[文法] 复合形容词的问题(2/2)

楼主: aqw123 (Θ)   2020-07-29 16:39:10
【怕讨论串混乱,所以分开问 (2/2) 】
复合形容词有一种类型是“N+Ving / N+Vpp”
这两种的不同我有懂
heart-breaking news 与 the heart-broken man
(Ving是主动,Vpp是被动)
我想问的问题是,为什么有一些少数时候
复合形容词不遵守“Ving是主动,Vpp是被动”的规律?
例如:
1. well-behaved (O) 但 well-behaving (X)
2. well-learned (O) 但 well-learning (X)
3. well-read (O) 但 well-reading (X)
网络上有老外也问了类似的问题
“Why “well-behaved” instead of “well-behaving””

该网页的网友CAVEAT的回答是:
“"Why?" questions can often be unanswerable in historical linguistics. One can
only discuss factors that might have had an influence, and describe how they
interact through the passage of time.”
虽然有人讨论过了
但是还是想来英文版跟大家讨论一下
有人有其他看法或资讯吗?
欢迎知道的人指教一下
谢谢大家
