a watched pot never boils. 心急鍋不開。

提示: 如要表示強調,單個動詞-ed形式也可作后置定語。
money spent is more than money earned. 入不敷出。
2. 帶有修飾語或其他成分的v-ed形式一般都作后置定語,在語法上相當于一個定語從句。 被邀請到招待會上的貴賓有一半都是外國大使。
the meeting, attended by one thousand students, was a success.

v-ing 和v-ed形式作定語的區別
1.及物動詞的-ing形式作定語表示與被修飾名詞是主動關系,及物動詞的-ed 形式表示與被修飾名詞是被動關系。
the group called green hand is trying to help the environment.
2.不及物動詞-ing形式表示動詞正在進行,而v-ed形式表示動作已完成。
the rising sun 正在升起的太陽 the risen sun 升起了的太陽
falling leaves 正在飄落的葉子 fallen leaves 落葉
不及物動詞-ed形式只表示完成的意義,并不帶有被動的含義。
an escaped prisoner = a prisoner who has escaped 逃犯
a retired worker = a worker who has retired 退休工人
a newly arrived guest = a guest who has just arrived 新來的客人

v-ing形式作狀語
動詞-ing形式可以作狀語,修飾動詞,其動作執行者與句子主語是主動一致。在句中表示時間、原因、結果、條件、讓步、行為方式或伴隨情況等。動詞-ing形式作時間、原因、條件、讓步狀語時多位于句首;作結果、伴隨情況狀語時常位于句末。
1 表示時間,相當于一個時間狀語從句。
having made full preparations, we are ready for the examination.
(= after we have made full preparations...)
2 表示原因,相當于一個原因狀語從句。
being ill, he didn't go to school yesterday. (= since he was ill...)
3 表示結果,相當于一個并列謂語。
his father died, leaving him a lot of money. (= and left him a lot of money.)
