高中英语词汇:复合形容词,
.复合形容词
1. 含有分词的复合形容词
复合形容词中的现在分词与过去分词均源于定语从句中的谓语动词。
例如:
●Australia is a country which speaks English. (country 由定语从句修饰)
澳大利亚是一个讲英语的国家。
Australia is a country speaking English. (country 由现在分词短语修饰)
Australia is an English-speaking country. (country 由复合形容词修饰)
以上三个句子中,我们分别用了三种不同的方法修饰country,三种不同的修饰语与country的逻辑关系都是country speaks English,因为country是动作speak的发出者,按照修饰动作发出者用现在分词的原则,合成词应该使用English-speaking。然而短语spoken English (英语口语)是不同的,这个短语中被修饰词English是动作speak的承受者,因此,用过去分词spoken, 以上两种不同的逻辑关系必须分清。
我们再来看几个例子:
●earthshaking changes = changes which shake the earth
翻天覆地的变化(changes 是动作shake的发出者)
UN peacekeeping forces=forces which keep peace
联合国维和部队(forces 是动作keep的发出者)
record-breaking destroy=destroy which breaks record 破记录的毁坏
peace-loving people= people who love peace爱好和平的

easygoing person=person who goes easy 随和容易相处的人
well-being children=children who are well 健康的孩子
state-owned enterprises=enterprises which are owned by state国有企业
hand-made goods=goods which were made by hand 手工制品

fast-developing industry=industry which develops fast 高速发展的产业

snow-covered fields=feilds which are covered by snow白雪覆盖的田野
newly-built airport=airport which is built newly新建的飞机场
从以上例子可以看出,要了解和掌握含有分词的复合形容词,首先必须了解正确使用及物动词的现在分词和过去分词的关键:
① 准确了解及物动词的分词与所修饰的名词关系,修饰动作发出者用现在分词表示主动,修饰动作承受者用过去分词表示被动。
② 准确了解不及物动词的所用时态,用现在分词表示主动含义或动作正在进行,用过去分词表示动作业已完成。
