以a字母开头的形容词,如' asleep', 'alone ' 等只能做表语。如: The two brothers are very much alike. Although old, he is very much alive. 我们不可以说: × an asleep child × an alive fish 这样的形容词有很多,比如:alike, alone, asleep, alive, aglow alone, afraid, asleep, aware, awake 等等。 不过,该形容词前面有副词修饰的时候,也可以连同副词一起用作名词的修饰语。比如我们可以说: the fast asleep a child the wide awake patient |
