八、“過去分詞作表語”這個(gè)語法術(shù)語應(yīng)廢止

目前，幾乎所有的英語語法書、英語教科書以及各級(jí)各類英語教輔、教學(xué)或命題測試等，都在敘說這個(gè)不合理、不正確的說法：過去分詞（包括現(xiàn)在分詞）作表語。

例如，這樣的例子比比皆是：

The speech is very interesting. （現(xiàn)在分詞interesting作表語）

We were all amazed at the news. （過去分詞amazed作表語）

之所以廢止這個(gè)語法術(shù)語和語法項(xiàng)目，理由如下：

1. 這類分詞由“使令性動(dòng)詞”（使人的心理情緒等發(fā)生變化）演變而來，如satisfy, surprise, interest, excite, please，等等，英語中約有幾十個(gè)左右這類的動(dòng)詞。其現(xiàn)在分詞表示“令人怎樣”，過去分詞表示“感到怎樣”。

這類動(dòng)詞在英語動(dòng)詞中占比例很小，“作表語”這種說法僅限于這些動(dòng)詞的分詞（包括現(xiàn)在分詞和過去分詞）。大量的行為動(dòng)詞沒有此種用法，因此，這個(gè)術(shù)語無法概括英語語言的基本現(xiàn)象和規(guī)律。

2. 英語語法的術(shù)語已經(jīng)非常繁雜，遵循刪繁就簡的原則，無論從教學(xué)還是研究角度，“現(xiàn)在分詞或過去分詞作表語”，應(yīng)該廢除。

3. 這個(gè)術(shù)語可能讓英語初學(xué)者產(chǎn)生誤解：現(xiàn)在分詞作表語跟進(jìn)行時(shí)態(tài)造成混淆；過去分詞作表語跟被動(dòng)語態(tài)造成混淆，不利于英語學(xué)習(xí)。

4. 歸根結(jié)底，這是一個(gè)完美的“主系表”結(jié)構(gòu)，表語是由形容詞充當(dāng)?shù)摹＿@時(shí)的分詞實(shí)際上就是形容詞！

九、同源現(xiàn)在分詞和過去分詞之比較

以下為常見的由“使令性動(dòng)詞”變化而來的現(xiàn)在分詞和過去分詞的用法。現(xiàn)在分詞表示事物本身的性質(zhì)以及給人的感受，意為“令人怎樣”；過去分詞表示人的心理和情緒變化，是被動(dòng)的感覺，意為“感到怎樣”。
