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
2、忧。 He 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
3、 of your 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-
4、ed 形容词的区别，比较准确的表述应该是：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 ple
5、ased smile 意为“满意的微笑” ，它指的是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, surpri
6、sing, worrying 等) 主要用于说明事物，表示事物的性质或特征，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 rea
7、d an interested expression on his 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.
