　　分词

　　分词是动词的三种非限定形式之一，分词有现在分词和过去分词两种。分词可以在句中作状语及定语。

　　1)现在分词与过去分词的区别

　　现在分词与过去分词的区别主要表现在语态和时间概念上。在语态上，现在分词(除被动式外)表示主动意思，过去分词表示被动意思。在时间上，现在分词表示动作正在进行。过去分词则表示动作已完成。例如：

　　developing countries (发展中国家) developed countries(发达国家)

　　the touching tale (动人的传说) the touched audience(受感动的观众)

　　2)现在分词的用法

　　现在分词可在句中作定语和状语。

　　(1)作定语

　　这是一个紧迫的问题。

　　He asked an embarrassing question.

　　他提了一个令人难堪的问题。

　　现在分词亦可置于它所修饰的名词之后;例如：

　　There were no soldiers drilling.

　　现在分词短语一般皆置于其修饰的名词之后;例如：

　　A little child learning to walk often falls.

　　The men working here are all from the rural areas.

　　(2)作状语

　　a. 表示时间。

　　Climbing to the top of the tower, we saw a magnificent view.

　　He went out shutting the door behind him.

　　强调与谓语动词的动作同时发生时，现在分词之前可用连词when或while。例如：
