英语中定语位置的
10
条规律
在英语表达中,一个名词常常会有
一个或多个形容词或名词做定语来说明其性
质、特征、用途等。考生在解答与这种语言现
象有关的题目时,常不知道怎样确定多个
定语的排列顺序。本文拟从九个方面予以探讨性
解答,以资备考。
一、前位限定词总在前面。
前位限
定词指
many
,
much
,
any
,
some
p>
,
no
,
(a)l
ittle
,
(a)few
等表示数量
的
形容词,
数词<
/p>
one
,
two
,
three
以及形容词性的物主代词
my
,
his
,
her
,
?
,
还有
al
l
,
both
,
every
等不定
代词。如:
1.
m
any Chinese students
2.
t
wo
exciting days
3.
m
y favorite English songs
p>
二、主观词
+
客观词。说话人对事物主观性
评价的定语在前,客观性评价的定语在后。
如:
1.
o
ur
great powerful motherland
,
2.
t
he
beautiful large garden,
3.
a
comfortable bright
meeting-room,
4.
a
ny lovely clever children <
/p>
三、序数词
+
基数词。碰到数词定语时,
一般地,序数词在前,基数词在后。如:
1.
t
he
first three newcomers,
2.
t
he last few weeks
3.
一
How was your recent visit
to Qingdao?
—
It was
great
.
We visited 8
friends, and spent the
days at the
seaside
.
A
.
few last sunny
B
.
1ast few sunny
C
.
1ast sunny few
D
.
few sunny hst
答案
B
。
<
/p>
四、少音节词
+
多音节词。当几个形容词
同时修饰一个名词时,还可以根据行文习惯,
通过音节的多少来确定定语的顺序。如:<
/p>
1)
an old exalting story
2)
my new Australian friend
3)
two tall strong-looking
policemen
4)
a
good effective method.
五、
(
p>
制作
)
方式
+
p>
材料
+
用途。当有几个名词做定语时,常以
这种方式排列。如:
1)
a handmade wood chair
2)
a newly-built stone
store house
六、“县官行令杀国才”。该谐音语中的“县”指前位“限定
词”,“官”指冠词,
“行”指表示事物形状
(
大小、长短、高矮等
)
的词,“令”指表示人或事物的
年龄、新
旧的词,“杀”为“色”的谐音,指表示色彩的词,“国”指国家、地区
(
产地
)
的词,
p>
“才”指
(
制作的
)
材料。如:
1.
a
ll
the long old white stone bridges
2.
a
high old grey stone building
3.
h
er
lovely children
应注意的是在运用中不一定这几个定语同时出现,但顺序却是不变的。如:
1.
a
ll the long bridges
2.
t
he
old white walls
3.
t
he widest Chinese river
4.
a
newly built Japanese factory
七、由
such
,
so
等构成的特殊
短语做定语时,常有下列句型:
(1)such
/
what
/
quite
+a(an)+adj.+ n
.
(
2)so
/
too
/
< br>how
/
as+ adj. +a(an)+ n. <
/p>
(3)
亦可有句型:
a(an)+qui
te
/
rather+ adj. a(n)+
n),
如:
1.
I
t

,isn’t
it?
2.
H
ow beautiful a country
China is!
3.
Y
ou are as brave a boy as
the little hero, aren't you?
4.
I
t

day)
.
八、定语后置情况。

不定代词的定语要后置。如:
1.

s

2.
T
he
boy found something strange in that
room
.
(2)
< br>副词做定语要后置。某些表示地点、方位、时间的副词作定语时,通常要后置。常
见作后置定语的副词有:

there,
above,
bel
ow,
,
abroad
,
in
,
out
,
before
,
