-ed型形容词和-ing型形容词
《新概念英语》第二册Lesson 14第一句话:I had an amusing experience last year.其中的amusing的用法很典型,容易与amused的用法弄混。(amusing意为“funny and enjoyable,逗人笑的,有趣的”,amused意为”被逗乐的,觉得好笑的“)
解决此类问题有两个切入点:
第一,看语境表示的是“令人……”,还是“感到……”,前者用-ing型形容词,后者用-ed型形容词。
第二,看语境说明的是性质特征还是感受。具体如下:
1)以后缀-ed结尾的形容词(如delighted, excited, frightened, interested, moved, pleased, surprised, worried等)说明人的一种心理感受。
如:
He had a pleased smile on his face. 他脸上露出了满意的微笑。
He told me the news in a very excited voice. 他声音很激动地告诉了我这个消息。
第一句中的a pleased smile 意为“满意的微笑”,它指的是某人因感到满意发出的微笑; 第二句中的 a very excited voice 指的是“很激动的声音”,即指的是某人因很激动而发生那样的声音。
原则上,-ed 形容词通常直接用于说明人,若修饰事物,则多为 air(神态), appearance(外貌), cry(哭声), face(表情), voice(声音), mood(情绪), smile(微笑), look(表情)等显示某人的情感状况的名词。
2.)以后缀 -ing 结尾的形容词(如delighting, exciting, frightening, interesting, moving, surprising, worrying 等)是"主动"形容词,以外界的视角来观察被修饰对象,
主要用于说明事物,表示事物的性质或特征,若用它们说明人,则表示此人具有此性质或特征。
请比较并体会以下句子:
He is frightened. 他很害怕。
He is frightening. 他很吓人。
He has a frightened look on his face. 他脸上带有惊恐的神情。
He has a frightening look on his face. 他脸上带有吓人的神情。
I read an interested expression on his face. 我看到他脸上露出一种感兴趣的表情。
I read an interesting expression on his face. 我看到他脸上露出一种有趣的表情。
