annoying． annoyed． gratifying． gratified． perplexing． perplexed． charming． charmed． fascinating． fascinated．
有些形容词既可表示“激起情绪”，又可表示“感到情绪”：激起情绪 感到情绪
It is curious． He is curious． comfortable． comfortable． fearful． fearful． joyful． joyful． doubtful． doubtful． suspicious． suspicious． clear to him． clear about it． familiar to him． familiar with it．
Ⅴ．冠词
88 冠词the和a、an是最重要也是最复杂的形容词。以man一个词为例，就有下面几种选择：man，a man，men，the men和theman，其中牵涉到是否用冠词及用哪个冠词问题。除了用冠词，还有不用冠词的问题，以及名词的可数与否的问题。
冠词总是放在名词前面，若这个名词有形容词修饰，冠词通常放在形容词前面，若形容词前还有副词，则冠词需放在副词前面，如：
This is a car—a good car—a very good car．
He can answer the question—the difficult question—the most difficult question．
但若形容词为such，many或what，冠词a应放在它后面，如： I never met such a man． He has lived here many a year． What a beautiful park it is！
如果形容词为all，both，half，double或twice，冠词the必须放在它后面：
All the guests have come． Both the brothers study Spanish．
I bought it at half the price（double the price）． （但是：He has waited half an hour or a half hour）．
如果所用副词为so，how，as，too，quite，rather或no less，冠词a就放在副词所修饰的形容词后面及被修饰名词的前面：
It is so（or too）big a dog． How big a dog it is！
Ii is as big a dog as yours．
It is no less big a dog than yours．（=It is as big a dog as yours．） It is quite（or rather）big a dog（or a quite big or a rather big dog）． 如果a后面紧跟的词以元音（不指元音字母）开头，例如在apple，egg，uncle，idle fellow，old man或hour[au+]，M．A．[em ei]，8[eit]，L beam[el bi:m]，H frame[eitM freim]前，就要用an代替a。如果后面的词以辅音开头，即使是元音字母，也只能用a，不能用an，如useful[′ju:sful]，European[′ju+r+′pi+n]，one[w)n]。又，用a还是an，取决于紧跟它的词，而不取决于形容词后的名词。如在an old teacher中，用an是由紧跟它的old决定的，而不是由名词teacher决定的；在an awfully hot climate中，用an是由于紧跟它的副词awfully以元音开头，而不由climate决定。
A．冠词与可数名词
89 1．冠词a有泛指作用，可和单数可数名词连用，隐约地表示“任何一个（即随便哪一个）”：
A dog is intelligent． I like a child．
A big family is hard to support．
90 2．复数可数名词也有泛指作用，隐约地表示“所有的”： Dogs are intelligent． I like children．
Big families are hard to support．
91 3．冠词the可与单数可数名词连用，表示“一类”东西，而不指哪一个。 The dog is intelligent． I play the piano．
The palm grows in many countries． Tomatoes are good for the liver． 以上3种用法是很相近的。
92 4．A还有“一个”或“某个”的意思，可以和单数可数名词连用： A dog is coming． I see a child．
I have to maintain a family． He is a teacher． They call him a fool．
93 5．复数名词，如表示“几个”，或“某几个”，前面需加some这类词（由此也可以看作是一种冠词）：
Some children are playing there．
I met some friends on the street． There are some large schools in New York． I bought some novels． I have some pictures．
在某些特殊情况下，some必须省略：
Children，but not grown－ups，are playing there．（表示对比）I meet either friends or relatives on the street．
I bought both novels and newspapers．
Children are playing there because they have nothing else to do．（注意力在其他方面，而不在孩子的数目上）
I often meet friends at this time and at this place． I bought novels to give to my girlfriend． There are children in this park．（大量的） Hats are sold in this shop． They are children．（作补语） These people are great scientists． I found the demonstrators children．
94 6．The有特指的作用，可用在单数可数名词前，隐约表示“那个”，这时所指是那个人或东西是很清楚的：
I bought a house yesterday afternoon．The house is across the river．（指新买的房子）
I want to see the boss．（你知道the boss指谁） What is the price of this pencil？
Open the window，please．（当然是指这个房间的窗子） The government does not allow gambling．
The enemy was defeated． The moon is rising．
95 7．The也可和复数可数名词连用，隐约地表示“那些”，这时指那些人或东西也是很清楚的：
I bought several houses yesterday．The houses are across the river． I met some nice people at the party．It seems I had seen thegentlemen somewhere．
Open the windows，please． Where are the children？
96 8．The也有表示集体的作用，用在复数可数名词前，隐约地表示“所有（那些）??”：
They are the teachers of our school． The cities of this country are dirty． Have you ever seen the Seven Wonders？ The members of the club are Indians．
B．冠词与不可数名词
97 9．不可数名词，既不能加a，又不能用于复数形式： He has a money．（错）
Thailand produces much rices．（错） You need an advice．（错）
Informations are important in war．（错）
98 10．不加冠词的不可数名词，泛指这类东西，隐约表示“任何数量的??”，“任何程度的??”：
I am fond of milk．
