1. 现在分词(短语)作表语 (1) 分词作表语有两种情况,一种是现在分词作表语,一种是过去分词作表语,究竟是用现在分词还是用过去分词作表语是学生们经常困惑的地方。一般来说,表示心理状态的动词如excite,interest等都是及物动词,汉语意思不是“激动”,“高兴”,而是“使激动”、“使高兴”,因而现在分词应该是“令人激动的”、“令人高兴的”,过去分词则是“感到激动的”和“感到高兴的”。所以,凡表示“令人……的”都是-ing形式,凡是表示“感到……”都用-ed形式。换句话说,若人对……感兴趣,就是somebody is interested in..., 若人/ 物本身有兴趣时,就是说sb/sth is interesting。这类词常见的有: interesting 使人感到高兴 — interested感到高兴的 exciting令人激动的— excited感到激动的 如: Traveling is interesting but tiring. 旅行是有趣的,但是使人疲劳 The pupils will get confused if they are made to learn too much. 如果让学生学得太多,他们会感到糊涂的。 (2) 分词作表语时,相当于形容词,不可与构成进行时态和被动语态中的分词混淆起来。它们的形式是一样但可以从意义上予以区别。试比较: The film is moving. 这电影很感人。(表语,说明主语的性质) They are moving next Sunday . 他们下个周日搬家。(现在进行时,表示动作) 2. 现在分词(短语)作定语 (1) 单个的现在分词作定语时通常前置。如: I’m reading an interesting novel. 我在读一本非常有趣的小说。 (2) 现在分词短语作定语时通常后置,相当于一个定语从句。如: Most of the young teachers working in the university are Ph.D. . 在这所大学工作的大多数年轻教师都是博士。( 3. 现在分词(短语)作状语 (1) 现在分词(短语)作时间状语 Walking along the street one day, sha saw a little girl running up to her.
