關鍵詞: -ing和-ed類形容詞 意義 用法

-ing和-ed結尾的形容詞在中學階段英語教學中出現比較頻繁，在近年來各地高考試題中也經常有所涉及。掌握這類形容詞的意義和用法定會對學生在閱讀、寫作等教學活動中準確理解和表達句義起到積極作用。筆者將總結分析中學階段應掌握的這類詞的意義和用法。

一、-ing和-ed類形容詞及其意義

中學階段應掌握的-ing和-ed類形容詞如下:

-ed類形容詞還有:

dressed(穿著衣服)，experienced(有經驗的)，learned(有學問的)，lost(迷路的)，married(已婚的)，seated(坐著的)。我們用interesting，boring，exciting等-ing類的形容詞來談論使我們感到有趣、厭煩等的那個人、那個物或那件事。如:

It would be interesting to know what he really believed.了解他的真實信仰會是很有意思的。

Sheila’s party was pretty boring.希拉的那個聚會使人厭煩。

為了說明對某事的感覺，我們可以用interested，bored，excited等-ed類的形容詞。如:

I am very interested in history.我很喜歡歷史。

I didn’t enjoy the party because I was bored.我覺得這次聚會沒意思，我都厭煩了。

再看下面幾個例句:

If a story is exciting，you are excited when you read it.如果一個故事令人興奮，你讀的時候就感到興奮。

If an explanation is confusing，you get confused.如果一個解釋令人感到糊涂，你會被弄糊涂的。

After a tiring day，you feel tired.在度過使人勞累的一天之后，你會感到很累。

二、-ing和-ed類形容詞的用法

1.作表語

表示“某人、某事或某物令人感到……”，就用-ing類形容詞;若表示主語的某種感受就用-ed類形容詞。(上面第一部分的例句說明了這類形容詞作表語的用法)

有些-ed類的詞，已經完全是形容詞了，如dressed，experienced，learned，lost，married，seated，它們并不表示主語的感受。例如:

Hurry up and get dressed.快點穿上衣服。

We always get lost in London.我們在倫敦老是迷路。

He is very experienced in looking after animals.他養動物很有經驗。

The pilot asked all the passengers on board to remain____as the plane was making a landing.

A.seat B.seating C.seatedD.to be seating

(高考上海卷2004春—39)

答案:C。remain是聯系動詞，seated(坐著的)作表語。

2.作定語

作定語時關鍵看被修飾的詞與這類形容詞的邏輯關系。表示所修飾的詞具有此性質或特征，用-ing類形容詞，表示被修飾的詞自身的感受，則用-ed類形容詞。要注意的是，被修飾的詞是look，cry，expression，face，smile，voice等顯示某人的情感狀況的名詞時，我們通常用-ed類形容詞。例如:

It was a terrifying experience.那是一次可怕的經歷。(The experience was terrifying.)

Lincoln was an inspiring leader.林肯是一位鼓舞人心的領導人。(The leader was inspiring.)

They waited for something exciting to happen.他們等待著激動人心的事情發生。(Something was exciting.)

The excited children were opening their Christmas presents.激動的孩子們在打開他們的圣誕禮物。(The children were excited.)

Keep all letters from satisfied customers.把滿意的顧客的來信全部保留下來。(Customers are satisfied.)

She had a puzzled look on her face.她滿面迷惑的表情。(She was puzzled.)

I read an interested expression on his face.我看到他臉上露出一種感興趣的表情。(He is interested.)

——Did you enjoy yourself at the party?

——Yes，I have never been to____one before.

A.a more excited B.the most excited C.a more exciting D.the most exciting (高考四川卷2006—27)

答案:C(The party was exciting.)

3.作賓語補足語

作賓語補足語時，關鍵看形容詞與賓語的邏輯關系。例如:

I still find the job exciting.我仍然認為這個工作令人振奮。(The job is exciting.)

The quality of the wine made me disappointed.這酒的質量使我失望。(I was disappointed.)

I didn’t find the joke at all amusing.我認為這笑話一點也不可笑。(The joke wasn’t amusing.)

Playing with water can keep children amused for hours.嬉水可以使孩子們玩樂好幾個小時。(Children are amused.)

Laws that punish parents for their children’s actions against the laws get parents____.

A.worried____B.to worry____C.worrying____D.worry

(高考重慶卷2004—30)

答案:A(Parents are worried.)

4.作狀語

作狀語時關鍵看狀語與其邏輯主語的關系。例如:

Mr.Smith， of the____speech，started to read a novel.

A.tired;boring B.tiring;bored C.tired;bored D.tiring;boring(高考北京卷2003春—35)

答案:A(狀語與其邏輯主語的關系是:Mr.Smith was tired of...)

in a white uniform，he looks more like a cook than a doctor.

A.Dressed B.To dress C.Dressing D.Having dressed

(高考湖南卷2005—22)

答案:A(狀語與其邏輯主語的關系是:he is dressed in...)

and happy，Tony stood up and accepted the prize.

A.SurprisingB.Surprised

C.Being surprised D.To be surprising

(高考全國卷I 2006—32)

答案:B(狀語與其邏輯主語的關系是:Tony was surprised and happy.)

通過分析，我們可以看出，只要了解其一般規律，并能注意其特殊情況，我們就能在閱讀和寫作中正確理解和使用-ing和-ed類形容詞的意義和用法。
