过去分词作定语究竟有几种含义理解?

偶尔看到有老师说:

一般来说,用作定语的过去分词短语所表示的时间应与句中的谓语动词一致,但有时可能表示不同的时间:

The only car repaired by the mechanic is mine.

这句话中的repaired可能是that is being repaired,但也可能意为that is repaired, that will be repaired 或 that was repaired, 当然,确切意义一般要从特定的上下文可以看出。

我有几点疑惑:

1)用作定语的过去分词短语所表示的时间应与句中的谓语动词一致 - 这种说法对吗?

2)上句中的repaired,究竟有几种理解?我认为可以理解为that is/was/has been repaired, 不能理解为that is being repaired, 也不能理解为that will be repaired.

麻烦老师详解!

The only car repaired by the mechanic  is mine.

过去分词作定语可以表示习惯,也可以表示事件。前者转换为定语从句用一般现在时,后者转换为定语从句,则用一般过去时或现在完成时。无论如何,它不可能表将来或进行,因为将来意义用不定式的被动式 to be done,进行意义用现在分词的被动式 being done。

The only car repaired by the mechanic  is mine.

= The only car that was/has been repaired by the mechanic  is mine.

The only car to be repaired by the mechanic  is mine.

= The only car that will be repaired by the mechanic  is mine.

The only car being repaired by the mechanic  is mine.

= The only car that is being repaired by the mechanic  is mine.

 

过去分词作定语,可以表示习惯意义,举例:

The products produced by this company are always very popular.

= The products which are produced by this company are always very popular.
