如: The method used is very efficient.(作"用的"解)
This is a used book.(作"旧的"解)
The book given to him is an English grammar.(作"给"解)
We met at a given time.(作"特定的"解)
不及物动词的过去分词不可能有被动的意义,因此,不能象及物动词的过去分词那样放在名词后面。如不能说:
如:The train arrived at Platform 3 is from Nanjing.
应该说:The train which has arrived at Platform 3 is from Nanjing.
I know nothing about the things happened yesterday.
应该说:I know nothing about the things that happened yesterday.
3、过去分词作宾语或主语补足语
作宾语补足语的过去分词大多来自于及物动词,表示被动意义和完成意义,说明宾语所处的状态。过去分词作宾语补足语时,和在它前面的宾语构成"宾语+过去分词"的复合宾语。在这种宾语带过去分词的结构中,宾语与过去分词的关系时意义上的主谓关系(体现被动和完成意义),或者说,宾语时过去分词的逻辑宾语。因此,这也是复杂宾语的一种形式。可以带有过去分词作宾语补足语的动词有:
1) see, hear, watch, feel, think, notice, find等表示感觉和心理状态的动词:
e.g. We saw the thief caught by the police.
I thought my purse lost.
I felt myself knocked down.
People found the water polluted.
Everyone thought the battle lost.
We found her greatly changed.
2) make, get, have, keep, help 等表示"致使"意义的动词:
e.g. I've already had my car cleaned.
They kept everything locked/
We have made our views known to all of them.
He was trying hard to make himself understood.
Jane got her bad tooth pulled out at the dentist's.
Please keep us informed of the latest developments.
2) like, want, wish, order, expect等表示"愿望,希望,要求"等意义的动词。
e.g. The teacher expected the students (to be) well-prepared for the examination.
I want the house whitewashed before we move in
He won't like such questions (to be) discussed at the meeting.
注、不及物动词的过去分词能作宾语补语的很少。
如:They found the guests gone.
过去分词作宾语补语的句子,有些可以变为被动结构。在被动结构中,改过去分词变
