三、-ed形容词和-ing形容词用法的说明
有的人认为，-ed形容词只用于人，-ing形容词只用于物。其实，这种说法不很准确，太绝对了，其中的反例多的是――假若你是一个幽默的人，讲话也风趣，平时还和朋友开玩笑，那么别人就说你是一个有趣的人，用英语他会怎么说呢？他会说：You are so interesting. 又比如：有个小孩很淘气，父母很为他担心，此时我们就可以说：
The parents are worried about their worrying son. 父母在为他们令人担忧的儿子感到担忧。
句中用worried说明父母，是因为父母感到担心；用worrying说明儿子，是因为这个儿子令父母担心――你看，是不是-ing形容词也完可以用于说明人！
另一方面，-ed形容词用于指物的情况也不少见。比较并体会：
a frightened look 害怕的表情(指带有这种“表情”的人感到害怕)
a frightening look 吓人的表情(指这种“表情”令人害怕)
an excited talk 心情激动的谈话(指“谈话”的人心情激动)
an exciting talk 令人激动的谈话(指听“谈话”的人心情激动)
