1. 形容词的基本句法功能
(1) 用作表语
It wasn’t cold or wet. 天气不冷也不潮湿。
The film star is
beautiful. 这位电影明星很美。
(2)用作定语
A
horse is a
useful animal. 马是有用的动物。
I’ve got a bad
headache. 我头疼得很厉害。
(3)用作宾语补足语
I
found the book easy. 我觉得这书读起来比较容易。
They
painted their house white. 他们把房子涂成白色。
这类句型若变为被动语态,形容词则变为主语补足语。如:
Their houses are
painted white. 他们的房子被涂成白色。
2. 形容词可用作状语吗
形容词的主要功能是用作定语和表语,但有时也可用作状语(有人也称之为主语补足语,因为它们是补充说明主语的)。如:
He lay in bed,
awake. 他躺在床上,没有睡着。(表伴随)
He
arrived home,
hungry and
tired. 他回到家里,又饿又累。(表结果)
Unable to
afford the time, I had to give up the plan. 由于抽不出时间,我不得不放弃这个计划。(表原因)
形容词用作状语的特点是,该形容词的逻辑主语就是句子主语,并且通常可以用并列句或主从复合句来改写。如以上各句可改写为:
He lay in bed and he was
awake.
He
arrived home and he was
hungry and
tired.
Because I was
unable to
afford the time, I had to give up the plan.
