1、ed形容词和ing形容词的用法区别一、传统的观点许多参考书认为：-ing形容词与表示事物的名词连用，-ed形容词与表示人的名词连用。此说法在很多情况下是可行的，但表述欠准确，在许多情况下却是不可靠的。如：-ing 形容词用于人的情况就比比皆是：假若你的老师说话幽默、讲课生动，那么不仅他的课非常interesting，而且你会说他是一个 interesting man(有趣的人)。比较： Im interested in interesting people. 我对有趣的人感兴趣。 He was worried about his worrying son. 他为他令人担忧的儿子感到担忧。 He
2、 was annoyed with the annoying person. 他对这个讨厌的人很生气。 另一方面，-ed 形容词用于指物的情况也不少见。比较并体会： a frightened look 害怕的表情(指带有这种“表情”的人感到害怕) a frightening look 吓人的表情(指这种“表情”令人害怕) an excited talk 心情激动的谈话(指“谈话”的人心情激动) an exciting talk 令人激动的谈话(指听“谈话”的人心情激动) 由于传统的观点说得太绝对，有时做起题来还可能会因此掉入命题人的陷阱，请看下面一题 ：_ do you think of yo
3、ur English teacher? Is he _？A. What, interesting B. What, interested C. How, interesting D. How, interested 此题考查两方面的知识点：一是考查what do you think of与how do you like的用法区别(两者搭配不同，但意思相同)；二是考查interesting与interested的用法区别。若套用以上关于-ing形容词与-ed形容词的区别，则可能将答案锁定为D。但是错了，此题的最佳答案应是A。二、正确的观点关于-ing形容词与-ed形容词的区别，比较准确的表述应该
4、是：1. 以后缀 ed结尾的形容词(如ashamed, delighted, excited, frightened, interested, moved, pleased, surprised, worried等)通常用于说明人，不用于说明事物，即使它们所修饰的名词是事物，那它们指的也是与该事物相关的人。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
5、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), mood(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)主要用于说明事物，表示事物的性
6、质或特征，若用它们说明人，则表示此人具有此性质或特征。如：The story is very interesting. 这个故事很有趣。The man is very interesting. 这个人很有趣。请再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
7、 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。 三、学练结合请做做以下试题，看你是否能克服原来的思维定势，能否跳出命题人的陷阱：1.

10、 trembled D. frightened; trembly 答案与解析：1. 选A。句中的that punishthe law是定语从句。句意是：因为他们小孩的违法行为而惩罚其父母，这样的法律使得做父母的感到忧虑。表示人“感到忧虑的”用由过去分词转换而来的形容词。2. 选B。句意是：由于她的儿子令人失望，她感到非常烦恼。表示“令人的”用 -ing 形容词；表示“感到的”用 -ed形容词。3. 选A。此题一方面考查形容词作状语(。此题一方面考查形容词作状语(当形容词用作状语时，表示意义上的增补，和句子主语在逻辑上有主谓关系)，另一方面考查形容词tiring与tired的用法区别，此处填ti
11、red表示“人感到疲惫的”，即选A。4. 选C。第一空填tiring，表示“使人劳累的”；第二空填tired，表示“感到劳累的”。5. 选B。第一空填frightened，其意为“感到害怕的”；第二空填trembling表示动作的进行。也就是说，frightened说明主语因而产生的情绪反应，从而影响到人的身体部位trembling。 ed形式及常见短语与 ing形式形容词归纳excited (be d about) / excitingsurprised (be d at) /surprisingamazed (be d at) /amazingembarrassed(be ed in) /
