ed形容词和

-ed形容词和-ing形容词

传统的观点认为：-ing形容词与表示事物的名词连用，-ed形容词与表示人的名词连用。此说法在很多情况下是可行的，但表述欠准确，在许多情况下却是不可靠的。如-ing 形容词用于人的情况就比比皆是：假若你的老师说话幽默、讲课生动，那么不仅他的课非常interesting，而且你会说他是一个interesting man(有趣的人)。

比较：

I’m interested in interesting people. 我对有趣的人感兴趣。

He was worried about his worrying son. 他为他令人担忧的儿子感到担忧。

He was annoyed with the annoying person. 他对这个讨厌的人很生气。

另一方面，-ed 形容词用于指物的情况也不少见。比较并体会：

a frightened look 害怕的表情(指带有这种“表情”的人感到害怕)

a frightening look 吓人的表情(指这种“表情”令人害怕)

an excited talk 心情激动的谈话(指“谈话”的人心情激动)

an exciting talk 令人激动的谈话(指听“谈话”的人心情激动)

由于传统的观点说得太绝对，有时做起题来还可能会因此掉入命题人的陷阱，如：_____ do you think of your English teacher? Is he _______？

A. What, interesting

B. What, interested

C. How, interesting

D. How, interested 此题考查两方面的知识点：一是考查what do you think of…与how do y ou like…的用法区别(两者搭配不同，但意思相同)；二是考查interesting与interested的用法区别。若套用以上关于-ing形容词与-ed形容词的区别，则可能将答案错定为D。此题的正确答案应是A。

关于-ing形容词与-ed形容词的区别，准确的表述应该是：

1. 以后缀–ed结尾的形容词(如ashamed, delighted, excited, frightened, interested, moved, pleased, surprised, worried等)通常用于说明人，不用于说明事物，即使它们所修饰的名词是事物，那它们指的也是与该事物相关的人。如：

He had a pleased smile on his face. 他脸上露出了满意的微笑。

He told me the news in a very excited voice. 他声音很激动地告诉了我这个消息。

第一句中的a pleased smile 意为“满意的微笑”，它指的是某人因感到满意发出的微笑；第二句中的 a very excited voice 指的是“很激动的声音”，即指的是某人因很激动而发生那样的声音。

原则上，-ed 形容词通常直接用于说明人，若修饰事物，则多为air(神态), appearance(外貌), cry(哭声), face(表情), voice(声音), mood(情绪)等显示某人的情感状况的名词。

2. 以后缀-ing 结尾的形容词(如delighting, exciting, frightening, interesting, moving, surprising, worrying 等)主要用于说明事物，表示事物的性质或特征，若用它们说明人，则表示此人具有此性质或特征。如：

The story is very interesting. 这个故事很有趣。

The man is very interesting. 这个人很有趣。

请再比较并体会以下句子：

He is frightened. 他很害怕。He is frightening. 他很吓人。

He has a frightened look on his face. 他脸上带有惊恐的神情。

He has a frightening look on his face. 他脸上带有吓人的神情。

I read an interested expression on his face. 我看到他脸上露出一种感兴趣的表情。

I read an interesting expression on his face. 我看到他脸上露出一种有趣的表情。ed形式及常见短语与ing形式形容词归纳
