Language Points
1. What does he look like?　
他长得什么样子？
1) like可以用作及物动词, 意思为“喜欢”，
后面可以接名词或代词作宾语。
e.g. I like my family. 我喜欢我的家庭。
　 Do you like him? 你喜欢他吗？
2) 但在这个单元里like是介词, 意思为“像”，
“像……一样”。
e.g. He is like his father. 他像他的父亲。
　 The clouds in the sky are like cotton.
天上的云彩像棉花。
look like 看起来像……
e.g. That man looks like a teacher.
那个人看起来像个老师。
要询问“某人长得什么样子”就应该用下面
这个句型。“What does … look like?”
回答就应说出某人长相的特征：
e.g. He is very tall. 他个子很高。
　 She has long hair. 她头发很长。
　 He is short and fat. 他又矮又胖。
2. He isn’t tall or short.
他不高也不矮。
英语中在受到否定概念限定的部分一般不用and，
而用or。这里的or相当于and not。
如：I don’t have any brothers or sisters
我没有兄弟姐妹。
注意这里用的是 or 而不是 and.
3. He has brown hair and wears glasses.
shoes. 他的头发是棕色的而且戴着眼镜。
wear 动词, 可表示“戴着眼镜”, “蓄着……
样的头发”, “穿着……样的衣服”等。
wear的宾语是“衣服、鞋子、眼镜”等。
wear 表示经常性的状态。
put on表示穿的动作。
wear用进行时态时表示短时间内的状态。
e.g. She wears sports shoes every day.
她每天穿运动鞋。
　 Mr. Brown wears glasses.
布朗先生戴着眼镜。
Miss Li is wearing a new dress today.
李老师今天穿着一件新裙子。
He is really handsome.
handsome 表示“英俊、潇洒、帅气”多
用于形容男性。
a handsome boy 一个英俊的男孩。
描述人长相好看的词语还有很多，如：
good-looking、beautiful等。但是good-
Looking与beautiful 的用法是有区别的：
1) beautiful 可以指一个人的“外在美”，
也可指“心灵美”。
除了指人(女性), 还可以指物。
e.g. She is a beautiful girt.
她是个漂亮的女孩。
The flowers are very beautiful.
那些鲜花很美丽。
2) good-looking 指(外表上)看上去
“令人愉快的, 好看的, 漂亮的”, 可指男孩,
也可指女孩。
e.g. He is a good-looking boy.
他是一个漂亮的小男孩。
ordinary-looking 相貌平平的
ugly-looking 相貌不好看的,相貌丑的
还有一个常用来修饰女性的单词：
pretty “漂亮, 靓丽”
e.g. Sun Li is a very pretty film star.
　 孙俪是一个非常漂亮的电影明星。
5. 多个形容词修饰名词时
其顺序为:
限定词--数词--描绘词--(大小, 长短, 形状，
新旧, 颜色)--出处--材料性质, 类别--名词   
a small round table  
a tall gray building  
a dirty old brown shirt 
a famous German medical school
an expensive Japanese sports car
解析: 由“限定词--数词--描绘词--(大小,
长短, 形状, 新旧, 颜色)--性质--名词”的
公式可知数词, 描绘词, 性质依次顺序，
只有C符合答案。
1) Tony is going camping with ____ boys.    A. little two other  B. two little other  
C. two other little   D. little other two
C
练一练
解析: 几个形容词修饰一个名词, 他们的
排列顺序是: 年龄, 形状, 大小+颜色+来源
+质地+用途+国家+名词。
2) One day they crossed the ____ bridge behind 
the palace.
A. old Chinese stone   B. Chinese old stone  
C. old stone Chinese   D. Chinese stone old
A
5. (2005北京，23) This _____girl is Linda’s cousin.
A. pretty little Spanish B. Spanish little pretty
C. Spanish pretty little D. little pretty Spanish
解析: pretty是描绘性形容词，little是表示大小的形容词，Spanish是表示国籍的形容词，所以，它们的排序是pretty little Spanish。
A
一般与被修饰形容词关系密切的形容词靠近
名词; 如果几个形容词的重要性差不多, 音节
少的形容词在前, 音节多的方在后, 在不能确定
时, 可参照下表：限定词+数量词(序数词在前, 基数词在后)
+性状形容词+大小、长短、高低等形体+名词
如: those + three + beautiful + large + square  新旧+颜色+国籍+材料+名词
如: old + brown + wood + table
