but this did not work either.
然后,他们试着把新鲜的青蒿煮开,用从中提取的液体来疟疾,但这也不管用。
句式分析
句中and 连接前后两个并列的动名词短语boiling fresh wormwood 和using the liquid 作宾
语,obtained from this 是过去分词短语作定语,修饰liquid.
重点语法
过去分词(短语)作定语
单个的过去分词作定语时,常放在被修饰词之前;过去分词短语作定语时,常放在被修饰词之后,它的作用相当于一个定语从句。
I was requested to carry out a plan supported by most people.
=I was requested to carry out a plan which was supported by most people.
我被要求执行一个多数人支持的计划。
注意:
①有些单个的过去分词,在习惯上往往放在被修饰词之后。
There is little time left. Let's hurry up. 剩余的时间不多了,咱们抓紧吧。
②过去分词修饰代词时,应放在被修饰词之后。
Nothing reported in the newspaper interested him. 报纸上没什么报道使他感兴趣。
③有些过去分词作定语,前置和后置的意义不同。试比较:
This is a used car. 这是一辆二手汽车。
The method used is very efficient. 所用的方法很有效。
误区警示
①不及物动词:只表示完成,不表示被动。
fallen leaves 落叶
the risen sun 升起的太阳
②及物动词:表示被动或完成。
deeply moved people 深受感动的人们
the broken glass 碎了的杯子

upon 一……就……
Upon receiving a phone call from his wife saying she had a fall, Mr. Green immediately rushed
home from his office.
一接到妻子的电话说她摔了一跤,格林先生就立即从办公室赶回家了。
