当两个以上形容词修饰一个名词,形容词该如何排列?为什么不能说a black new pen,而是说成a new black pen?这里面有无规则可循?
如果你记住Opshacom这个为帮助记忆而杜撰的词,就能掌握英语中形容词排列的顺序。
Opshacom中p代表opinion,指表示人们观点的形容词,如beautiful, lovely,nice等;
sh代表shape,指表示形状的形容词,如long,short,round, narrow等;
a代表age,指表示年龄、时代的形容词,如old,new,young等;
c代表colour,指表示颜色的形容词,如red,black, orange等;
o代表origin,指表示国籍、地区的形容词,如British,Canadian,German等;
m代表material,指表示材料的形容词,如plastic,metal,aluminium等。
英语中这六类形容词连用时就按上述先后顺序排列,如a nice long new black British plastic pen 当然,实际语言使用中不可能出现这么多形容词连用的情况。
请根据形容词排列规则完成以下练习:
1.She has a ___ jacket.(leather,brown,beautiful)
2.He has a ___ car. (American,long,red)
3.They live in a ___ house. (old,beautiful)
