a talk by a teacher 的意思是“老师作的报告”,可视为 talk 后面省略了过去分词 given,即 a talk by a teacher=a talk given by a teacher。如:

After the reception, there will be a talk by the professor. 招待会后将有教授的演讲。

类似的用法如:

a book by my teacher = a book written by my teacher 我的老师写的一本书

a painting by Van Gogh= a painting painted by Van Gogh 凡高的一幅画作

a novel by Graham Greene= a novel written by Graham Greene 格雷厄姆·格林所写的小说

更多典型例句:

He has a painting by Hockney. 他收藏有霍克内的一幅画儿。

She gave a recitation of a poem by Goethe. 她朗诵了歌德的一首诗。

I am reading a play by Shaw. 我正在读一本由萧伯纳写的剧本。

I’m reading a book by Thomas Keneally. 我正在读一本托马斯?基尼利写的书。

They’re playing a waltz by Strauss. 他们在演奏斯特劳斯的圆舞曲。

有时候,用介词短语 by sb. 作定语,比过去分词短语done by sb. 作定语,在语义上更加广泛,但比较模糊,会产生歧义,因为有了动词才能明确词义。所以在使用上要注意选择。例如:

I like the music by Tom.   有两层意思:

I like the music composed by Tom.

I like the music played by Tom.
