形容詞的排列順序

  以下是小編整理的,希望對大家英語學習有所幫助。
 

  形容詞的位置關係

  有時候我們用一個以上形容詞來修飾名詞:

  He was a nice intelligentyoung man.

  She had a small round black wooden box.

  有些形容詞給了一個大體的描述。我們可以用這些形容詞來描述幾乎所有名詞:

  有些形容詞給了一個特殊的含義。我們只用這些形容詞來描述特定的名詞:

  Food: tasty; delicious

  Furniture, buildings: comfortable; uncomfortable

  People, animals: clever; intelligent; friendly

  我們經常在特殊概念前用一個普遍的概念:

  Nice tasty soup.

  A nasty uncomfortable armchair

  A lovely intelligent animal

  Usually we put an adjective that gives an opinion in front of an adjective that is descriptive:

  通常我們放一個描述性形容詞在某個被描述的形容詞前面

  a nice red dress; a silly old man; those horribleyellow curtains

  We often have two adjectives in front of a noun:

  我們經常將兩個形容詞放在一個名詞前面:

  a handsome young man; a big black car; that horrible big dog

  Sometimes we have three adjectives, but this is unusual:

  有時候會用到三個形容詞,但這是不太尋常的:

  a nice handsome young man;

  a big black American car;

  that horrible big fierce dog

  It is very unusual to have more than three adjectives.

  Adjectives usually come in this order:

  在英語中,當名詞有多個形容詞修飾時,就有它們的先後順序。下面的口訣可幫你記住這一先後順序,也是解題的關鍵。

  限定描繪大長高,形狀年齡和新老;顏色國籍跟材料,作用類別往後靠;

  其中,“限定詞”包括:冠詞、物主代詞、指示代詞、或數詞,它位於各類形容詞前。它本身分為三位,即:前、中、後。前位限定詞有all、half、both、分數和倍數;中位限定詞有冠詞、指示代詞、物主代詞等;後位限定詞有基數詞和序數詞,但序數詞位於基數詞前。如:both my hands、all half his income等。“描繪”性形容詞如:beautiful、bad、cold、great等。“大長高”表示大小、長短、高低等一些詞。表示“形狀”的詞如:round square等。“國籍”指一個國家或地區的詞。“材料”的詞如:wooden, woolen, stone,silk等。“作用類別”的詞如:medical, college,writing desk,police car等。

  有些形容詞只用在系動詞後面:

  一些最普通的以-ed結尾的形容詞通常只用在系動詞後面:

  annoyed; finished; bored; pleased; thrilled

  For example:Our teacher was ill.

  My uncle was very glad when he heard the news.

  The policeman seemed to be very annoyed

  但我們不說:

  We had an ill teacher.

  When he heard the news he was a very glad uncle

  He seemed to be a very annoyed policeman

  有些形容詞只用在名詞前面:

  我們可以說:

  He lives in the eastern district.

  There were countless problems with the new machinery.

  但是不能說成:

  The district he lives in is eastern

  The problems with the new machinery were countless.
