浅谈形容词在英语句子中的特殊位置
形容词除了在英语句子中的正常位置之外,在各种特殊情况下也有其特殊的位置。在我们日常学习中还是经常会碰到这些特殊情况的,主要有几种,
(一)形容词被其他词语修饰时,便要跟在所修饰的名词后面,如:
This hole←large←enough for a dog to pass through must be blocked up.
Don't throw away that filing cabinet←big←enough to keep all the old documents.
(二)两个意思相反的形容词并用时,也是要跟在被修饰的名词后面,如:
We should be fair to all people, big and small, young and old.
(三)形容词修饰“anything, something, nothing, everything”等代名词时,也要在后头出现,如:There is nothing funny about it.
Something important has been found.
(四)在某些固定的词语中,形容词在名词后头出现,如:
Military offenders will be sued in the court-martial. (军事法庭)
The sum total (总数) of his teaching experience is two years as a relief teacher in a secondary school.
Since time immemorial (太古时代), human beings have fought for survival.
(五)在某些口语中,形容词也跟在被修饰的名词之后,如:
On Sunday last (上星期日);16. On Monday next (下星期一);17. Volume one (第一卷);18. Chaper two (第二章); 19. Page three (第三页)。
(六)有时,为了加强句子语气,形容词可以放在句首,如:
Brave he may be, but he is not a good soldier.
Old though Jane is, she is healthy and energetic.
(七)当定语是"形容词+介词+名词"时,要放在名词的后面
He gave me a box full of books. 他给了我一个盛满书的箱子。
(八)两个意义相反的形容词中间用and或or连接作定语时,常放在名词的后面。
All the people on this island, young or old, are all fond of music.
这个岛上的人,不论年轻的还是年老的都喜欢音乐。
E away, long, wide, high, deep, old等词附有数词短语说明时,要后置。
The river is 20 meters wide. 这条河二十米宽。
