    passed是動詞pass的過去式和過去分詞,當它用作分詞,修飾某個名詞時,有強調該名詞的意味。例如:On our way home we passed through a picturesque village.在回家的路上,我們經過了一個風景如畫的村子。I consider that the days passed in this way are memorable.我認為以這種方式度過的日子是值得紀念的。
    past不能用作動詞,但可以用作介詞,副詞,名詞和形容詞。作形容詞時,既可放在所修飾名詞的前面作定語,也可用作連系動詞be的表語。例如:In the past, only men had a vote.過去只有男子才有選舉權。He dashed forward, paying no attention to the bullets that whizzed past him.他沖向前去,不顧耳邊飛過的槍彈。During the past few days, many visitors have flocked into the town.在過去的幾天當中,許多參觀者涌入城里。Those times are past.那樣的時代過去了。注意:當past作形容詞,其前面有定冠詞時,past放在所修飾的名詞之前;沒有定冠詞時,past放在所飾的名詞之后。試比較下面的短語:for the past few months 過去的幾個月
