英语语法概念： Participle
A participle (ptcp) is a form of a verb that is used in a sentence to modify a noun, noun phrase, verb, or verb phrase, and plays a role similar to an adjective or adverb. It is one of the types of nonfinite verb forms. Its name comes from the Latin participium, a calque of Greek “partaking” or “sharing”; it is so named because the Ancient Greek and Latin participles “share” some of the categories of the adjective or noun (gender, number, case) and some of those of the verb (tense and voice).

修辞概念：litotes
In rhetoric, litotes (also known classically as antenantiosis or moderatour) is a figure of speech and form of verbal irony in which understatement is used to emphasize a point by stating a negative to further affirm a positive, often incorporating double negatives for effect. For example, “He’s not bad looking” could be used to express that someone is especially gorgeous. However, the degree of emphasis depends on context. For instance, the commonly used phrase “not bad” can indicate that something is excellent, or just average. Along the same lines, litotes can be used as a euphemism to diminish the harshness of an observation; “He isn’t the cleanest person I know” could be used as a means of indicating that someone is a messy person.
