Travelling at a speed of over 400 kilometres per hour是现在分词短语在句中作状语。
现在分词短语用作状语时,可以表示时间、条件、原因、伴随或方式以及结果等。从分词的时间意义上看,现在分词一般式表示的动作与谓语动词表示的动作同时发生或几乎同时发生;从语态意义上看,现在分词一般式往往表示主动的动作,它所修饰的人或物是分词动作的执行者,即句子的主语。
(1)表示时间
Looking out of the window, I saw some students playing there.(=When I looked out of the window…)
Hearing the news, he couldn’t help laughing.

6.30-kilometre journey 30千米的行程
30-kilometre是合成形容词。合成形容词只作前置定语,用于所修饰的名词前,结构是:
数词+单位词单数+形容词(long/wide/high/tall/deep/old)+被修饰的名词,其中合成形容词的各词语之间要有连字符,而且单位词要用单数。如:
A five-year-old boy 一个5岁的男孩

A 500-metre-wide river 一条500米宽的河
