Topic 1 現在分詞和過去分詞當形容詞
一、現在分詞和過去分詞當形容詞的用法
我們在先前的文法單元中多多少少會提及現在分詞(V-ing)和過去分詞(p.p.)，其
中 be 動詞與現在分詞搭配即形成進行式，而完成式與被動語態的形成則會運
用到過去分詞。上述狀況只是現在分詞和過去分詞的用法之一，這二種分詞其 實還有另一用法，就是拿來當形容詞。現在就讓我們一起來看看他們的形容詞 用法！
1. 現在分詞當形容詞
(1) 現在分詞當形容詞時，表達的是某人/事/物給人的感覺或感受，中文翻譯 成：…令人感到…。
例1：This movie is touching.
（這部電影是令人感動的。）
例2：Jim’s trick is boring.
（Jim 的把戲令人感到無聊。）
(2) 現在分詞當形容詞時，也能表達主動，亦即用來表示名詞本身自發的動 作或是可能的功用。
例1：These laughing people love this movie.
（這些在笑的人喜愛這部電影。）
例2：Those are cooking tools.
（那些是做飯的用具。）
※ 文法補充：
如果要表示某事物對某人來說是什麼樣的感受，我們可以運用以下的句型，
句尾的「
to + 人」中文翻譯成「對…來說」：
物 + be 動詞 + 現在分詞 + to + 人(受詞).
例1：This baseball game is exciting to Andy.
（對Andy 來說，這場棒球賽是刺激的。）
必備文法概念 You are the best﹗
例2：That party was surprising to us.
（對我們來說，那個派對是令我們感到驚訝的。）
2. 過去分詞當形容詞
(1) 過去分詞當形容詞時，表達的是它所修飾那個名詞本身的感受，而它通 常修飾的對象會是人，中文翻譯成：某人感到…。
例1：I am interested in learning magic.
（我對學習魔術感到有興趣。）
例2：Jim is excited about that basketball game.
（Jim 對那場籃球比賽感到興奮。）
※ 文法補充：
上述用法中的過去分詞後面必須先接用介系詞，而後才能接用名詞；而每個
過去分詞所搭配的介系詞不盡相同，現在就來看看下面5 個常見當形容詞的
過去分詞，以及與其搭配的介系詞：
a. be interested in ...：對…感興趣
b. be excited about ...：對…感到興奮、刺激 c. be surprised at ...：對…感到驚訝
d. be bored with ...：對…感到厭煩 e. be tired of ...：對…感到厭倦
(2) 過去分詞當形容詞時，有被動的意涵，亦即用來表示名詞本身被某動作 或事物所影響。中文翻譯為被（有）…。
例1：The hurt shark was dead.
（這隻受傷的鯊魚死了。）
例2：Ken fixed the broken door.
（Ken 修了被打破 / 被弄壞的門。）
