英汉语静动特征对比

Stative Characteristic of English VS. Dynamic Characteristic of Chinese

汉语中的动词没有词形变化,动词可直接充当主语、谓语、宾语、定语、状语、补语等成分,致使汉语呈动态特征。英语在正式文体中习惯于用名词或名词性短语来表动作,而且谓语常用弱化或虚化动词,致使英语呈静态特征。

Since there is no inflection in Chinese verbs, the verbs can serve directly as subject, predicate, object, attribute, adverbial, complement, etc., which results in dynamic characteristic of Chinese. In English, especially in formal styles, nouns or noun phrases are often used to represent action, and verbs of feeble phenomenality and vague phenomenality are often used as predicate, which results in stative characteristic of English.
