初中英语中的后置定语在英汉两种语言中,定语的作用大致相同，但值得注意的是，汉语里的定语都是放在它所修饰词之前,而在英语里,定语的位置既有在被修饰的词之前,也有在被修饰的词之后，本课主要就初中英语教学中常见的后置定语作一探讨。一、所有的短语作定语要后置（介短、形短、不短、分短）1.介词短语作后置定语thefalloftheRomanEmpire罗马帝国的灭亡childrenunderten10岁以下的孩子athirstforknowledge求知欲hisexperienceinteachingphonetics他教授语音学的经验ThenthemanintheshopunderstoodwhattheFrenchmanmeant.（介词短语）Iseeyou’vemadesomedrawingsofourdefenceworks.2.不定式短语作后置定语Hehadnotimetothinkaboutrest.3.分词短语作后置定语，在意思上相当于一个定语从句Chinastretchesacrossavastareacovering(=whichcovers)thecold,temperateandtropicalzones.中国幅员辽阔，包括寒带、温带和热带。Wearebrotherssharing(=whoshare)wealandwoe.我们是患难与共的兄弟。Theyliveinaroomfacing(=thatfaces)thesea.他们住在一间朝南的房子里。Theyareproblemsleft(=whichhavebeenleft)overbyhistory.这些是历史遗留下来的问题。Theproblem(thatwas)discussedhasbeensolved.Theamountofwork(thatwas)donecanbemeasuredinthisway.Theexperience(thathasbeen)gainedwillbeofgreatvaluetous.Therewereveryfewpeoplelivinghere.(现在分词短语)Mr.Smith,thebossofasmallfactory,oncehiredayoungworkercalledJohnHill.(过去分词短语)4.形容词短语作后置定语，相当于一个定语从句Hecastitasecondtimeanddrewinanoldbasketfullofsand.Hesawamagazineonthetablenexttohim.wordsuitabletotheoccasion适合这样场合的言辞avillageremotefromthemaddingcrowd远离喧嚣尘世的村庄sentencesdifficulttounderstand难于理解的句子amanreadytolendahandatanytime一个随时乐于帮助他人的人二、所有的定语从句一律自然后置ThenthereisonlyonethingIcando.三、甚至许多单个单词也可作后置定语：1.形容词作后置定语①四one、四thing、四body、四where的修饰语（如something,somewhere,anyone,anybody），定语只能后置。Haveyoureadanythinginteresting?Anyoneintelligentcandoit.任何有脑子的都能做这事。Therewassomebodyelseintheroombesidesus.Let’sgosomewherequiet.Hewantedtogetsomeonereliabletohelpinthiswork.他想找一个可靠的人帮忙做这工作。Thisstorecarrieseverythingnecessaryforpainting.这家商店卖绘画所需的任何商品。ThereissomethingwrongwithmyTV.我的电视出毛病了。Soit’snothingserious,Doctor?Onedaywhiletheywereworkinginthefields,somefarmersawsomethingstrangeinthesky.Thereissomethingimportantintoday'snewspaper.今天报纸上有条重要新闻。Hewantedtogetsomeonereliabletohelpinthiswork.他想找个可靠的人帮忙做这项工作。Canyoufindanywherequiet?你能找个清静的地方吗?Hehasbeensenttosomewhereparticular.他已被派到某个特殊的地方去了。②某些以-able或–ible结尾的形容词若与有限制性较强的定语.如only,all,any,every或形容词最高级连用，表示暂时的特征或现象时，常后置。Wemustsavethepatientbyeverymeansimaginable.It’sthebestperformancepossible.这是再好没有的表演了。Thisisthebestsolutionpossible.That’stheonlystarvisiblenow.那是颗现在唯一可见的星。There’sonlyalittlemoneyavailableforthetrip.这趟旅行只有少数的钱可供花用。Hewastheonlyactorsuitable.他是唯一合适的演员。It'stheonlysolutionpossible.这是唯一可能采取的解决办法。Arethereanyticketsavailable?还有票吗?That'stheonlystarvisiblenow.那是颗现在唯一可见的星星。③两个或两个以上的形容词词组作定语、修饰泛指意义的名词时常后置，以加强语气。如：Ihaveneverseenafilmmoreinterestingandinstructive.我还从未看过这样有趣又有教育意义的电影。Allvillagers,youngandold,wentouttoharvestthecrops.老少村民都去收割庄稼了。Weliketheteachersbothknowledgeabl...
