雅思阅读定语后置现象解析

雅思阅读中是有很多细节需要注意的，不仅需要足够的词汇量来理解文章的意思，还需要了解文章中定语后置的现象，这样可以帮助大家更好的理解。今天我们就为大家整理了雅思阅读定语后置现象解析，一起来了解一下吧。

一般情况下，我们都是用形容词做前置定语来修饰限定名词和代词，比如给出一句非常简单常见的例句：“My brother is a tall thin handsome man. ”。但是雅思考生们要清楚的是，并不是所有的定语都可以用简简单单几个单个的形容词就可以修饰完毕，因而会出现稍微复杂一些的定语后置现象。比如我想要表达“我表弟是一个沉迷于电脑游戏的男孩。”，那么就必须得用一句话或者比形容词稍长一些的短语来描述“沉迷于电脑游戏”这样一个情况，也就是所谓的后置定语。例句可以这样写出：“My cousin is a boy who has been addicted to playing computer games. ”，也可以这样写出：“My cousin is a boy addicted to playing computer games.”。这两句就是前者运用了传统的定语从句作后置定语修饰先行词“boy”而后者则是运用了形容词短语“be addicted to doing something”省略掉be动词作后置定语。除了以上两种后置定语，另外还有动词的现在分词形式，过去分词形式，to do不定式，介词短语这四种定语后置的情况，都不仅是雅思阅读题目以及原文中经常出现的，而且造句写作也完全可以活用的技巧。
