作為一個重要的語法項目,頻頻出現在近幾年的四級考題中。由于中學教材已不把它作為重點,大學教材對它也缺乏系統的闡述,不少考生因此而難以在與之有關的試題上得分,更談不上在語言實踐中加以應用。筆者試圖對該結構進行較為全面的分析,以期對考生有所幫助。
(一): 獨立主格結構的構成:
名詞(代詞)+現在分詞、過去分詞;
名詞(代詞)+形容詞;
名詞(代詞)+副詞;
名詞(代詞)+不定式;
名詞(代詞) +介詞短語構成!
(二) 獨立主格結構的特點:
1)獨立主格結構的邏輯主語與句子的主語不同,它獨立存在。
2)名詞或代詞與后面的分詞,形容詞,副詞,不定 式,介詞等是主謂關系。
3)獨立主格結構一般有逗號與主句分開。
舉例:
The test finished, we began our holiday.
= When the test was finished, we began our holiday.
考試結束了,我們開始放假。
The president assassinated, the whole country was in deep sorrow.
= After the president was assassinated, the whole country was in deep sorrow.
總統被謀殺了,舉國上下沉浸在悲哀之中。
Weather permitting, we are going to visit you tomorrow.
如果天氣允許,我們明天去看你。
This done, we went home.
工作完成后,我們才回家。
The meeting gone over, everyone tired to go home earlier.
會議結束后,每個人都想早點回家。
He came into the room, his ears red with cold.
他回到了房子里,耳朵凍壞了。
He came out of the library, a large book under his arm.
他夾著本厚書,走出了圖書館
With的復合結構作獨立主格
表伴隨時,既可用分詞的獨立結構,也可用with的復合結構。
with +名詞(代詞)+現在分詞/過去分詞/形容詞/副詞/不定式/介詞短語
舉例: He stood there, his hand raised.
= He stood there, with his hand raise.
