初中英语中的后置定语

在英汉两种语言中,定语的作用大致相同，但值得注意的是，汉语里的定

语都是放在它所修饰词之前,而在英语里,定语的位置既有在被修饰的词之前,也有在被修饰的词之后，本课主要就初中英语教学中常见的后置定语作一探

讨。

一、所有的短语作定语要后置（介短、形短、不短、分短）

1.介词短语作后置定语

the fall of the Roman Empire罗马帝国的灭亡

children under ten 10岁以下的孩子

a thirst for knowledge求知欲

his experience in teaching phonetics他教授语音学的经验

Then the man in the shop understood what the Frenchman meant.

（介词短语）

I see you’ve made some drawings of our defence works.

2. 不定式短语作后置定语

He had no time to think about rest.

3.分词短语作后置定语，在意思上相当于一个定语从句

China stretches across a vast area covering (=which covers ) the cold, temperate and tropical zones.

中国幅员辽阔，包括寒带、温带和热带。

We are brothers sharing (=who share) weal and woe.

我们是患难与共的兄弟。

They live in a room facing (=that faces) the sea.

他们住在一间朝南的房子里。

They are problems left(=which have been left) over by history.

这些是历史遗留下来的问题。

The problem (that was) discussed has been solved.

The amount of work (that was) done can be measured in this way.

The experience (that has been)gained will be of great value to us.

There were very few people living here.(现在分词短语)

Mr.Smith, the boss of a small factory, once hired a young worker

called John Hill.(过去分词短语)

4. 形容词短语作后置定语，相当于一个定语从句

He cast it a second time and drew in an old basket full of sand.

He saw a magazine on the table next to him.

word suitable to the occasion适合这样场合的言辞

a village remote from the madding crowd远离喧嚣尘世的村庄

sentences difficult to understand难于理解的句子

a man ready to lend a hand at any time

一个随时乐于帮助他人的人

二、所有的定语从句一律自然后置

Then there is only one thing I can do.

三、甚至许多单个单词也可作后置定语：

1.形容词作后置定语

①四one、四thing、四body、四where的修饰语（如something, somewhere, anyone, anybody），定语只能后置。

有条重要新闻。

He wanted to get someone reliable to help in this work. 他想找个可靠的人帮忙做这项工作。

Can you find anywhere quiet? 你能找个清静的地方吗?

He has been sent to somewhere particular. 他已被派到某个特殊的

地方去了。

②某些以-able或–ible结尾的形容词若与有限制性较强的定语.如only, all, any, every或形容词最高级连用，表示暂时的特征或现象时，常后置。

③两个或两个以上的形容词词组作定语、修饰泛指意义的名词时常后

置，以加强语气。如：
