英語語法入門：名詞修飾語
2012-05-06 00:55:00
We often use two nouns together to show that one thing is a part of something else:
我們經(jīng)常用兩個(gè)名詞表示某物的其他部分：
the village church; the car door; the kitchen window; the chair leg;
my coat pocket; London residents
We can use noun modifiers to show what something is made of:
我們可以用名詞修飾語表示某物的組成部分：
a gold watch; a leather purse; a metal box
We often use noun modifiers with nouns ending in -er and -ing:
我們經(jīng)常用名詞修飾語與以-er或-ing結(jié)尾的名詞連用：
an office worker; a jewellery maker; a potato peeler; a shopping list; a swimming lesson; a walking holiday.
We use measurements, age or value as noun modifiers:
我們用尺寸、年齡或者價(jià)格作為名詞修飾語：
a thirty kilogram suitcase; a two minute rest; a five thousand euro platinum watch; a fifty kilometre journey;
We often put two nouns together and readers/listeners have work out what they mean. So:
我們經(jīng)常將兩個(gè)名詞放在一起，這樣說話者或聽者能明白他們的意義。所以：
an ice bucket = a bucket to keep ice in
an ice cube = a cube made of ice
an ice breaker = a ship which breaks ice
the ice age = the time when much of the Earth was covered in ice.
Sometimes we find more than two nouns together:
有時(shí)候我們能找到兩個(gè)以上的名詞用在一起：
London office workers; grammar practice exercises
Position of noun modifiers
名詞修飾語的位置
Noun modifiers come after adjectives:
名詞修飾詞放在形容詞后：
The old newspaper seller
A tiring fifty kilometre journey
