老师您好!
关于名词做定语修饰名词,取代一些介词短语做定语修饰名词,这类做定语的名词有何特点呢?
例如:Christmas card = card for christmas
our garden gate = the gate in our garden
盼复,谢谢!
▲“名词作定语修饰名词”,这种现象在英语中比较常见。作定语时一般情况下使用单数形式。如刚才讨论的问题。
名词作定语修饰另外一个名词,往往是说明被修饰名词的材料、用途、时间、地点、内容、类别等。例如:
材料:a diamond necklace a bamboo pole paper money a stone bridge
用途:a meeting room the telephone poles the railway station trade union water pipe
时间:a day bed the dinner party the Spring and Autumn Period evening suit midday lunch
地点:London hotels Beijing University body temperature the kitchen window
内容:a story book piano lessons the sports meet oxygen supply the grammar rules
类别:children education enemy soldiers a bus driver
▲你的问题:
Christmas card = card for Christmas (名词作定语表示“用途关系”)
our garden gate = the gate in our garden(名词作定语表示“地点关系”)
作定语的名词一般用单数形式。例如:
a stone bridge 石桥
a meeting room 会议室
morning exercise 早操
a story book 故事书
a shoe shop 鞋店
个别情况用复数形式,因为作定语的名词,原本就是以复数形式出现。例如:
a sports meet 运动会
a goods train 货车
customs house 海关
a sales manager 销售主任
