推薦人: 來源: 閱讀: 4.86K 次

形容詞除了在英語句子中的正常位置之外,在各種特殊情況下也有其特殊的位置。在我們日常學習中還是經常會碰到這些特殊情況的,主要有幾種,

形容詞在英語句子中的特殊位置


(一)形容詞被其他詞語修飾時,便要跟在所修飾的名詞後面,如:

This hole←large←enough for a dog to pass through must be blocked up.

Don't throw away that filing cabinet←big←enough to keep all the old documents.


(二)兩個意思相反的形容詞並用時,也是要跟在被修飾的名詞後面,如:

We should be fair to all people, big and small, young and old.


(三)形容詞修飾“anything, something, nothing, everything”等代名詞時,也要在後頭出現,如:There is nothing funny about it.

Something important has been found.


(四)在某些固定的詞語中,形容詞在名詞後頭出現,如:

Military offenders will be sued in the court-martial. (軍事法庭)

The sum total (總數) of his teaching experience is two years as a relief teacher in a secondary school.

Since time immeMorial (太古時代), human beings have fought for survival.


(五)在某些口語中,形容詞也跟在被修飾的名詞之後,如:

On Sunday last (上星期日);16. On Monday next (下星期一);17. Volume one (第一卷);18. Chaper two (第二章); 19. Page three (第三頁)。


(六)有時,爲了加強句子語氣,形容詞可以放在句首,如:

Brave he may be, but he is not a good soldier.

Old though Jane is, she is healthy and energetic.


(七)當定語是"形容詞+介詞+名詞"時,要放在名詞的後面

He gave me a box full of books. 他給了我一個盛滿書的箱子。


(八)兩個意義相反的形容詞中間用and或or連接作定語時,常放在名詞的後面。

All the people on this island, young or old, are all fond of music.

這個島上的人,不論年輕的還是年老的都喜歡音樂

E away, long, wide, high, deep, old等詞附有數詞短語說明時,要後置。

The river is 20 meters wide. 這條河二十米寬。
