浅议 hang 作“悬挂”解的用法——兼对一道高考题的商榷09 高考单词拼写第 68 题 Many of his finest pictures are ______(悬挂)in the national museum.提供答案为 hung那么 hanging 在这里可不可接受呢?下面就从该词作“悬挂”解的用法对这一问题做一探讨Hang 一词在英语中既可用作及物动词，也可用作不及物动词作“悬挂”解时主要用法如下：1.悬挂，吊用做及物动词也可用 hang up 《朗文当代英语词典》 （外语教学与研究出版社 ISBN7-5600-4329-1 以下简称《朗文》 ）对该词解释为 to put something in a position so that the top part is fixed or supported, and the bottom part is free to move and does not touch the ground.例如：1）Philips hung his coat on a hook behind the door.2) Hang your hat up.(《远东大辞典》 梁实秋主编 远东图书公司印行1977 以下简称《远东》)2.悬挂，挂。
用作不及物动词 《朗文》对此义的解释为：to be in position where the top part is fixed or supported and the bottom part is free to move and does not touch the ground.例如:3) An old-fashioned gas lamp hung from the ceiling.4) The shirt hung down almost to his ankles.5) Her hair was hanging down. 《远东》3.挂（画，图片等）于墙上（以便装饰或展出） 请看《朗文》的释义：to fix a picture, photograph etc to a wall. 例如：6）I want to hang the picture on the wall, by the front door.7) The gallery hung his paintings in a small corner.《远东》Paul Procter 主编的 LONGMAN DICTIONARY OF CONTEMPORARY ENGLISH 1978 对此义的解释是：to show (a set of paintings) publicly.并指出通常用被动语态。
举例如下：8）His pictures were hung in an important Gallery4.（画，图片等）挂于墙上 《朗文》指出：If a picture, photograph etc is hanging somewhere, it is fixed to a wall.例如：9) There was a large family photograph hanging on the wall.10) His works hang in most major museums. 《远东》11) The picture was hanging on the wall. 《远东》12）His portrait (was) hung above the fireplace《牛津高阶英汉双解词典》 （商务印书馆 牛津大学出版社 第 6 版）5. 用于 be hung with something 挂有某物（以点缀之） 例如;13）The entrance hall was hung with rich tapestries.14) The windows were hung with curtains.综上所述，笔者认为对于上述高考题来说，hanging 也是可接受答案。
原因有二:其一，hang 作为“挂于墙上，展出” 讲时，既可用做及物动词，也可用做不及物动词对于上述题而言，若谓语用 hang 或 are hung 则指 many of his finest pictures 被长期挂于 the national museum 的墙上供公众展览,若用 are hanging 则可表示 many of his finest pictures 现在正在 the national museum 展出其二，在没有上下文的情况下，也可用 are hanging 来表示 many of his finest pictures 现在正悬挂于 the national museum（的展厅里） 作者姓名： 郭彦荣工作单位： 定西市英才高级中学通信地址： 甘肃省定西市英才高级中学邮政编码： 743000联系： 0932-3690261 13369326154。
