过去分词:被动与完成的两张面孔
考研真题里,过去分词-ed最爱玩变脸:有时是谓语里的被动,有时是作定语或状语的非谓语。看错它的身份,不仅断错主干,还会把施受关系搞反。本讲直接拆解-ed在长难句里的三种常考站位,教你一眼看穿它是“被…”还是“已…”。
怎么读
后置定语:紧跟名词表被动
过去分词短语常跟在名词后当定语。句2里based on user data修饰advertising,是“基于用户数据的广告”,绝不是谓语!句4的driven by...插在主语和谓语之间,也是修饰movement的定语“被…驱动”。找主干时必须先把它摘出去。
状语:修饰主干表状态
-ed短语作状语,逻辑主语是句子主语。句3的when faced with,逻辑主语是you,表“当你被面临…”。句6的compared with修饰Britain,表“被比较”。它们都是非谓语,不是谓语动词,千万别当成句子的核心动作。
前置定语:侧重完成状态
-ed作前置定语相当于形容词,不仅表被动,更常表“已完成”的状态。句4的uncharted和句5的unnamed,不仅是“被画/被命名”,更是强调动作已完成导致的“未知/未命名”属性。翻译时要把这种状态译出来。
真题例句拆解
以下句子全部取自本站 2010-2026 年英语一、英语二真题原文,未做改写;主干摘取与翻译为本站整理。
In all, the study concludes that whereas prosecutors should only evaluate a case based on its merits, they do seem to be influenced by a company’s record in CSR.
主干the study concludes that whereas prosecutors should only evaluate a case, they do seem to be influenced
总而言之,研究得出结论:尽管检察官应该只根据案件本身的是非曲直来评估案件,但他们似乎确实受到了公司CSR记录的影响。
看点based on its merits作case的后置定语,表被动“基于”;influenced则是谓语被动语态的一部分,两者身份不同。
Digital services include everything from providing a platform for selling goods and services online to targeting advertising based on user data, and the tax applies to gross revenue from such services.
主干Digital services include everything from providing a platform to targeting advertising, and the tax applies to gross revenue
数字服务包括从提供在线销售商品和服务的平台到基于用户数据定向投放广告的一切内容,且该税收适用于此类服务的总收入。
看点based on user data作advertising的后置定语,表被动“基于”,它不是targeting的宾语,更不是谓语。
A more practical goal is to try, to the best of your ability, to be as tolerant and composed as you can when faced with __19__ situations involving your children.
主干A more practical goal is to try to be as tolerant and composed as you can
一个更实际的目标是,尽你所能,在面对涉及你孩子的__19__情况时,尽可能保持宽容和镇定。
看点when faced with作时间状语,逻辑主语是you,表“你被面临”;involving是现在分词作定语,对比-ed的被动与-ing的主动。
This movement, driven by powerful and diverse motivations, built a nation out of a wilderness and, by its nature, shaped the character and destiny of an uncharted continent.
主干This movement built a nation out of a wilderness and shaped the character and destiny of an uncharted continent
这场由各种强大动机驱动的运动,从荒野中建立了一个国家,并依其本性,塑造了一片未知大陆的性格和命运。
看点driven by...作movement的插入式后置定语,表被动“被驱动”;uncharted作前置定语,表完成状态“未知的/未在地图上标出的”。
The authors of the paper are from different universities, and their findings are based on a study involving 147 students (who completed the project) at an unnamed private university.
主干The authors are from different universities, and their findings are based on a study
该论文的作者来自不同的大学,他们的发现是基于一项涉及某未命名私立大学147名学生(他们完成了该项目)的研究。
看点are based on是谓语被动;involving现在分词作定语;completed是定语从句的谓语过去式;unnamed过去分词作前置定语,表被动“未命名的”。
Britain has relatively few butterfly species compared with mainland Europe and 80% are in decline, mostly because intensive chemical farming has reduced many species to tiny fragments of habitat and small nature reserves.
主干Britain has relatively few butterfly species and 80% are in decline, mostly because intensive chemical farming has reduced many species
与欧洲大陆相比,英国的蝴蝶种类相对较少,其中80%正在减少,主要是因为密集的化学农业已将许多物种减少到栖息地和小自然保护区的微小碎片。
看点compared with作状语,逻辑主语是Britain,表被动“被拿来比较”,修饰整个主句,不要误当成主语或谓语。
常见陷阱
- 把-ed后置定语错看成谓语,导致找不到句子真正的主干动词。
- 看到-ed只想到“被动”,忽略其“已完成”的状态属性,翻译生硬。
- 非谓语-ed作状语时,找错逻辑主语,把施受关系搞反。
做题检查清单
- 往前找名词,判断-ed是否作后置定语。
- 找主干谓语,确认-ed只是非谓语修饰成分。
- 翻译时主动补出“被”或“已经”,检验逻辑通顺度。
