獨立主格結(jié)構(gòu)
獨立主格結(jié)構(gòu)指帶主語的動詞分詞、介詞、或副詞詞組。 何謂獨立主格結(jié)構(gòu)?
它是指與主語之間無任何語法關(guān)系的名詞或代詞加上一個分詞的結(jié)構(gòu)。它不修飾單個的詞,而修飾整個句子。獨立主格結(jié)構(gòu)可位于句子的任何部位。它構(gòu)成一個單獨實體,并具有如下兩種功能:(1) 解釋原因或情景 (2) 提供主句中重點部分的相關(guān)細(xì)節(jié)。
例 Freud distinguished three kinds of anxiety, each arising from a different source of perceived danger.
"each" 是獨立主格結(jié)構(gòu),"arising from"是動詞短語。注意這個獨立主格結(jié)構(gòu)是一個"干巴巴"的句子。通過改變動詞形式,它的面貌可煥然一新:Each arises from a different source of perceived danger.
