当两个以上形容词修饰一个名词,形容词该如何排 列?为什么不能说a black new pen,而是说成a new black pen?这里面有无规
则可循?
如果你记住Opshacom这个为帮助记忆而杜撰的词, 就能掌握英语中形容词排列的顺序。
Opshacom中p代表opinion,指表示人们观点的形容 词,如beautiful,horrible,lovely,nice等;
sh代表shape,指表示形状的形容词,如long,short,round, narrow等;
a代表age,指表示年龄、时代的形容词,如old,new,young等;
c代表colour,指表示颜色的形容词,如red,black, orange等;
o代表origin,指表示国籍、地区的形容词,如British,Canadian,German等;
m代表material,指表示材料的形容词,如plastic,metal,aluminium等。
英语中这六类形容词连用时就按上述先后顺序排列, 如a nice long new black British plastic pen 当然,实际语言使用中不
可能出现这么多形容词连 用的情况。
请根据形容词排列规则完成以下练习:
1.She has a ___ jacket.(leather,brown,beautiful)
2.He has a ___ car. (American,long,red)
3.They live in a ___ house. (old,beautiful)
4.We have a ___ table. (antique,small,wooden)
5.He has a ___ jumper. (woollen, lovely, red)
6.She has a ___ ring. (diamond,new,fabulous)
7.It was a ___ song.(French,old, lovely)
