Life in the future(Period 5 Grammar)
1)分詞作狀語分詞在句子中作狀語, 可以表示時(shí)間、條件、原因、結(jié)果、讓步、伴隨等。分詞作狀語時(shí), 它的邏輯主語與句子的主語一致。作狀語的分詞相當(dāng)于一個(gè)狀語從句。例如:
hearing the news, they all jumped with joy.
using what you know of word stems and word formations, you can make a guess at the meaning of a new word.
the students went out of the classroom, laughing and talking.
accompanied by his friend, he went to the railway station.
given better attention, the plants could grow better.
he looked tired and depressed, visibly disturbed by the news of his mother’s illness.
分詞在句子中作狀語, 使用何種分詞, 要取決于分詞與句子主語的關(guān)系: 主謂關(guān)系用現(xiàn)在分詞, 動(dòng)賓或被動(dòng)關(guān)系用過去分詞。例如:
1.__________the earth to be flat, many feared that columbus would fall off the edge.(cet-4 1996, 6)
a.having believed
b.believing
c.believed
d.being believed
本句意思為: 相信地球是平的, 許多人擔(dān)心哥倫布會(huì)從邊上掉下去。許多人與相信之間是主謂關(guān)系, 及分詞與主語之間為主謂關(guān)系。因此, 應(yīng)用現(xiàn)在分詞, 答案為b。
2.no matter how frequently __________, the works of beethoven always attract large audiences.(cet-4 1995, 6)
a.performing
b.performed
c.to be performed
d.being performed
本句中貝多芬的作品被反復(fù)表演, 可見分詞與句子的主語之間是被動(dòng)關(guān)系, 應(yīng)該用過去分詞, 故答案為b。
3.__________as it was at such a time, his work attracted much attention.(cet-4 1996, 1)
a.being published
b.published
c.publishing
d.to be published
本句中as引導(dǎo)的是讓步狀語從句, 意思為: 他的作品盡管在被這樣的時(shí)候出版, 還是引起了關(guān)注, 可見分詞與句子的主語之間是被動(dòng)關(guān)系, 應(yīng)該用過去分詞, 故答案為b。
2)“while ( when, once, until, if, though等連詞)+分詞”結(jié)構(gòu)現(xiàn)在分詞或過去分詞作狀語時(shí), 有時(shí)可以在分詞前加while, when, once, although, until, if等連詞。例如:
when leaving the airport, she waved again and again to us.
while waiting for the train, i had a long talk with my sister about her work.
once recovered, he threw himself into his work and made every effort to do it well.
although working very hard, he failed to pass the final exam.
3)分詞作定語分詞作定語時(shí), 單個(gè)的分詞通常放在被修飾的名詞之前, 分詞短語一般置于所修飾的中心詞后面,F(xiàn)在分詞修飾的是發(fā)出該動(dòng)作的名詞(即與名詞有主謂關(guān)系), 過去分詞修飾承受該動(dòng)作的名詞(即與名詞是動(dòng)賓關(guān)系)。例如:
1.we will go on with our experiment as soon as we get the added fund.
2.this is really an exhausting day to all of us!
3.we can see the part of the moon lighted by sunlight.
4.after a night spent in excitement and sleeplessness, i forced myself to take a long walk along the beach the next day.
