动态助词"着"

HSK 2Lesson 13
The Particle "着" (a Continuing State)
结构Pattern
主语 Subject动词+着 Verb + 着宾语 Object
门开着
马克拿着铅笔
她穿着红衣服
小美笑着说
解释Explanation

"动词+着"表示一个动作完成以后留下的状态还在继续,比如"门开着""他穿着红衣服"。"V1着+V2"表示做第二个动作的方式,比如"笑着说""拿着书走"。否定形式是"没(有)+动词+着"。

Verb + 着 (zhe) describes a state that continues after an action: 门开着 "the door is (standing) open", 他手里拿着铅笔 "he's holding a pencil". It paints a picture of how things are right now, so it often goes with 呢 at the end. In the pattern V1着 + V2, the first verb tells you the manner of the second: 笑着说 "to say with a smile", 拿着书去教室 "to go to class carrying books". The negative is 没(有) + verb + 着: 门没开着 "the door isn't open".
