Adjectives with complementation 帶補足語的形容詞
7.22 Adjectives with complementation (cf 16.68ff) normally cannot have attributive position but require postposition. Compare:
※帶有補足語的形容詞通常（參見16.88ff）不能放在定語位置上，而是要求放在名詞的后面。試比較：
正：a suitable actor
誤：*a suitable for the part actor
The complementation can be a prepositional phrase or a to-infinitive clause:
※這種補足語可以是一個介詞短語，也可以是一個帶to的不定式分句：
I know an actor suitable for the part. [l]
我認識一個適合扮演這個角色的演員。
They have a house larger than yours. [2]
他們的房子比你的大。
The boys easiest to teach were in my class. [3]
那些最容易教的男孩子是我班的。
Students brave enough to attempt the course deserve to succeed. [4]
那些敢于嘗試學這門課的學生應該獲得成功。
The postpositive structures can of course be regarded as reduced relative clauses:
※當然，可以把這種后置結構看成是縮簡的關系分詞：
I know an actor who is suitable for the part. [la]
If the adjective is alone or merely premodified by an intensifier, postposition is not normally allowed:
※如果形容詞被單獨使用，或只被一個強化語所修飾，一般來說，這個形容詞就不能放在它所修飾的名詞后面：
*They have a house (much) larger.
*The soldiers (rather) timid approached their officer.
