如果一个短语需要用两个以上形容词修饰其中心语，很多同学会搞乱这几个形容词顺序。比如说一支新的黑色钢笔，black和new谁在前谁在后呢?为什么不能说a black new pen，而是说成a new black pen?这里面有无规则可循?

　　其实如果记住Opshacom这个为帮助记忆而杜撰的词， 就能掌握英语中形容词排列的顺序。

　　Opshacom中p代表opinion，指表示人们观点的形容 词，如beautiful，horrible，lovely，nice等;

　　sh代表shape，指表示形状的形容词，如long，short，round, narrow等;

　　a代表age，指表示年龄、时代的形容词，如old，new，young等;

　　c代表colour，指表示颜色的形容词，如red,black, orange等;

　　o代表origin，指表示国籍、地区的形容词，如British，Canadian，German等;

　　m代表material，指表示材料的形容词，如plastic，metal，aluminium等。

　　英语中这六类形容词连用时就按上述先后顺序排列， 如a nice long new black British plastic pen 当然，实际语言使用中不可能出现这么多形容词连 用的情况。

　　答案与解析

　　1.答案是C。由限定词--数词--描绘词--(大小，长短，形状，新旧，颜色) --性质--名词的顺序可知数词，描绘词，性质依次顺序，只有C符合答案。

　　2.答案A. 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。

　　3.答案是B。本题考查多个形容词的排序问题。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：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 新旧 颜色 国籍 材料 名词，如those three beautiful large square old brown wood table。
