例句精讲
1. In 1995, Clueless, the award-winning film based on Jane Austen's novel Emma, was released.
1995年,《无影无踪》公映,这部获奖影片就是根据简·奥斯汀的小说《爱玛》改编的。
【巧解句构】这个句子运用了award-winning复合形容词和过去分词短语based on Jane Austen's novel Emma来作film的定语,分词短语意思上当于which/that was based on...这样一个定语从句。
【要点剖析】分词作定语的时候很多,有的单独作定语:
This is a rather complicated problem.
这是一个相当复杂的问题。
有时分词还可以构成合成词作定语:
Chairman Mao lived in a simply-furnished room.
毛主席住在一个陈设简单的房间里。
分词短语作定语一般置于所修饰的名(代)词后面,相当于一个定语从句。
Suddenly there appeared a young woman dressed (who was dressed) in green.
突然出现了一个穿绿色衣服的女青年。
【拓展延伸】1)to be done,being done和done三种形式作定语可表达不同时间概念。如:
The houses being built are for the teachers.(正在被建造)
The house built last year are for the teachers.(已建造完成)
The houses to be built next month are for the teachers.(即将建造)
