第12单元 动词
一、概说
A.各种动词形式的构成法
663 英语中的动词时态不好掌握,其原因之一就是有许多使人产生误解的概念。一般现在时很少表示现在时间,过去时又可能表示现在的动作,将来完成时也可能表示过去的事情,现在分词并不总是指现在情况,而过去分词也并不老指过去。在某些情况下,分词纯然是动词,在有些情况下,它同时是动词又是形容词;在另一些情况中,现在分词又变成一个动词兼名词,称为动名词。为了避免某些误解,最好的办法是把它用于句子之前看作是原料,用在句子里之后看作是成品,把这两者严格分开。
664 除了助动词,每个动词都有5个形式,例如see,saw,seen,seeing,to see;又如go,went,gone,going,to go。这些形式都只是原料,不表明它们是指哪个时间、哪种情态及语态,也不表明它们起形容词、副词还是名词的作用。由于它们是没有色彩的字,唯一适当的办法是把see和go称为PP1(Principal Part number one),把saw,went称作PP2,把seen,gone称作PP3,把seeing和going称作PP4,把to see和to go称作PP5,而不用它们现在的名称(现在时、过去时、过去分词、现在分词及不定式)。可以想象,说将来时由will和现在时构成,而过去将来时由would和现在时构成,在“We are playing.”中playing纯粹是动词,而在“It was interesting.”中分词又是形容词,等等,是多么让人糊涂。
665 如把这些形式看作原料,就可以用它们(单独或借助have,be,shall,will这类助动词)构成任何情态、时态、语态而表示特定的意义。下表说明这些主要形式如何构成动词的各种时态,以及有些什么主要意义。
各种动词形式的构成
AUX=may,must,can,should,needn't,daren't,ought to
BE=am,is,are,were,was;can(or could,may,might,will,would,shall,should,must,had to)be;have been

·I want to teach English.(v.and n.)
— PP5 Without to 不带to的不定式:作宾语补语 ·I saw him teach English.
666 根据上面的动词形式表,下面的动词组合是违反英语用法的,因而是错误的:
is go,was teach,have been make,could saw,might took,can saw,may went,have be seen,will coming,would have saw,had be seen,is eat,ought to had come,must seen,want see,will gone
667 下面是一些规则:
1.PP1前可以放任何助动词(即may,might,can,could,must,had to,do,did,will,would,shall,should,ought to,daren't,needn't)。
2.PP2前不能放任何助动词。
3.PP3前可以加have或had构成完成时态。PP3前可以加be的任何形式构成被动语态。前面无have和be时,PP3是形容词(或副词)兼被动的动词。
4.PP4前可加be的任何形式以构成进行时态。前面无助动词时,PP4可以是形容词(分词)或名词(动名词),同时也是动词。
5.PP5起名词、副词或形容词的作用,同时又是动词。在用作宾语补语时,前面可以不加to。
B.动词的主要成分
668 在动词的5个主要成分中,PP4和PP5分别以加-ing及to的方式构成,PP2和PP3大多数都以加-ed的方式构成,但大约有250个动词有不规则的形式。
1.规则动词
669 即使是规则动词,在构成PP2和PP3时,也有变异处,值得注意。
670 PP2及PP3构成法如下:
671 一般情况下在PP1后加-ed。
PP1 PP2 PP3
wish wished wished
talk talked talked
allow allowed allowed
672 PP1若以e结尾,只加-d。
PP1 PP2 PP3
hope hoped hoped
hate hated hated
debate debated debated
(但在构成PP4时,在加-ing前要把e去掉,即为hoping,hating,debating)
673 PP1若以“辅音+元音+辅音”(CVC)结尾,最后的辅音字母要双写,再加-ed。
如果最后音节不重读,最后的辅音字母不必双写:
674 但有一些例外情况:
在构成PP4加词尾-ing时,和加-ed时的情况一样:
675 PP1以c结尾时,要变c为ck再加-ed。
PP1 PP2 PP3
mimic mimicked mimicked
havoc havocked havocked
bivouac bivouacked bivouacked
picnic picnicked picnicked
traffic trafficked trafficked
(比较:mimicking,havocking,bivouacking...)
676 PP1若以y结尾,一般要变y为i,再加-ed。
PP1 PP2 PP3
try tried tried
defy defied defied
study studied studied
testify testified testified
但y前若是一个元音字母,则y不必变。
PP1 PP2 PP3
play played played
destroy destroyed destroyed
employ employed employed
obey obeyed obeyed
但有几个例外情况。
PP1 PP2 PP3
lay laid laid
pay paid paid
say said said
677-ed词尾有3种读音。在清辅音后读作[t]。
jumped [jʌmpt],dipped,developed
booked [bukt],baked,havocked
kissed [kist],promised,perplexed
hashed [hæʃt],finished,demolished
perched [pəːtʃt],inched,lunched
knifed [naift],laughed,photographed
以t或d结尾的词,-ed读作[id]。
acted [ˈæktid],seated,permitted
aided [ˈeidid],ended,succeeded
在其他情况下(即PP1以任何其他字母结尾时),-ed读作 [d]。
loved [lʌvd],named,filled,died,answered,studied,preferred
2.不规则动词
678 几乎所有不规则动词都是单音节词,少数双音节及三音节词也是由单音节词加前缀构成的。
a.bet,bless,knit,make,sweat,tread(单音节词)
b.be-think,fore-tell,mis-take,un-do,re-build,out-grow,over-lie,under-go(加前缀)
c.back-bite,broad-cast,gain-say(合成词)
这些双音节词与三音节词所含的PP2与PP3和单音节词的PP2与PP3一样。
think,thought,thought;bethink,bethought,bethought
tell,told,told;foretell,foretold,foretold
bite,bit,bitten;backbite,backbit,backbitten
许多以-en结尾的PP3都可用作形容词。
frozen fruit,woven thread,hewn timber,cloven hoofs,proven fact,driven snow,grown children,shorn lambs,terror-stricken women,molten iron,drunken people,ill-gotten money
