非谓语动词讲解及练习:独立主格结构 ( Absolute structure)

发布时间:2016-4-20 编辑:互联网 手机版

1.分词短语作状语时,它的逻辑主语应该是句子的主语。

Eg.) Examining the patient, the doctor wrote down something on paper.

Hit by the arrow, he fell from the horse.

应避免写分词逻辑主语和句子主语不一致的句子。如:

Walking along the road, an accident happened. (×)

Listening to the radio, there was a knock at the door. (×)

Walking along the road, I saw an accident. (√)

Listening to the radio, I heard a knock at the door. (√)

2.但独立主格结构的逻辑主语与句子的主语不是同一个人或事。

独立主格结构--名词普通格或代词主格+其它成分(形,副,介短,分词和不定式)(它们之间存在着逻辑上的主谓关系)

独立主格在句子中作状语,可以表示时间、原因、条件和方式、伴随。主要用于书面语,表示描述.

eg.) 1.今天是星期天,你不必去上学。

A) 用原因从句表达:

Because it is Sunday, you needn't go to school.

B) 用分词独立结构表达:

It being Sunday, you needn't go to school.

但不能写成:Being Sunday, you needn't go to school.

(因分词的逻辑主语不是句子的主语,所以句子错误。)

2.官员们都到齐了,宣布开会。

A) 用分词独立结构表达:

All the officials having arrived, the meeting was declared open.

B) 用时间状语从句表达:

After (when) all the officials had arrived, the meeting was declared open.

3. 天气允许的话,我们去颐和园。

A) 用分词独立结构表达:

Weather permitting ,we'll go to the Summer Palace.

B) 用条件状语从句表达:

If weather permits , we'll go to the Summer Palace.

4.所有的工作都完成了,你们可以休息了。

All the work done, you can have a rest.

=All the work is done and you can have a rest.

5.他看着这情景,张大着嘴。

He watched the scene, his mouth ( being ) wide open.

6. 会议结束后,他们都回家了。

The meeting (being) over, they all went home. (逻辑谓语是adj./adv 时,前面省略being)

有时,独立主格结构可以由with引出:

eg.) The child trembled, with hands red with cold.

The park is beautiful with all the trees putting on a tender green. 树叶都绿了,使得公园很漂亮。

The road is beautiful, with trees and flowers growing well here and there.

有时, 这种结构中的冠词或物主代词可省去,称为泛指结构,反之,称为特指结构.

Eg.)He came out, umbrella in hand.

=He came out, with an umbrella in his hand.

The guards stood at attention, guns on shoulders.

= The guards stood at attention, with guns on their shoulders.

3.分词固定短语:(有时表示说话人态度的分词结构已成为固定短语,不遵循其逻辑主语和句子主语一致的原则)。

eg.)1.Judging from her accent, she must be an American.

2.Genarally speaking, the living costs are relatively higher in cities.

3.Talking of the world resources , they are very limited.

4.No wonder he was taken ill, considering that he had been overworking for years.

5.Taking as a whole, the experiment was a success.
