短语或词组(phrases)是英语句子结构中重要的成分,不可忽视。
英语短语是由至少两个字合组而成为一个有意义的单位。
短语通常没有主语,也没有谓语动词,但是每个短语都有一定的结构和语义,在句子中形成一个重要的环节。
论功能,英语短语可分为名词短语(noun phrase)、形容词短语(adjective phrase)和副词短语(adverb phrase)三种。
名词短语,主要有三种形式,即:㈠名词组;㈡动名词组;㈢不定式动词组。
名词短语和名词功能一样,可在句子中充当主语,如例①;宾语,如例②;补足语,如例③:
① The state of Johore lies in the southern part of Malaysia.
② I enjoy teaching English.
③ Who is to accompany you to the airport?
①是名词组;②是动名词组;③是不定式动词组。
形容词短语也有三种,即:㈠介词组,如例④-⑥;㈡现在分词组;如例⑦-⑧;过去分词组,如例⑨-⑩:
④ The boy on my right is the monitor.
⑤ Bankers are people of great wealth.
⑥ I published books on language learning.
⑦ Hearing the scream, the small girl cried.
⑧ Have you seen the thief running for his life?
⑨ Taken aback, the boy burst into tears.
⑩ The rat, chased by a cat, ran into a ditch.
由介词组成的形容词短语紧跟在被修饰的名词之后。由现在分词或过去分词组成者,则可以在名词之前,如例⑦和⑨或名词后头,如例⑧和⑩。
副词短语主要由介词协助组成,作用和一般副词一样,修饰动词,但位置灵活,可以在句前,也可以在动词之后。例如:
11 The naughty boy was asked to stand in front of the classroom.
12 Dont run across the road. It is dangerous to do so.
13 In 1989, I stayed a few months in the University of London as a visiting scholar.
在这些短语中,由介词引荐者既有形容词的功能(见例④-⑥),又可负起副词的使命。这样一来,我们应如何判辨两者的差别呢?方法简单,就是从短语在句中的功能着手:修饰名词的是形容词性的、修饰动词的是副词性的,如:
14a The students in this class are very active.
b If you like, you may study in this class.
15a Two boys at the back of the class are talking.
b An unwell student has fallen asleep at the back of the class.
In this class和at the back of the class在14a和15 a里修饰名词students和boys,因此属形容词性短语。反之,在14b和15b中,则分别修饰动词may study和has fallen asleep,因此是副词性短语。
