思路引導 VIP

請試著思考:當我們形容一個「事物」本身具有某種影響別人的力量(例如這場令人震驚的地震),與形容一個人「內心」感受到這種力量,在英文分詞的字尾變化上(-ing 與 -ed)通常會有什麼樣的區別?

恭喜你精準地選出了正確答案!這題考查的是分詞(Participle)作為形容詞的用法,你能從語境中判斷出地震與「破壞」之間的邏輯關係,展現了相當紮實的語法功底。

分詞形容詞的語意辨析

在英語語法中,當我們使用動詞轉化的分詞來修飾名詞時,必須區分「主動特質」與「被動感受」。本題的受修飾詞是 earthquakes(地震),地震是造成損害的「來源」,具有毀滅性的「特質」,因此必須選用現在分詞 devastating(破壞性的)來描述其性質。若誤選了過去分詞 devastated,語意則會變成「感到崩潰的」或「被摧毀的」,這通常是用來形容受災後的「人」或「家園」,而非形容地震本身。
