有句子如下,注意 designer clothes 的用法:
He wears designer clothes and drives an antique car.
句中的 designer 用作定语,它可用作形容词吗?
龙老师:
罗老师的看法很对,我补充几个例句如下:
The shop specializes in designer beers. 这家店专卖名牌啤酒。
He was wearing expensive designer gear. 他穿着昂贵的品牌服装。
Fake designer watches are sold at a fraction of the price of the genuine article. 假的标名手表以远低于真品的价格出售。
The little black designer dress had been an impulse buy. 这条著名设计师设计的黑色小裙子是心血来潮买的。
Wearing designer clothes is a matter of personal prestige for many teenagers. 穿名牌服装对许多青少年来说是关乎个人身分的大事。
designer可以用作形容词,且为定语形容词,即只用于名词前作定语,意思是“由著名设计师设计的”“标有设计师姓名的”“名牌的”。
罗老师:
designer 既可以作名词“时装设计师”,也可以作形容词,这时仅用于名词前,意为“由著名设计师设计的”。所以,在这句话中,designer的确是作定语。
