1. 作名词前位修饰语:单个分词作定语通常放在它所修饰的名词前面,如:
 working people (劳动人民)
 touching story (动人的故事)
 sleeping child (酣睡的小孩)
 striking contrast (鲜明的对比)
 hired hands (雇来的人手)
 armed forces (武装部队)
 canned food (罐头食品)

 现在分词和动名词作定语的区别:现在分词表示名词的状态和特征,意思上接近一个
 定语从句;动名词表示名词的用途和有关的动作,如:
  a developing country (a country that is developing) (Present Participle)
  a writing desk(a desk for writing) (Gerund)

 分词还可和其它词构成复合词作前置定语,如:
  an epoch-making event (划时代的事件)
  ever-lasting peace (持久的和平)
  half-finished products (半成品)
  a newly-married couple (一对新婚夫妇)

2. 作名词后位修饰语:分词短语作定语都要放在所修饰的名词后面,相当于一个定语从句,如:
 The problem (which is) bothering us is the lack of money.
 These are goods (which were) imported from Japan.
