如《郎文英语语法》描述为:品质→尺寸→新旧→样式→颜色→产地→过去分词。
为了让英语学习者容易记住这些形容词的顺序,英国广播公司(BBC)在英语教学节目"Professor Grammar"中提出了一种称为OPSHACOM的方法。
OPSHACOM 是个拼缀词,它的涵义如下:OP---opinion评述性词。
如beautiful,wonderful,expensive,terrible, horrible,lovely,silly,ugly SH---size &shape表大些形状的词。
如 long,short,round,square等。
A---age表新旧的词。
如new,old等。
C---colour表颜色的词。
如red,black,purple,brown,yellow等。
O---origin表产地的词。
如Italian,Spanish,Canadian,Australian,Japanese 等。
M---material表材料的词。
如leather,glass,rubber,metal,silk,plastic等。
按此顺序,"一件新的漂亮的意大利的黑皮茄克"的英语为"a beautiful new black Italian leather jacket。
" 理论上一个名词前可有9个形容词,但在实际语言材料中一般不超过5个。
因此,掌握了本方法可基本解决形容词修饰名词时的顺序问题。
学习OPSHACOM方法时还要注意以下事项:1 各修饰词(即形容词)可有缺项,但顺序不变。
如:a small Swiss watch。
2 当表大小(或长短)的词与表形状的词同时出现时,大小(或长短)在前,形状在后。
如:a large square table。
3 定冠词、不定冠词、指示代词、形容词性所有格、数词等位于句首。
4 数词位于定冠词、指示代词后。
(数词不与不定冠词或形容词性所有格连用)5 分词最*近所修饰的名词。
