關(guān)閉窗口 八、“過去分詞作表語”這個語法術(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各類英語教輔、教學(xué)或命題測試等，都在敘說這個不合理、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）
之所以廢止這個語法術(shù)語和語法項目，理由如下：
1. 這類分詞由“使令性動詞”（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，英語中約有幾十個左右這類的動詞。其現(xiàn)在分詞表示“令人怎樣”，過去分詞表示“感到怎樣”。
這類動詞在英語動詞中占比例很小，“作表語”這種說法僅限于這些動詞的分詞（包括現(xiàn)在分詞和過去分詞）。大量的行為動詞沒有此種用法，因此，這個術(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)行時態(tài)造成混淆；過去分詞作表語跟被動語態(tài)造成混淆，不利于英語學(xué)習(xí)。
4. 歸根結(jié)底，這是一個完美的“主系表”結(jié)構(gòu)，表語是由形容詞充當(dāng)?shù)摹＿@時的分詞實際上就是形容詞！
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，是被動的感覺，意為“感到怎樣”。
