worried作定语可以修饰人吗

用作形容词的 worried 主要用作表语。如:
The youth today are worried about jobs. 今天的年轻人担心找不到工作。
She is very worried about her sick mother. 她很担心她生病的母亲。
She seems very worried about something. 她像是在为什么事犯愁。
Though he seems happy, yet he is worried. 虽然他看起来很幸福,但他实际上很烦恼。
老师说,worried 有时也用作定语,但只用于修饰表示“表情”的形容词,如 expression, look, glance, frown 等。如:
She was sitting behind her desk with a worried expression (look) on her face.
请问专家老师,worried 作定语时可以修饰具体的人吗?比如:worried people, worried students, worried children, worried parents, worried teachers 等等。谢谢!

worried 作定语,完全可以修饰“人”,你上面举的例子都是对的。例如:

The worried parents of the boys brought them to the local psychologist.

不仅 worried 可以这样用,其他 -ed 形容词也有同样的用法。

the excited children

the terrified people

a frightened hunter

an amused boy

......

例句:

Interested members will meet at two. 感兴趣的会员两点钟碰头。

The worried doctor rang for an ambulance. 心情焦虑的医生打电话叫救护车。

A delighted audience demanded four encores. 高兴的观众要求她又唱了四支歌。

Since he lost the election he’s a disappointed man. 自从选举失败以来,他一直灰心丧气。

The excited children are opening their Christmas presents. 激动的孩子们正在把圣诞礼物打开。
