少數派思想隨筆之二十
文/董廣宇
（一）
形容詞一般是一個單詞，假如有兩個及以上單詞構成的形容詞就是複合形容詞。比如：man-made、world-famous、heart-breaking、heart-broken、warm-hearted、one-legged、good-looking、six-year-old、well-known等等。
複合形容詞的組合規律是什麼呢？複合形容詞提煉於名詞短語，而短語是省略的句子，見我的筆記之二。
舉例說明：
a man-made fibre
=a fibre which is made by man
a world-famous writer
=a writer who is famous in the world
a heart-breaking girl
=a girl who breaks his heart
a heart-broken boy
=a boy whose heart is broken
a warm-hearted girl
=a girl who has a warm heart
=a girl with a warm heart
a one-legged man
=a man who has one leg
=a man with one leg
a good-looking girl
=a girl who looks good
a six-year-old boy
=a boy who is six years old
a well-known scientist
=a scientist who is well known
（二）
以上複合形容詞的最後一個詞都是形容詞性的，也有最後一個詞是名詞性的，比如：full-time、ten-year、second-hand、outdoor等等。
由這些複合形容詞組成的名詞短語都可以表示成介詞短語（其中以of居多）。
舉例說明：
a full-time job
=a job of full time
a present-day writer
=a writer of present days
a ten-year experience
=a experience of ten years
a four-day meeting
=a meeting of four days
a first-rate scholar
=a scholar of first rate
a second-hand car
=a car of second hand
an outdoor concert
=a concert outside the building
an underground network
=a network under the ground
