名词前多个形容词的排列顺序
英语中多个形容词作前置定语，其词序不同于汉语。总规则如下：
1、限的形容词同时修饰一个中心词时，其间可用连词 and 或 but 连接，或用逗号分开。如： a yellow, black sports car
2. 如要强调某一种类的形容词时，可将所强调的形容词后移，同时用逗号 分开。如： a tall, dark, handsome cowboy
3、 次序大致，但不绝对。如口： Those three beautiful large square old brown
wood table, a heavy black Chinese steel umbrella, the man's first tow
interesting little red French oil paintings.
4. 实际上很少出现按上述一至九条规则组合全的名词性词组， 因为太累赘。 但“无规矩不成方圆” ，规则还是规则，规则必须掌握。
下面这首口诀可能便于记忆： 限定描绘大长高；形状年龄和新老；颜色国籍跟材料；作用类别往后靠。
