这个过去分词是被动谓语的一部分还是过去分词作前置定语

问题描述

Cygnus will also take 38 CubeSats, which are miniaturized satellites designed for research purposes, to the station for deployment later.

satellites后面已经有一个过去分词修饰了，能不能前面还有一个过去分词修饰？

老师答疑

解答如下：

miniaturized 为过去分词作前置定语修饰后面名词"satellites"

miniaturized satellites 意思为“ 使小型化的卫星；使微型化的卫星”等于“satellites which are miniaturized”

designed 为过去分词作后置定语修饰前面名词"satellites"

 satellites designed 意思为“用于 预定;指定”等于“satellites which are designed for research”
