定语从句和分词短语做定语的区别

解答时间：2009-12-07 20:58:00

既然分词短语做定语的时候往往都可以和定语从句互换,那我想知道什么时候可以用分词短语做定语,什么时候可以用定语从句例如:The boy who is playing football is my brother.为什么也可以用The boy playing football is my brother.

分词短语做定语在大多数情况下都可与定语从句相转换。这是非谓语动词的语法特点。The school which was built twenty years ago is our school=The school built twenty years ago is our school但完成式的现在分词短语不能用作定语。如果两个动作有先后，要用定语从句。误：This is one of the factories having been built in 1980.正：This is one of the factories that were built in 1980.正：This is one of the

factories built in 1980

去分词是非谓语动词的一种形式,表示完成和被动的动作。它在句子中可以充当表语、定语等成份。下面仅谈其作定语和表语的用法。

一、过去分词作定语

过去分词作定语有前置和后置两种情况。

1、前置定语

单个的过去分词作定语,通常放在被修饰的名词之前,表示被动和完成意义。

A类:被动意义:

an honored guest 一位受尊敬的客人

The injured workers are now being taken good care of in the hospital.

受伤的工人现正在医院受到良好的照料。

B类:完成意义:

a retired teacher 一位退休的教师

They are cleaning the fallen leaves in the yard.

他们正在打扫院子里的落叶。

2、后置定语

过去分词短语作定语时,通常放在被修饰的名词之后,它的作用相当于一个定语从句。如:

This will be the best novel of its kind ever written (=that has ever been written).

这将是这类小说中写得最好的。

Who were the so-called guests invited (=who had been invited) to your party last night?

昨晚被邀请参加你的晚会的那些所谓的客人是谁呀?

二、过去分词作表语

作表语的过去分词主要来自及物动词,在主-系-表句型中,说明主语所处的一种状态。其中系动词有包括be在内的多种形式。如:

You seem frightened. 你看样子受了惊吓。

少数不及物动词(如go, come, set)的过去分词也能作表语,但它们不表示被动意义,只是表示动作完成。如:

They are gone for vacation. 他们度假去了。

注意:要区别“系动词+过去分词(系表结构)” 和“系动词+过去分词(被动语态)”。如:

A. The library is now closed. 图书馆现在关门了。

B. The library is closed at six. 图书馆经常在六点钟关门。

说明:作表语用的过去分词表示主语的特点或所处的状态,强调主谓关系。这种结构中的过去分词前可加quite, very, rather等修饰词。系动词可有多种,表示不同的意义;被动语态表示动作,强调动宾关系,绝大多数被动结构中的行为执行者还可以用by短语来表示。因此,我们不难看出在上面两句中,A句是系表结构,B句是被动语态。
