老师好!新概念三第48课里有一句话:
The path led to a tiny village perched on the steep sides of a mountain.
句中perched怎么理解:
1. 理解成定语从句的谓语 a tiny village (which / that) perched on the steep sides of a mountain
2. 理解成过去分词,相当于 a tiny village (which / that ) was perched on the steep sides of a mountain.
我的疑问主要是,perch 这个单词究竟是及物动词还是不及物动词?
这里可以理解为过去分词作定语即可。这里的perch 属于及物动词。be perched on sth 属于习惯搭配,尽管报刊上也可看到相同语境中用perching的现象。请看《朗文词典》的解释:
be perched on/above etc something
to be in a position on top of something or on the edge of something
a house perched on a cliff above the town
