分詞 — 表達情緒的分詞

表達情緒的分詞像 exciting / excited 一樣,-ing 形和 -ed 形會成對出現,-ing 形是「讓人產生某種情緒的」,-ed 形是「自己感受到那種情緒的」,意思就差在這裡。

概念說明

表達情緒的分詞像 exciting / excited 一樣,-ing 形和 -ed 形會成對出現,-ing 形是「讓人產生某種情緒的」,-ed 形是「自己感受到那種情緒的」,意思就差在這裡。

 

A.  -ing 形 — 讓人產生情緒的 

-ing 形分詞用在事物、狀況或經驗會讓對方產生某種情緒的時候,主要用來修飾事物或狀況。請把-ing = 讓人產生情緒 這個公式整個記起來。

-ing 形態意思主要修飾對象
exciting讓人興奮的事物·狀況
boring讓人覺得無聊的事物·狀況
interesting引起興趣的事物·狀況
tiring讓人疲累的事物·狀況
confusing讓人困惑的事物·狀況
  • The game was exciting. (那場比賽很刺激。)
  • This book is really interesting. (這本書真的很有趣。)
  • The long meeting was tiring. (冗長的會議讓人很累。)
  • The instructions are confusing. (那份說明很令人困惑。)

 

B.  -ed 形 — 自己感受到情緒的 

-ed 形分詞用在人實際感受到那種情緒的時候,主詞通常是人。請用-ed = 自己感受到情緒 這個公式,和 -ing 形配成一組背起來。

-ed 形態意思主要主詞
excited感到興奮的
bored覺得無聊的
interested感興趣的
tired覺得疲累的
confused感到困惑的
  • I am excited about the trip. (我很期待那趟旅行。)
  • The children look bored. (孩子們看起來很無聊。)
  • She is interested in art. (她對藝術有興趣。)
  • We were tired after the hike. (我們爬完山之後很累。)

 

C.  常見配對整理 — 成對記起來 

情緒分詞要把 -ing 和 -ed 配成一組來記,事物·狀況就選 -ing,人就選 -ed,養成這種語感實際使用時就不會混淆

-ing (讓人產生的)-ed (自己感受的)意思
excitingexcited讓人興奮的 / 感到興奮的
boringbored讓人覺得無聊的 / 覺得無聊的
interestinginterested有趣的 / 感興趣的
surprisingsurprised令人驚訝的 / 感到驚訝的
tiringtired讓人疲累的 / 覺得疲累的
confusingconfused讓人困惑的 / 感到困惑的
satisfyingsatisfied令人滿意的 / 感到滿意的
disappointingdisappointed令人失望的 / 感到失望的
shockingshocked令人震驚的 / 感到震驚的
amazingamazed令人驚嘆的 / 感到驚嘆的
  • The result was surprising, and everyone was surprised. (結果很令人驚訝,大家都很驚訝。)
  • The concert was amazing; I was really amazed. (那場音樂會很棒,我真的很驚嘆。)
  • The report was disappointing, so the team felt disappointed. (那份報告令人失望,所以團隊都很失望。)
  • The workout was tiring; I'm still tired. (那次運動很累人,我到現在還很疲倦。)

重點整理

  1. 1-ing 形用來修飾引起情緒的事物·狀況,-ed 形則用來描述實際感受到那種情緒的人。(例: The movie is exciting, I am excited.)
  2. 2中文的「無聊·累·緊張」不管指的是事物還是人都用同一個詞,但英文會依照對象換成完全不同的分詞。(例: The class is boring. / I am bored.)
  3. 3在 look·seem·feel 這類感官動詞後面,只要主詞是人就用 -ed 形。(例: The children look bored, She seems tired.)
  4. 4interested in / excited about / surprised at·by / disappointed with 這些 -ed 形後面的介系詞搭配,最好成組背下來。(例: I am interested in music.)
  5. 5事物·狀況一定要用 -ing 形,像 The movie was bored 這樣用 -ed 形就會很不自然。(例: The movie is boring.)

The action movie was really exciting.
那部動作片真的很刺激。
