问题: 请英语高手帮助解答

新概念英语2册第89课,这样一句话:
We had to queue for hours to get in and there must have been several hundred people present just before the show began.其中present是什么用法,怎么解释?请精析。

解答:

一、present这里是形容词,意思是:在场的,出席的,到场的,作several hundred peopel的后置定语。注意某些形容词如:present(出席的;在场的), absent(缺席的)等表示特定含义时作定语时要后置。该词作到场的、出席的这一意思时,且作定语时,就要后置,但作当前的、现任的等意思是常不后置。请看例子进行比较如下如:
The people present are students. 在场的人都是学生。
The present situation concerns all the students present.
目前状况关系到所有在场的学生。
at the present time
在目前; 现在
the present price
现价
the present participle
现在分词
The present leader; present trends.
现任领导,目前的潮流

二、get是“让、使、使得,使变得”的意思
get sb或sth+过去分词或形容词,过去分词或形容词作sb或sth的补语,意思是使得某物或某人……(使得某人或某物处于某种状态)
posted就是过去分词,post委派,派走,这里的意思是打发走,posted就是被打发走。I must definitely get that fellow posted的意思是我一定得让那家伙滚蛋。又如:
got the children tired and cross; got the shirt clean.
把孩子们弄得疲惫而且恼怒;把衬衫洗干净
get sb或sth后面还可以带现在分词、动词不定工、副词、介词结构
等。如:
get lunch for a crowd.
为众人准备午饭
get the car through traffic.
让汽车脱离交通阻塞
Get me out of here!
放我出去
got the guide to give us the complete tour.
让导游带我们做一次完整的旅行
让某人做某事
send sb doing sth 让某人做某事
