英語語法獨立主格

  獨立主格結構是由名詞或代詞加上分詞或分詞短語構成的一種獨立結構,用於修飾整個句子,而不是一個詞或片語。接下來,小編給大家準備了,歡迎大家參考與借鑑。

  

  一、獨立主格結構的概念及基本構成形式

  獨立主格結構the absolute structure是由名詞或代詞加上分詞或分詞短語構成的一種獨立結構,用於修飾整個句子,而不是一個詞或片語。獨立主格結構中的名詞或代詞與其後的分詞或分詞短語構成邏輯上的主謂關係。這種結構與主句不發生句法上的聯絡,獨立主格結構的位置相當靈活,可置於主句前、主句末或主句中,常由逗號將其與主句分開。需特別注意的是,獨立主格結構與主句之間不能使用任何連線詞。例如

  1Night enshrouding the earth,nobody could make out what the dark mass was from a distance.黑夜籠罩大地,誰也看不清遠處黑壓壓的一片是什麼東西。

  2He lay at full length upon his stomach,his head resting upon his left forearm.他的脊背朝天,四肢伸展,頭枕著左臂,直挺挺地趴伏著。

  3The coward was backing,his face being deathly pale,toward another room.那個膽小鬼向另一個房間退去,臉色煞白。

  獨立主格結構多用於書面語,尤其是描述性語言中,在口語和非正式文體中,一般用從句或兩個句子來代替。例如,上述例句可變為:

  1Because night enshrouded the earth, nobody could make out what the dark mass was from a distance.

  2He lay at full length upon his stomach.His head rested upon his left forearm.

  3The coward was backing toward another room.His face was deathly pale.

  二、獨立主格結構的特殊構成形式

  獨立主格結構除上述基本構成形式,即名詞/代詞+分詞短語外,還有如下特殊構成形式。

  1.名詞+介詞短語

  1The mayor of Hiroshima strode at a leisure pace toward the puzzled journalist,a bunch of flowers in his hands.廣島市市長雙手捧著一束鮮花,邁著方步走向那個迷惑不解的記者。

  2Every afternoon a very old woman hobbled past the ramshackle house,a vast load of firewood on her back.每天下午,一個揹著一大背柴禾的老婦人都會從那間東倒西歪的房屋前蹣跚著走過。

  2.名詞+形容詞短語

  1The Trojans asleep,the Greek soldiers crept out of the hollow wooden horse.特洛伊人睡著了,於是希臘士兵從中空的木馬裡悄悄爬了出來。

  2The wretched boy,who has recently been dragged from the forest to scrub floors in the barracks,is now sweeping1 away the snow,his hands numb2 with cold.那個可憐的小男孩最近剛剛從森林中被抓進兵營裡打掃地板,現在他正在掃雪,手都凍麻了。

  3.名詞+副詞

  1This little excitement over,nothing was to be done but to return to a steadfast3 gaze at my mute companion.一陣小小的興奮過後,除了再去死死地盯著我的啞伴外,別無它事可幹了。

  2This intermezzo over,he found himself surrounded by several stunning4,

  porcelain-faced Japanese women in kimonos.這曲子過後,他發現自己身處幾位穿著和服並且有著嬌好面容的日本女人的包圍之中。

  此外,with常常用在獨立主格結構前,構成介詞短語作狀語。這種用法中的with不表達什麼意義,因而常可省略。請看例句:

  1With a revolver in his right hand, Johnny hurled5 his muscular body against the door and smashed it down with a crash.約翰尼右手拿著左輪手槍,健壯的身體猛撲在門上,轟隆一聲把門撞開了。

  2The traffic inched along,with horns honking6.汽車緩慢地向前挪著,喇叭聲不斷響著。

  三、獨立主格結構的用法

  獨立主格結構在句中一般作狀語,表示時間、條件、原因、伴隨狀況等。

  1.作時間狀語

  1My shoes removed,I entered a low-ceilinged room,treading cautiously on the soft tatami matting.=After my shoes were removed, I entered a low-ceilinged room,treading cautiously on the soft tatami matting.我脫掉鞋子後,走進一間屋頂很低的房間,小心翼翼地踩在柔軟的塌塌米墊子上。

  2The governor pondering the matter, more strikers gathered across his path.=While the governor was pondering the matter,more strikers gathered across his path.總督思考這個問題時,更多的罷工工人聚集在他要通過的路上。

  2.作條件狀語

  2Such being the case,you have no grounds for dismissing him.=If such is the case,you have no grounds for dismissing him.如果情況如此的話,你沒有理由解聘他。

  分詞、獨立主格和“with + 複合賓語”作狀語的區別

  分詞結構、獨立主格結構、with + 複合賓語結構在句中均可作狀語,其區別是這樣的:

  一、分詞在句中作狀語時句子的主語是分詞的邏輯主語,即主句主語是分詞的動作執行者用現在分詞或動作承受者用過去分詞或現在分詞被動式。這種情況下的分詞短語可以改為相應的狀語從句或並列謂語。

  分詞短語在句中常作以下狀語:

  1、原因狀語

  1._______late, we had to walk home. A.Being B.As we were C.We being D.A and B

  2.______ busy, they had no time to play. A.As they were B.Being C.Because they were D.all the above

  A.carrying B.he was carrying C.and he was carrying D.all the above

  2.Father came back, _______ by a monkey.

  A.and he was followed B.followed C.and was followed D.all the above

  二、獨立主格結構和with + 複合賓語結構在句子中作狀語時,這種結構內部的分詞或介詞短語的邏輯主語不是整句的主語,即主句主語與分詞的邏輯主語不一致。如:

  1.______, we’ll go fishing in the country.

  A.Permitting weather B.Weather permitted C.Weather permitting D.Permitting

  2._________, he finished playing the game of chess.

  A.His eyes closing B.With his eyes closed C.Closing his eyes D.Closed his eyes

  3._________, I couldn’t get the book I wanted.

  A.Closed B.Library closed C.Closing library D.With library closing

  三、使用分詞短語、獨立主格結構、with + 複合賓語結構分別在句子中作狀語時要注意:它們與主句之間不應有從屬連詞如when, if, as soon as, as, while等或並列連詞如and, but, or, so等。例如:

  1.____________ the teacher told the class to go through the text

  A.Checking the answers B.Checking the answers and C.When checking the answers and D.all the above

  A.It being B.Being C.It was D.all the above

  3.As_______a little sick, he remained at the clinic.

  A.feeling B.he felt C.he felling D.all the above

  四、在使用獨立主格結構、with +複合賓語結構、分詞結構作句子的狀語時,一定要看句子主語同這些結構的邏輯關係。

  1、當句子主語與該狀語內部動詞之間有邏輯上的主謂或動賓關係時,該狀語可用分詞結構或從句表示。

  1.______ in thought, he almost ran into the car in front of him.

  A.Lost B.As he was lost C.He lost D.A and B

  2._______for the bus at the stop, he suddenly caught sight of a thief.

  A.Waiting B.When he was waiting C.As he was waiting D.all the above

  2、若句子主語與狀語內動詞之間不存在邏輯上的主謂或動賓關係且狀語內有自已的邏輯主語。則該狀語不能用分詞結構,只能用獨立主格結構、with +複合賓語結構或從句。如:

  1.The soldier fell asleep ___________.

  A.with the candle burning B.burning the candle C.when he was burning the candle D.when burning the candle

  2.__________, the Tiananmen Square looks more beautiful.
