英语语法入门：名词修饰语
We often use two nouns together to show that one thing is a part of something else:我们经常用两个名词表示某物的其他部分：the village church; the car door; the kitchen window; the chair leg;
my coat pocket; London residents
We can use noun modifiers to show what something is made of:我们可以用名词修饰语表示某物的组成部分：
a gold watch; a leather purse; a metal box
We often use noun modifiers with nouns ending in -er and -ing:我们经常用名词修饰语与以-er或-ing结尾的名词连用：
an office worker; a jewellery maker; a potato peeler; a shopping list; a swimming lesson; a walking holiday.
We use measurements, age or value as noun modifiers:我们用尺寸、年龄或者价格作为名词修饰语：
a thirty kilogram suitcase; a two minute rest; a five thousand euro platinum watch; a fifty kilometre journey;
We often put two nouns together and readers/listeners have work out what they mean. So:我们经常将两个名词放在一起，这样说话者或听者能明白他们的意义。所以：
an ice bucket = a bucket to keep ice in
an ice cube = a cube made of ice
an ice breaker = a ship which breaks ice
the ice age = the time when much of the Earth was covered in ice.
Sometimes we find more than two nouns together:有时候我们能找到两个以上的名词用在一起：
London office workers; grammar practice exercises
Position of noun modifiers名词修饰语的位置
Noun modifiers come after adjectives:名词修饰词放在形容词后：
The old newspaper seller
A tiring fifty kilometre journey
