動詞的-ed形式也是非謂語動詞的一種,它具有動詞的一些特點,同時也具有形容詞、副詞的句法功能,在句中可用作表語、定語、狀語和賓語補足語等。

英語語法之動詞的過去分詞形式

  一、動詞的-ed形式的特徵

(一)動詞的-ed形式是由動詞的過去分詞構成

動詞的-ed形式只有一種形式,即傳統語法中的過去分詞。絕大部分的動詞的-ed形式由動詞原形加-ed構成,也有一些動詞的-ed形式是不規則的。

1、規則動詞的-ed形式

limit→limited(限制)

pretend→pretended(假裝)

escape→escaped(逃脫)

provide→provided(提供)

refer→referred(提交)

drag→dragged(拖)

pray→prayed(祈禱)

supply→supplied(供應)

2、不規則動詞的-ed形式

spread→spread(傳播)

bite→bitten(咬)

forgive→forgiven(原諒)

spit→spat( 吐)

wear→worn(穿)

3、少數動詞的-ed形式作定語時,讀音與一般過去分詞不同

learned:a learned professor 一位知識淵博的教授

aged:an aged man 老人

beloved:his beloved computer 他心愛的計算機

(二)動詞的-ed形式的否定形式

動詞的-ed形式的否定形式是由not或never加動詞的-ed形式構成。

Not allowed to go in, he had to wait outside.

不允許他進去,他只好在外面等著。

(三)動詞的-ed形式的特徵

動詞的-ed形式有被動的意思,有時也可表示完成的動作。

1、動詞的-ed形式表示已完成的動作。

除了作形容詞用的-ed形式外,動詞的-ed形式可帶有完成的意義,有的同時也帶有被動的意義。

Bornand brought up in the countryside, he was interested in biology.

由於在農村出生並長大,他對生物很感興趣。

2、及物動詞的-ed形式一般表示被動的意思。

Given more time, I could have solved that riddle.

要是有充足的時間,我就能猜出那個謎語。(句子的主語I 和動詞give之間是被動關係。)

3、不及物動詞的-ed形式只表示完成的意思,並不帶有被動的含義。

an escaped prisoner 逃犯 (= a prisoner who hasescaped)

  二、動詞的-ed形式的用法

動詞的-ed形式在句中主要起形容詞和副詞的作用,可以作定語、表語、狀語和補語。

(一)動詞的-ed形式作表語

1、-ed形式在連繫動詞後作表語,說明主語的狀態。

The students are fully prepared.

學生們已做好了充分的準備。

【比較】要把-ed形式作表語和被動語態區別開來。作表語的-ed形式表示狀態,被動語態中的-ed形式表示被動動作。

All the doors are locked.

所有的門都是鎖著的。(-ed形式作表語,表示狀態)

All the doors were locked by the guard.

所有的門都被衛兵鎖上了。(被動語態,表示動作)

彼得大帝就埋葬在這裡。(-ed形式作表語,表示狀態

Peter the Great was buried here in 1725.

彼得大帝於1725年被埋葬在這裡。(被動語態,表示動作)

(二)同一動詞的-ed形式與-ing形式作表語時的區別

動詞的-ed形式作表語,主要表示主語的心理感覺或所處的狀態,含有被動的意思,而-ing形式作表語多表示主語具有的特徵,含有主動的意思。

They were frightened to hear the frighteningsound.

他們聽到那可怕的聲音很害怕。

At the sight of the moving scene, all thepeople present were moved.

看到這麼動人的情景,所有在場的人都感動了。

【提示】上述動詞的-ed形式,有的(如pleased,tired, excited, disappointed等)已經變成形容詞,可以被very, too等副詞修飾。有的(如amused, puzzled, relaxed等)還不能被very, too修飾,只能被much修飾。

These problems are very puzzling.

這些問題很令人迷惑。

We are much puzzled by his failure toreply.

他不給我們回信使我們百思不得其解。

His speech was very moving.

他的演講非常感人

All the people present were moved to tears.

在場的所有人都被感動得流淚了。

(三)動詞的-ed形式作賓語補足語

當作賓語補足語的動詞和前面的賓語之間是被動關係時,一般應用動詞的-ed形式作賓語的補足語。

1、在感覺動詞see, hear, feel, notice, watch, find後作賓語補足語。

昨晚我聽了第九交響樂的演奏。
