一日一句【57】用名词修饰名词

用名词修饰名词

示例：
The conference hall was built three years ago.
这座会议大厅是三年前的建造的。

在一个句子中，把名词用作形容词，放在另一名词之前，是很常见的，它们的关系大致如下：

1. 表示第二个名词由某种东西或材料制成：
　My grandfather used to have a glass bowl like that.
　我祖父以前有一个像这样的玻璃缸。

2. 表示地点：
When he was cleaning the room, he broke the table lamp which was given to him as a wedding present by his uncle.
打扫房间时，他打碎了叔叔给他的结婚礼物的那盏台灯。

3. 表示时间：
　When do you usually have your afternoon tea?
　你通常何时用下午茶？

4. 表示用途或目的：
　He couldn’t find his car keys when he got to the parking lot.
　他到了停车场后，找不到他的车钥匙。

要注意名词用于另一名词之前作形容词，即使其本身含义是复数的，也几乎总
是用单数。

Those men in black suits were house agents.
那些穿黑西装的是房产经纪人。
