Order of Adjectives | Images 形容词的顺序|图像
To summarize, in English, adjectives pertaining to size precede adjectives pertaining to age (“little old“, not “old little“), which in turn generally precede adjectives pertaining to color (“old white“, not “white old“). So, we would say “A (determiner) beautiful (opinion) old (age) Indian (origin) lamp.” 总而言之，在英语中，与大小有关的形容词位于与年龄有关的形容词之前(“little old”，而不是“old little”)，后者通常位于与颜色有关的形容词之前(“old white”，而不是“white old”)。所以，我们会说“一个(决定性的)美丽(意见)老(时代)印度(起源)灯。”
English has some adjectives that follow the noun as postmodifiers, called postpositive adjectives, such as time immemorial and attorney general. Adjectives may even change meaning depending on whether they precede or follow, as in proper: They live in a proper town. (a real town, not a village) vs. They live in the town proper. (in the town itself, not in the suburbs). All adjectives can follow nouns in certain constructions, such as tell me something new. 英语中有一些形容词跟在名词后面作为后修饰语，称为后置形容词，例如远古时代和司法部长。形容词甚至可以根据它们的前面或后面的位置来改变意思，例如:它们住在一个合适的城镇里。(一个真正的城镇，而不是村庄)vs.他们住在城里。(在城镇本身，不在郊区)。在某些结构中，所有形容词都可以跟在名词后面，比如告诉我一些新的东西。
