英语名词作定语与形容词作定语的区别
英语是按照分布面积而言最流行的语言，但母语者数量是世界第三，仅次于汉语、西班牙语。下面为大家带来英语名词作定语与形容词作定语的区别，希望大家喜欢！
1. 名词作定语强调“类指”，而名词所有格则表示“特指”。如：
Please don’t put the dog’s food under the table. 请不要把狗食放在桌子下面。
Dog food costs as much as meal. 狗的食品和人的食品一样贵。
第一句中的dog’s food特指给某一条狗食用的，第二句中的dog food表类别，指供狗食用的食品，而并非只给某条狗食用。
2. 名词作定语表明实质，形容词作定语则起描述与限定作用。如：
silver coins 银币(silver表明本质，即指用银做的币)
silvery hair 银白的头发(silvery起描绘作用，为描绘性形容词)
a luxury hotel 豪华饭店(指官方为饭店定的级别很高，但让人的'感爱未必豪华)
a luxurious hotel 豪华的饭店(只是说其豪华，表明话者的感受，其级别未必很高)
3. 有时采用名词作定语，可能是因为没有相应的派生形容词，此时使直接用名词作定语，或与之构成合成词。如：
school gate 校门(名词school没有相应的形容词)
tomato sauce番茄汁(名词tomato没有相应的形容词)
4. 有时在汉语看来似乎要用形容词作定语，但英语习惯上却要用名词作定语。如：
science fiction 科幻小说 (不说 scientific fiction)
health situation 健康状况(不说healthy situation)
convenience food 方便食品(不说convenient food)
