用法

　　(1)作定語

　　單個的分詞作定語，一般置于所修飾的詞前;分詞短語作定語置于所修飾的詞后，相當于一個定語從句。如：

　　Many excited people wanted to travel on the underground.

　　許多興奮的人們想乘地鐵旅行。

　　The countries you referred to just now belong to developing countries.

　　你剛才提到的那些國家屬于發展中國家。

　　People developed a kind of paper made from the fibers of plants.

　　=People developed a kind of paper which/that was made from the fibers of plants.

　　人們研制出一種用植物纖維制成的紙。

　　The houses being built are for the teachers.

　　=The houses which/that are being built are for the teachers.

　　正在(被)建的那些房子是給老師們的。

　　The little boy standing over there is a classmate of mine.

　　站在那邊的小男孩是我班的同學。

　　* 不定式、過去分詞和現在分詞作定語的區別

　　不定式作定語一般表示將來的動作;現在分詞作定語常表示正在進行的動作;過去分詞作定語表示過去的動作。如：

　　The problem to be discussed tomorrow is very important.

　　The problem discussed yesterday is very important.

　　The problem being discussed now is very important.

　　(2)作狀語

　　a)分詞作狀語的基本原則

　　分詞作狀語時，分詞的邏輯主語必須與句子的主語保持一致。分詞作狀語時，必須與句中的主語含有邏輯上的主謂關系或動賓關系。

　　b)分詞作狀語形式的選擇
