21世纪注定是一个网络时代，各种网络词汇也应运而生，有些是土生土长的，如“神马都是浮云”（“什么都是浮云”的谐音）、鸭梨（“压力”的谐音）；有些是舶来品，如博客（blog）；而有些则是中西合璧，如gelivable（给力）、工作ing。ing 在英语中表示某个动作正在进行，是现在分词的构成要件。下面就让我们认识一下现在分词及与其相对的过去分词吧。
32.1分词的基本概念
分词分为现在分词（The Present Participles）和过去分词（The Past Participles）。现在分词与过去分词的区别在于：现在分词表示主动的、正在进行的动作，而及物动词的过去分词表示已经完成且被动的动作，不及物动词的过去分词只表示完成的意义。
32.2分词的形式
32.3分词的语法功能
1.作定语
（1）单个的分词作定语，一般放在被修饰词的前面，也叫前置修饰语。及物动词的现在分词作定语强调主动，过去分词强调被动。例如：
the excited audience 激动的观众 an exciting speech 激动人心的演讲
a conquered army 吃了败仗的军队 a conquering army 攻无不克的军队
a recorded talk 被录制的谈话 a recording machine 录音机
（2）不及物动词的现在分词作定语强调动作正在进行，过去分词强调完成，不表被动。
例如：
boiling water 正在沸腾的水 boiled water 已经沸腾过的水
fading flowers 正在凋谢的花朵 faded flowers 已经凋谢的花朵
a drowning man 一个快要淹死的人 a drowned man 一个已经淹死的人
falling leaves 正在飘落的树叶 fallen leaves 落叶
（3）分词短语作定语放在被修饰词的后面也相当于一个定语从句。例如：
Who is the man standing by the door？
站在门边的那个人是谁？
The first textbook written for teaching English as a foreign language came out in the 16th century.
将英语作为外语教授的第一本教科书于16世纪问世。
The students playing in the playground are my classmates.
在操场上玩耍的学生们是我的同学。
These plastic bottles used already can be recycled.
这些已经用过的塑料瓶子可以回收。
Dialogue & Analysis（此处有视频学习资料）

B： This is a moving story.（现在分词表示主动意义。在本句中相当于“This is a story that moves people.”。）
B： I was deeply moved by it.（过去分词表示被动意义。）
A： Woman！ You are too woman！
C： Help！ Help！
B： Someone must be drowning.（现在分词表示进行中的动作。）
A： It is really a surprising news.
B： The surprised people are running to site of accident.
B： Oh， my dear！ The drowned man can not come back to life.（过去分词表示动作已经完成。）
A： Excuse me！ Excuse me！ Give me a way， please.The drowned man is my father.

3.His son was (disappointing， disappointed).The old man felt unhappy.
4.His son was (disappointing， disappointed)， so he regretted not having prepared much for the test.
2.作表语
作表语时，现在分词表示事物的性质或特征，表主动的状态；过去分词表示人的感受，表被动的状态。例如：
The news is surprising.
这消息令人吃惊。
We are surprised at the news.
我们对这则消息感到吃惊。
I am very interested in the interesting story.

2.Jack looked even more (amaze) than he felt.

3.作补语
分词作补语时，通常用在感官动词（see， hear， feel， notice， find， watch）和役动动词（make，have， keep， get， leave， catch， set）之后。下面以感官动词see 为例来解析分词作补语的内涵：
（1）see sb./sth.do（主动、动作的全过程）
（2）see sb./sth.doing（主动、动作正在发生）
（3）see sb./sth.done（被动、动作的全过程）
（4）see sb./sth.being done（被动、动作正在发生）
例如：

我发现我的车不见了。
I"ll have my watch repaired.

5.I caught the boy in the exam.

4.作状语
现在分词作状语表示主动，过去分词（短语）作状语表示被动。分词作状语时表示时间、原因、理由、条件、让步等，相当于一个状语从句。分词作状语时，选择现在分词还是过去分词，关键看主句，如果分词的动作是主句的主语发出的，分词就选用现在分词，反之就用过去分词。例如，Seen from the top， the stadium looks like a bird nest.
从上面看，体育场好像一个鸟巢。
Seeing from the space， the astronaut can not discover the Great Wall.
从太空看，宇航员看不到长城。

A： Where shall we go？
B： I know a good restaurant called April Fools.
A： April Fools？ The restaurant is strangely named.（过去分词用作表语。）I never heard a restaurant named like this（.过去分词可以在feel， hear， keep， notice， see等动词的宾语后面作补足语，表示被动，通常表示已经完成的动作。）
C： Oh， the restaurant is right beside the shopping mall.But going to that restaurant is along way.（going to that restaurant 作主语。）
A： Those not wanting to go can stay here.（分词可以在名词的前面或后面作修饰语，但在修饰代词时只能用在代词的后面。在本句中，wanting 在代词those 后面作修饰语。）
C： That is too much.I have never heard anyone talking to me like this.（现在分词可以在feel， find， hear， keep， see 等动词或者动词短语的后面作补足语，表示和主要动词的动作是同时发生的。）

The three stars looked at each other and agreed.They then went into the jungle to look for some food.Spielberg was the first to come back.He came up to the altar and offered grapes.She tasted one and immediately spat it out.She ordered her servants to shove the rest of them up his ass.The servants finished their duty， leaving a screaming Spielberg.Schwarzenegger was the next to arrive with some yummy apples.The same thing happened to him， but curiously he laughed as the apples were shoved up his ass.
Spielberg was shocked.Here he was with grapes up his ass howling in pain， but Schwarzenegger had several apples in his ass and he was still laughing.He asked him ‘‘What the hell are you laughing at？"" A laughing Schwarzenegger replied ‘‘Pierce is coming back with a watermelon.""
