May: Shall we go back home now?
Shirley: The dispensary closed. Here is the given prescription.
May: I bought some advanced medicine. Is there anything you need?

阿美：你們在這裏啊。丹丹怎麼樣了？
雪莉：現在好多了。我們剛剛從醫院回來。很幸運我們碰到了一位很好的大夫。
阿美：大夫怎麼說？
雪莉：他說丹尼爾的感冒很嚴重。
阿美：我們現在回家嗎？
雪莉：（醫院的）藥房關了。這是（醫生）給的處方。
阿美：我買了一些高級的藥。看它們有你要的嗎？

雪莉：我帶丹丹先回家，你再去趟藥店。
阿美：好的，這是第三次了。
雪莉：什麼？怎麼會是第三次？

Grammar 語法小結
過去分詞作定語
單個的過去分詞作定語，通常放在被修飾的名詞之前，稱爲前置定語，可以表示被動意義和完成意義。
1．過去分詞作前置定語
被動意義：
an honored teacher 一位受尊敬的老師
the injured workers 受傷的工人
完成意義：
She is a retired teacher. 她是個退休教師。
They are cleaning the fallen leaves in the yard.
他們正在打掃院子裏的落葉。
2．過去分詞作後置定語
They decided to change the material used. 他們決定更換使用的材料。
3．過去分詞短語作定語
通常放在被修飾的名詞之後，它的作用相當於一個定語從句，例如：
This will be the best novel ever written. 這將是小說中寫的最好的。
相當於This will be the best novel that has ever been written.
4. 其它情況
如果被修飾的詞是由every, some, any, no +thing/ body/ one所構成的複合代詞或指示代詞those等時，分詞要放在被修飾詞的後面
Is there anything unsolved? 還有沒解決的問題嗎？
There is nothing changed here since I left. 自從我離開以來，幾乎沒有什麼變化。
