独立主格结构
非谓语动词作状语时,它的逻辑主语应该是句子的主语。但有时非谓语动词带有自己的主语,从而在结构上与主语不发生关系,我们称之为独立主格结构(Absolute Construction)。其实,所谓“独立主格结构”也并非真正独立,它还是一种从属的结构。一、 非谓语动词独立主格结构
在独立主格结构中,非谓语动词和它前面的名词或代词存在着逻辑上的主谓关系。 Such an able man to help you,you will surely succeed sooner or later. 有这么能干的人来帮你, 你迟早一定会成功的。(such an able man和 to help you 之间存在着主谓关系) = Since such an able man will help you, you will surely succeed sooner or later. He seating himself at the desk, his mother began to tell him a story. 他在书桌旁坐好后,他母亲开始给他讲故事。(seating himself at the desk拥有了自己的逻辑主语he,注意是“主格”) = When he seated himself at the desk, his mother began to tell him a story. The key to the bike lost, he had to walk to school. 由于丢了自行车钥匙,他只好步行去学校。(lost 的逻辑主语是the key,lost 也可以用完成式having been lost) = Because the key to the bike had been lost, he had to walk to school.A. 不定式“独立主格结构”
在“逻辑主语+动词不定式”结构中,动词不定式和它前面的名词或代词存在着逻辑上的主谓关系。这种结构也可用一个从句或并列分句来表达。
1.动词不定式用主动的形式 在独立主格结构中,动词不定式和它前面的名词或代词存在着逻辑上的主谓关系。 His mother to come tonight,he is busy preparing the dinner. 他母亲今晚要来,他正在忙着准备饭菜。(= As his mother is to come tonight, he is busy preparing the dinner.) ——will you go to the comcert tonight 你今晚去听音乐会吗? ——sorry.So many exerise-books to check,I rially can't afford any time. 对不起,有这多的作业要批,我真的抽不出时间。 (=Because I shall check so many exercise-books tonight,I really can't afford any time.) The four of us agreed on a division of labour,each to translate a quarter of the book. 我们四人同意分工干,每人翻译全书的四分之一。 (=The four of us agreed on a division of labour and each is to translate a quarter of the book.) Many trees,flowers,and grass to be planted,our newly-built school will look even more beautiful. 种上许多的树,花和草后,我们新建的学校将看上去更美。(=If many trees,flowers,and grass are planted,our newly-built school will look even more beautiful.)
B.-ing形式“独立主格结构”
动词的-ing形式作状语时,其逻辑主语一般应与句子的主语保持一致。 Being ill, he went home. 由于生病,他回家了。(= As he was very ill, he went home.) Seating himself at the desk, he began to read a magazine. 在课桌旁坐好后,他开始看杂志。(= When he had seated himself at the desk, he began to read a magazine.) 1. 表示时间的-ing形式作“独立主格结构” Everyone being ready, the teacher began his class. 每个人都准备好后,老师开始上课。(相当于一个时间状语从句When everyone was ready) The chairman began the meeting , everyone being seated. 每个人坐好后,主席开始开会。(相当于一个时间状语从句after everyone was seated) 2. 表示原因的-ing形式作“独立主格结构” The boy leading the way, we had no trouble finding the strange cave. 由那个男孩带路,我们没有困难就找到了那奇怪的洞。(相当于一个原因状语从句Because the boy led the way) Many eyes watching him, he felt a bit nervous. 许多眼睛看着他,他感到有点儿紧张。(相当于一个原因状语从句As many eyes were watching him) 必背: 含有being的独立主格结构。 It being National Day today,the streets are very crowded. 今天是国庆节,街上很拥挤。 = As it is National Day today, the streets are very crowded. There being no further business to discuss, we all went home. 没有别的事可讨论,我们都回家了。 = As there was no further business to discuss, we all went home. 3. 表示条件的-ing形式作“独立主格结构” Time permitting, we will have a picnic next week. 时间允许的话,我们下星期将进行一次野炊。(相当于一个条件状语从句If time permits) My health allowing, I will work far into the night. 我的健康许可的话,我愿工作到深夜。(相当于一个条件状语从句If my health allows) 4. 表示方式的-ing形式作“独立主格结构” The students are walking in the school happily, each wearing a card in front of his chest. 学生们快乐地在学校里走着,每个人胸前都带着一张卡。(相当于一个并列分句and each wears a card in front of his chest) The boy lay on the grass, his eyes looking at the sky. 男孩躺在草地上,眼睛看着天空。(相当于一个并列分句and his eyes were looking at the sky)C.-ed形式“独立主格结构” 与逻辑主语+动词的-ing形式一样,如果-ed形式的逻辑主语和句子的主语不一致的话,就需要用-ed形式的独立主格结构。 The book written in simple English, English beginners were able to read it. 该书是用简单英语写的,英语初学者也能看懂。 = As the book was written in simple English,English beginners were able to read it. The workers worked still harder, their living conditions greatly improved. 由于工人们的生活条件大大提高,他们工作得更起劲了。 = As their living conditions were greatly improved, the workers worked still harder. He was listening attentively in class, his eyes fixed on the blackboard. 他上课专心听讲,眼睛紧盯着黑板。 = He was listening attentively in class, and his eyes were fixed on the blackboard. The task completed,he had two months' leave. 任务完成以后,他休了两个月的假。(=When the task had been completed,he had two months' leave.) 比较: 动词不定式表示动作没有发生或即将发生,动词-ed形式表示动作已经结束,动词-ing形式往往表示动作正在进行。 The manager looks worried,many things to settle. 经理看上去很着急, 有这么多的事情要处理。(事情还没有处理,而且是由经理本人来处理,用不定式to settle) The manager looks relaxed, many things settled. 许多事情已经处理好了, 经理看上去很轻松。(事情已经处理好了,用动词-ed形式settled表示动作已经结束) The food being cooked, the boy was watching TV. 小孩一边做饭,一边看电视。(两个动作同时进行) The food cooked, the boy went to bed. 饭做好了,小孩去睡了。(两个动作有先后,饭已做好,小孩才去睡觉的)二、 动词独立主格结构
“逻辑主语+being+其他”是独立主格结构中的“逻辑主语+动词-ing形式”的一种形式。在这种结构中,being往往可以被省去,这种省去being的结构,称之为无动词“独立主格结构”。
A.逻辑主语+名词 Ten students entered for the competition, the youngest a boy of 12. 十个学生报名参加了这次竞赛,年纪最小的是个12岁的男孩。(the youngest和a boy of 12之间省去了being) 注意: 独立主格结构中的being在下列两种情况下一般不能省略,一是在“There being + 名词”结构中,二是在逻辑主语是代词的情况下。 There being no bus, we had to walk home. 由于没有公共汽车,我们只好走回家。 It being Sunday, all the offices are closed. 因为是星期日,所有办公室都关门。 B.逻辑主语+形容词 He turned to me, his eyes sleepy. 他睡眼惺忪地转向我。(his eyes和sleepy之间省去了being) = He turned to me, and his eyes were sleepy. He stood there, his mouth wide open. 他站在那里,嘴张得大大的。(his mouth和wide open之间省去了being) = He stood there, and his mouth was wide open.
C.逻辑主语+副词 School over, we all went home. 放学了,我们都回家了。(school和over之间省去了being) = School was over, and we all went home. He sat at his desk, his shoes off. 他坐在课桌旁,没穿鞋子。(his shoes和off之间省去了being) = He sat at his desk and his shoes were off. D.逻辑主语+介词短语 He is standing in front of the blackboard, his back towards us. 他站在黑板面前,背对着我们。 = He was standing in front of the blackboard, and his back was towards us. The new teacher came in, a smile on her face. 新老师面带微笑走了进来。 = The new teacher came in and she had a smile on her face. The teacher came into the classroom,a rule in his hand. 老师走进教室,手里拿着一把直尺。 = The teacher came in and a ruler was in his hand. 提示: 在“逻辑主语+介词短语”构成的独立主格结构里,如果名词用单数,可以不用冠词,同时介词短语里的限定词也可省略。 The music teacher stood at the door, violin in hand. 音乐老师站在门口,手里拿着一把小提琴。(= The music teacher stood at the door, a violin in his hand.)
