分词（一）
一、普通分词的功能 1、定语 一般规律： “单分”在前；“分短”在后 The applied(外加的) voltage(电压) is 220 V. The current(电流) consists of(由…组成) moving charges(电荷). This figure(图) shows(显示) a photograph(照片) of a freely(自由地) falling(下落的) body(物体). Copper(铜) is a widely(广泛地) used metal(金属).
Students using this book have completed(完成) a course(课程) in Mechanics(力学).

The system accuracy(精度) is determined(决定) by the time base(时基) stability(稳定度) of the counter(计数器) being used.
