资料简介
1 1. 被动语态的各种时态 被动语态(The Passive Voice)是动词的一种形式,表示主语是谓语动词的承受者。被动 语态便于论述客观事实,故常用于科技文章、新闻报道、书刊介绍以及景物描写。被动语态没有将来 进行时、过去将来进行时和完成进行时形式。 (1) 一般现在时的被动语态 I am not so easily deceived. 我不会轻易上当受骗的。 Computers are widely used in the world. 计算机在世界范围内得到广泛应用。 (2) 一般过去时的被动语态 The car was seriously damaged. 汽车受到严重损坏。 Printing was introduced into Europe from China. 印刷术是由中国传入欧洲的。 (3) 现在进行时的被动语态 The question is being discussed at the meeting. 这个问题现在正在会上讨论。 The children are being taken care of by their aunt. 孩子们现在正由其姑妈照看。 (4) 过去进行时的被动语态 When I called, tea was being served. 当我来访时,正值上茶之际。 When they arrived, the experiments were being made. 他们到达时,实验正在进行。 高考实用英语语法讲解 一般现在时 am/is/are made 现在进行时 am / is /are being made 现在完成时 has/have been made 一般过去时 was/were made 过去进行时 was/werebeingmade 过去完成时 had been made 一般将来时 shall/will be made 将来完成时 shall/will have been made 过去将来时 should/would be made 过去将来完成时 should/would have been made 被动语态2 (5) 现在完成时的被动语态 The meeting has been put off. 会议已被推迟了。 The party has been planned since the new year. 这次聚会自新年起就已筹划了。 (6) 过去完成时的被动语态 By the end of last month,he had been robbed at least three times. 到上月底,他已被抢了至少三次。 (7) 将来完成时的被动语态 It is said that the building will have been completed before September. 据说大楼将于九月前竣工。 This class will have been taught by Mr Brown for two years by next summer. 到明年夏天,布朗先生在这两个班执教已有两年了。 2. 含有情态动词的被动语态 Water mustn't be wasted. 绝不能浪费水。Electric energy can be changed into light enery. 电能可 以转变成光能。 Cross the road very carefully. Look both ways, or you might be knocked down. 过马路时要特别小心,要往两边看,不然会被撞倒。 3. Get+过去分词构成的被动语态 Get+过去分词也可以构成被动语态,用这种结构的句子侧重于动作的结果而不是动作本身。 如: the man got hurt on his way home. 那个男人在回家的路上受伤了。 Mary is going to get married. 玛丽准备结婚了。 How did the glass get broken? 杯子怎么破了? 4. 短语动词的被动语态 (1) 动词+介词 This matter has been talked about recently. 这件事近来一直被谈论着。 Such a thing has never been heard of before. 这样的事从未被听说过。 The old man was looked after carefully. 那位老人被精心照顾着。 He has never been listened to. 人家从不听他的话。3 (2) 动词+副词 The sports meeting was put off. 运动会被推迟了。 A short play will be put on by them at the party. 一个短剧将要由他们在晚会上演出。 What he said must be thought over. 他说的话必须仔细思考。 (3) 其他短语动词 Privileges must be done away with. 特权必须被取消。 The light has just been turned off. 灯刚被关上。 Their plans are being carried out. 他们的计划正在执行中。 5. “主+动+宾+宾补”句型变为被动结构 这种句型有两个宾语,一般地说一为间接宾语,一为直接宾语。变为被动结构时,只将主动结 构中的一个宾语变为被动结构中的主语,另一宾语不变。 We call him Xiao Wang. 我们叫他小王。(主动句) He was called Xiao Wang. 他被叫做小王。(被动句) He painted the table green. 他把桌子漆成了绿色。(主动句) The table was painted green. 桌子被漆成了绿色。(被动句) 6. “主+动+that 从句”句型的被动句 有些以 that 从句作宾语的主动句可以转换成两种形式的被动句。如: People say that he is the richest man in the city. 人们说他是全市头号富翁。 →It is said that he is the richest man in the city. 据说他是全市头号富翁。 →He is said to be the richest man in the city. 据说他是全市头号富翁。 当说话人认为主动句的主语无关紧要,或者不清楚谁是谓语动作的发出者时,便常常使用上述 形式的被动句。如: It was reported that the boy had been found. 据报道,男孩已被找到。 The boy was reported to have been found. 据报道,男孩已被找到。 常用于上述被动句型的动词有:acknowledge, assume, believe, claim, consider, declare, estimate, expect, find, know, presume, report, say, think 等。4 但要注意:美国英语的结果主句,不管什么人称,皆常用would。 2. 与现在事实相反的非真实条件句 虚拟语气用在与现在事实相反条件句中时,条件从句的谓语用动词的过去式 (be 的过去式用 were),结果主句的谓语用 should(第一人称)或 would(第二、三人称)+动词原形。如: I am sorry I am very busy now. If I had time, I would certainly come to see you. 很抱歉,我很忙。如果有时间,我一定去看你了。 If it weren’t for their support, we would be in a difficult situation. 要不是有他们的支持,我们的处境会很困难。 。 与将来事实 可能相反 If I (we,you,he,they)+ 动词 过去式(be 的过去式用 were)/were to/should I(we) should.You would. He would .They would +动词原形 7. 含有被动意义的主动语态 英语中有一些表示被动意义的主动句,其谓语所表示的不是主语的动作,而是其内在的性能这种 句子的特点是:主语为无生命名词,谓语动词为一般现在时;肯定句必须带方式状语;否定句的谓语 可以带情态动词。如: She is to blame. 她应该受到责备。 The house is to rent. 这个房子要出租。 Food can keep fresh in a fridge. 食物放在冰箱里能保鲜。 The pen writes smoothly. 这支钢笔很好写。 The cloth feels soft. 这布摸上去很柔软。The cake tastes good. 这蛋糕很好吃。 虚拟语气 第一章、虚拟语气在非真实条件句中的用法 1. 非真实条件句中谓语动词的形式 条件从句 结果从句 与现在事实 相反 If I (we,you,he,they)+ 动词 过去式(be 的过去式用were) I(we) should.You would.

(泛指玩火) To play with fire will be dangerous (指一具体动作) Smoking is prohibited here .这里禁止抽烟。(抽象) It is not very good for you to smoke so much.你抽这么多烟对你身体很不好。(具体) 但在 It is not use (good), not any use ( good ) ,useless 等后一般用动名词。如 It is no use arguing with him. 同他争论是无用的。 It is no good learning English without practice. 学英语不练是不行的。 如上所示,当以it 为形式主语时,句中的表语常常为no good,no use,fun 等名词,形容 词或介词短语。 2. 动名词(短语)作表语 ⑴动名词和不定式都可以作表语,但是略有区别:表示比较抽象的一般的行为是,多用动名词; 表示某次具体的动作或具有将来时的意义时,多用不定式。如: My job is teaching English . 我的工作是教英语。 My today’s job is to teach you how t study English . 我今天的任务是教你如何学英语。 ⑵动名词作表语时不可与进行时态相混淆。进行时态说明动作由主语完成的。动名词做表语,说明 主语的性质或情况。试比较: He is collecting stamps. 他在集邮。(现在进行时) His hobby is collecting stamps. 他的爱好是集邮。(动名词) 3. 动名词(短语)作动词宾语 ⑴在某些动词后,只能用动名词(短语)而不能用不定式(短语)作宾语。常见的只能以动名词作 宾语的动词有: admit 承认 appreciate 感激 avoid 避免 consider 考虑 delay 耽误 deny 否认 endure 忍耐 enjoy 喜欢15 We’d better postpone discussing it till next week. 我们最好把这事推迟到下个星期讨论。 The girl avoided giving her any personal information. 这个女孩拒绝告诉她的任何个人情况。 ⑵动名词(短语)作短语动词的宾语。如: She could’t help thinking about the matter. 她不由自主地要想那件事。 Peter is fond of playing football 彼得喜欢踢足球。 The patient gave up smoking on medicine advice. 病人遵从医嘱,戒烟了 4. 动名词(短语)作介词宾语 He is against dancing all night. 他反对通宵跳舞。 The college is a new type of college for training cadres. 这所大学是新型的培育干部的大学。 注:下面短语中的“to”是介词,而不是不定式符号,因此后面须接名词或动名词形式。 两者的区别不是很大,动名词所表示的动作,在意义上比较一般和抽象,时间观念不强,不指某一 次动作;动名词不定式则常表示具体的动作,有将来是的意思〉如: The boy like playing football. 这些男孩喜欢踢足球。(经常性的动作) escape 逃避 excuse 原谅 fancy 想象 finish 完成 forbid 严禁 imagine 想象 mind 介意 miss 错过 in addition to 除…之外admit to 承认 devote oneself to 献身于 be equal to 能胜任 be familiar to 对…熟悉find one’s way to 设法到达 get down t 着手做 give way to 对…让步 give one’s mind to 专心于 5. 既可用动名词(短语)有可用不定式(短语)作宾语的动词 (1) 在下列动词后,作宾语的动名词通常可以和不定式换用,有些及物动词既可以跟动名词也可 以跟不定式作宾语。如: Attempt 试图 begin 开始 can’t bear 忍不住 cease 停止 continue 继续 deserve 值得 hate 不喜欢 intend 打算 learn 学习16 Would you like to play football with us this Sunday ? 这个周日愿意和我们一起踢足球吗?(一次的动作) 注:① 在以下两种情况下,begin 和start 的后面只能跟不定式。 谓语动词beigin 或start 为进行时。如: It’s beginning /starting t orain .开始下雨了。(比较:It began/started raining / to rain.) Begin 和 start 的宾语为没有进行时的静态动词。如: I began/ started to understand his point of wiew.我开始理解他的观点了。 ② 当 like 与should / would 连用表示愿望或选择时,后面只能跟不定式。如 I’d like to thank you again. 我愿意再次感谢你。 I’d like to go to the cyber café to play games. 我想去网吧玩游戏。 I’d like to come sometime. 日后我愿意来。 ③ 当 prefer 与would 连用表示选择时,后面只能跟不定式。如: Would you prefer to live in the south or in the north ? 你愿意住南方还是住在北方? ④ 虽然continue 和like 之后既可以跟动名词,有可以跟不定式,但是它们的反义词 discontinue 和dislike 的宾语却只能是动名词。如: He discontinued running in the hot weather .在闷热的天气里,他中止了跑步。 The horse dislike wearing blinkers.那匹马不喜欢带眼罩。 (2) 在 forget, remember 和 regret 之后,动名词表示先于谓语动词发生的动作,不定式 表示后与谓语动词发生的动作。如:Iremember reading the book. 我记得读过这本书。(已 做) 记得做过某事 I must remember to read the book.我必须记得去读这本书。(未作) 记得去做某事。 The old lady forgot telling us the story and told us a second time. 那个老太太忘记给我们讲过这个故事,她又讲了一遍。(此事已做过或已发生。) (忘记做过某事) I forget to lock the door this morning.今天早晨我忘记锁门了。(此事未做) (忘记要去做某事) (3) Mean 后面跟动名词时,作“表示,意味着”解,后面跟不定式时,作“打算'解。如: Missing the train means waiting for another hour. 误了这趟火车意味着再等一个小时。(意味着) I mean to come early today. 我打算今天早些来。(打算,有意要)17 (4) try 后面跟动名词,作“试试看”解,表示已完成的动作或具有名词意义的概念性动作,后 面跟不定式,作"试图"解,表示未完成的动作。如: Why not try knocking at the back door, even if nobody hears you at the front door. 即使前门没人听到,为什么不试试敲敲后门。(实验,试一试某种方法)。 He’ll try to improve his spoken English. 他设法提高他的英语口语。(努力,企图做某事) (5) going on doing sth 作“不停的做一件事”解,go on to do sth 作“接着做另外一件事” 解。如: They went on working after dark. 天黑之后,他们继续工作。(继续原来没有做完的事情) Afer finishing the letter, he went on to read a book. 写完信后,他接着读书。(继而去做另外一件事情) (6) Stop 后面的动名词为宾语,不定式为目的状语。 Though they were all tired, they wouldn’t stop working. 虽然他们都很累,但是他们也不肯停止工作。(停止正在或经常做的事) After walking a long time, he stopped to have a rest. 走了好长一段时间之后,他停下来休息。(停止,中断某件事,目的是去做另外一件事) (7) 在need, require 和want 后,主动语态的动名词表示被动意义,主动语态的不定式表示 主动意义。如: The house needs / requires / want repairing (=to be repaired) 房子需要修缮。 6. 动名词作定语 动名词作定语时不以短语的形式出现,而且总是位于所修饰的名词之前,表示它所修饰的名词的目 的,用途或场合。如: he teacher has many reading materials. 老师又很多阅读资料 A swimming pool was built on our college last year. 我们的大学去年修建了一个游泳池。 Our teacher uses a very good teching method. 我们教师的教学方法很好。 注:动名词作定语和现在分词作定语是有区别的。动名词作定语时,和它修饰的名词在逻辑上没有 主谓关系,即它不是该名词发出的动作,只是表明所修饰名词的“目的”“或用途”。现在分词作定语 时则表明所修饰的词与分词有逻辑上的主谓关系。如: a sleeping car (=a car for sleeping) 卧车(动名词作定语)18 a reading room 阅览室 drinking water 饮用水 a writing course 写作 课 the getting—up bell 起床living condition 生活条walking stick 手杖 铃 件 fishing pole 钓鱼竿 bathing cap 游泳帽 dinning hall 餐厅 第二章、动名词的结构和形式 1. 动名词的否定结构 动名词的否定结构由not 动名词组成。如: Trying without success is better than not trying at all. 实验没有成功也比不实验好。 He hated himself for not having work hard. 他悔恨自己没有用功。 I’m sorry for not having telephoned you before. 很抱歉,没有早给你打电话。 He felt sorry for not having done the work well. 他为没有把工作做好感到难过。 I fancy it has done you a lot of good not going. 我看不去对你倒好了。(not going 是动名词一般式的否定形式) There is no denying the fact that he si diligent. (no denying 也是动名词一般式的否 定) 2. 动名词复合结构 通常情况下,动名词的逻辑主语为谓语动词的主语。如果动名词动作的发出者不失谓语动的主语时, 则需要有自己的逻辑主语物主代词或名词所有格加动名词就构成了动名词的复合结构,这种结构在 句中可以作主语,宾语等。 (1) 逻辑主语是有生命的名词作主语时,必须用名词或代词所有格,作宾语时(尤其在口语中),也 可用名词普通个或人称代词宾格。如: Do you think my going there will be of any help? 你看我去会有什么帮助吗?(宾语) The student’s knowing English well helps him in learning French. 这位学生通晓英语对他学法语很有帮助。(主语) a sleeping babay (=a baby who is sleeping) 睡觉的婴儿(现在分词作定语) 常见的动名词作定语的例子还有:19 Do you mind my(me) smoking ? 你介意我抽烟吗?(宾语) They insist on Mary’s (Mary) going with them there. 他们坚持要玛丽跟他们一起去那儿。(介词宾语) (2) 逻辑主语是无生命名词是,通常只用名词普通格。如: Do you hear the rain pattering on the roof? 你听见雨点打在屋顶上了吗?

(人家)已经告诉他多少次了,他还是不知道怎么做。 6. 垂悬现在分词 现在分词作状语时,其逻辑主语应该与句子的主语一致,但有时现在分词的主语与其所在句中的主语 并不一致,这种现在分词即所谓的垂悬现在分词。垂悬现在分词容易使句意模糊,甚至造成歧义, 因而通常被认为是不合规范或错误的用法。 Searching along the deck,it had taken him some time to find a doctor. 他沿着甲板找了好久才找到一名医生。(searching 的逻辑主语是句中的 him) Walking or sleeping,this subject was always in my mind. 不论是走路或睡觉,我总是在想着这个问题。 (walking or sleeping 的逻辑主语是句中的my) 过去分词 第一章、过去分词在句子中的成分 过去分词(The Past Participle)是一种非限定动词。它通常由动词原形加-ed 构成,少数不规 则动词的过去分词为不规则形式。过去分词一般只有一种形式,但是有的不规则动词的过去分词有 两种形式。在各类应试中,过去分词都是一项重要的测试内容。 1. 过去分词(短语)作表语28 (2) 不及物动词的过去分词具有主动和完成意义。如: (3)

It is my neighbour’s. 楼旁有辆小汽车,它是我邻居的。 Mr Zhang wrote a novel. It is about the miserable life of a young woman. 张先生写了一部小说,它是关于一个年轻妇女悲惨生活的。85 ② it 有时可用来代替小孩 (child) 和婴儿 (baby) 。 如: The child smiled when it saw its mother. 小孩看到母亲就笑了。 (2).it 可用作指示代词相当于this 和 that It is a very good translation. 这是一篇很好的译文。 (3). 代表前面已提到的或将要发生的某件事情 I had a talk with our boss. It was very helpful. 我同我的上司谈了一次话,这次谈话很有帮助。(it 代表前句的内容) They were asked to complete the task in two weeks. It is not an easy job. 要求他们两周内完成任务,这可不是件容易的事。(it 代表前句的内容) (4). 指时间、距离和自然现象等,此时 it 在句中作主语 What time is it now? It’s half past eight. 几点了? 八点半。(指时间) Is it very far to the station? 到火车站很远吗?(指距离) (5).It 用作先行代词 ① it 作形式主语 代替不定式短语。如: It is necessary for us to learn something about the use of “it”. 对我们来说了解一些“it”的用法是必要的。 代替动名词短语。如: It’s no use crying over spilt milk. 牛奶泼出了,哭也没有用。(覆水难收/事已如此,后悔无用) 代替that 引导的主语从句。如: It appears that Geoffrey might change his mind. 杰弗里可能改变主意。 ② it 作形式宾语 代替不定式(短语)。如: I found it very interesting to study English. 我觉得学习英语很有趣。 代替动名词(短语)。如: I think it no use telling them. 我认为告诉他们没用。 代替that 引导的宾语从句。如:86 They want to make it clear to the public that they are doing an important and necessary job. 他们要向公众表明,他们在做一件必须做的重要工作。 2. it 用以引导强调句 (1). it 强调句的几种强调情况 要强调句子的某一部分(通常是主语、宾语、状语)时,通常用 “It is(was)+被强调部分+ that(who)+句子的其余部分”这种句子结构。强调部分指人时用 who 或 that,指其他成分时 用 that。假如原来的句子为: David bought a walkman from a store yesterday. 大卫昨天在商店买了一台随身听。 下面四个强调结构分别强调句中的主语、宾语和两个状语。 It was David who/that bought a walkman from a store yesterday. (强调主语 David) It was a walkman that David bought from a store yesterday. (强调宾语walkman) It was from a store that David bought a walkman yesterday. (强调地点状语 from a store) It was yesterday that David bought a walkman from a store. (强调时间状语 yesterday) (2). It 强调句式的判断方法 It 强调句式中被强调的成分是句中的某个成分。对句中的某个成分进行强调,就是把该成分提到 强调句式的It is/was 之后,that/who 之前。可以看出,强调位置上的成分正好是 that/who 后面 句子中所缺少的成分。因此,把一个句子中的It is/was…that/who…这一框架去掉以后, 剩余 的仍是一个完整的句子(若是强调宾语,需适当调整一下语序),我们就可以判断该句为强调句式。 如:It was a factory that we visited last Sunday. 若去掉 It was…that…这一框架, 剩余 部分稍作语序上的调整可成为We visited a factory last Sunday. 这是一个完整的句子, 所以 原句是强调句式。 再如:It is a fact that we visited a factory last week.若去掉It is…that…框架,剩余的部 分不是完整的句子,所以原句不是强调句式,是一个含有主语从句的主从复合句。 (3). It 强调句式的判断误区 ① 把具有实际意义的指示代词it 后接be…that (that 引导定语从句)...的情形误认为是强调句 式。如: —What’s on your desk? —Oh, it’s the very dictionary that you’ve been looking for. 此句对话的意思是:“你书桌上放着什么?”“正是你一直在找的那本词典”。其中 it 指代前句中的87 what,that 引导定语从句修饰dictionary,全句是一个含有定语从句的主从复合句,不是强调句 式。 ② 把充当形式主语的it 后接be…that(that 引起主语从句)...的情形误认为是强调句式。如: It is a pity that Jack should have missed the wonderful film. 强调结构 在句子当中,有时为了突出句子的某些成分以加强语气、增强感情色彩或加强对比,需要改变句子结 构,这种结构叫做强调结构(Emphatic Structure)。强调结构通常采用四种方式进行强调。 1. Do (does/did) + 动词原形表强调 这种结构用来强调谓语动词,往往只用于“一般现在时 / 过去时”的肯定陈述句或肯定结构的祈 使句。如: He does know the place well. 他的确很熟悉这个地方。 The children do hope to go to college. 孩子们真的很想上大学。 She did come yesterday. 昨天她确实来过。 Do come and visit us! 你一定来看我们! Do shut up! 你闭上嘴巴! Do be careful! 务必小心。 2. 用 what 引导的名词从句来强调主语和宾语 What hurt me most was her indifference. 最让我伤心的是她漠不关心的态度。(比较:Her indifference hurt me most.) What they value most is freedom and independence. 他们最珍惜的是自由和独立。(比较:They value freedom and independence most.) What I need is some rest. 我需要的是休息。(比较:I need some rest.)88 What they lack is experience. 他们缺少的是经验。(比较:They lack experience.) 3. 改变语序,将所强调的状语置于句首 (1) 为了加强语气或为了上下文的衔接通顺。如: On his desk I found a book about love story. 在 他的桌子上我发现了一本关于爱情故事的书。 Suddenly the rain stopped. 突然间雨停了。 Under her arm she was carrying a great album. 她的腋下挟着一本很大的相册。 (2) 在谓语动词为come, sit, lie, stand 和 walk 等不及物动词时,为了强调状语,通常将强调的状语放在句首,其语序是动词在 前,主语在后,不借用助动词do。如: In a corner of the room sat a little girl. 房间的角落里坐着一个小女孩。 Down the street marched the band. 乐队沿着街道走远了。 Here comes the devil. 说曹操,曹操到。 (3) 以否定副词如never,not only,hardly,no sooner,seldom,at no time,on no account,in no way 等开头的句子表示强调。注意此时句子为倒装要借用助动词do/does/did 或 have/has/ had 来构成。如: Not only did we lose our money, but we were also in danger of losing our lives. 我们不仅丢了钱,还险些丢了命。 Hardly had I entered the room when the telephone started to ring. 我刚刚进屋电话铃就响起来了。 标点符号的用法 1. 概述89 注: 英语标点符号除上述十种外,还有删节号(通常为...)、括号( ( )、[ ]、〈 〉、{ }等)、 斜线(/或\)、星号(*)、代字号(~)、脱字号(∧)、小记号(√)、斜十字(×)、斜体字以及字下划 线等。 2.

If I had never married.如果我从未结婚就好了。 这种结构也常用 if only 开头。如: If only I could help you! 假如我能帮助你,那该是多好啊! If only I were ten years younger!我要是能年轻十岁该多好啊! If you would only try harder!你如再努力一试就好了。(only 亦可置于 would 等助 动词之后) [注]有时if only 只表条件,不表愿望。如: If only I had known earlier,I'd have sent you a telegram.我只要知道得早一点, 就会拍电报给你了。 在 It is natural(necessary,strange,important) that...这类句型里,that 所引 导的主语从句中的谓语动词常用should 加动词原形。如: It is quite natural that he should think so.他这样想是很自然的事。 It is strange that he Should have gone away without telling us. 真奇怪,他没 有通知我们就走掉了。 It is necessary that the question should be settled at once.必须马上解决这个 问题。 It is important that we should speak politely. 我们说话要有礼貌,这是很重要 的。 It is imperative that we should practise criticism and self-criti - cism. 应 当进行批评与自我批评。 下列两种宾语从句须用虚拟语气: 1) 在动词wish 后的宾语从句(常常省去连词 that),表示不可实现的愿望。从句中的动 词如用过去式,则表示与现在事实相反(如下面第一、二例句);如用过去完成式,则表示与过 去事实相反(如下面第三、四例句)。如: I wish I were a pilot.但愿我是个飞行员。 I wish I knew how to operate the machine.我要是会操作这架机器该有多好啊! (= I'm sorry I don't know.) I wish he hadn't gone.他要是没走该多好!(= I'm sorry he has gone.) We wish you had come to our New Year's party.我们真希望你来参加我们的新年联98 1.7.3 虚拟语气用在状语从句中 1.7.4 虚拟语气用在定语从句中 1.7.5 虚拟语气用在简单句中 欢会。(= but you did not) 动词 wish 如果是过去式,后面宾语从句的动词的虚拟语气形式不变,仍用过去式或过 去完成式。如: She wished she knew how to play golf. 她但愿会打高尔夫球。 (和过去事实相反) I wished I hadn't been so forgetful. Then I shouldn't have missed the concert. 我要是不这样忘事该多好,那我就不会不去听音乐会。(和过去的过去的事实相反) [注]有时在宾语从句中可用would 或might 加动词原形,表示有可能实现的愿望。如:. I wish he,might stay with me.我希望他和我住在一起。 He wishes I would go with him.他希望我和他一起去。 I wish you would be quiet.我希望你安静一些。 2) 动词 demand(要求),suggest(建议),order (命令),insist(坚持),propose(建议) 等后面的宾语从句,用should(用于所有的人称)加动词原形来表示虚拟语气。如: I suggest that we should hold a meeting tonight.我建议今晚开个会。 The chairman proposed that we Should discuss the question.主席提议我们讨论这 个问题。 Most students insist that they should have more English classes. 多数同学坚 持要多上英语课。 [注]这种结构往往可不用 should,尤其在美国,只用动词原形(用于所有的人称)。如 上面三例只用 hold,discuss 和 have,不用 should hold,should discuss 和 should have。 又如: I suggest that we make a new expertinent.我建议进行新的试验。 I propose that the matter be put the vote at once.我提议把这个问题马上付表决。 由 as if 或as though 所引导的状浯从句表示比较或方式时,从句中的谓语动词常用虚 拟语气。动词形式用动词的过去式(be 用were)或 had + 过去分词。如: My mother locked after the orphan as if he were her own child. 我母亲照料这 个孤儿像自己孩子一样。 You speak as if you had really been there.你谈得好像你真的到过那里似的。 注意下面句中的 as if 从句用作表语。如: It looks as if it might rain,天好像要下雨似的。 [注]连词 lest 和 in case 所引导的状语从句中的谓语动词亦用虚拟语气。例见 15.33 和 15.30 It is time (that)…句型中的定语从句里的谓语动词常用虚拟浯气表示将来,动词形 式用动词的过去式:意思是"该干某件事了,时间已经有些晚了"。如: It is time we left.我们该走了。 It is time we went to bed.我们该睡觉了: It is time we summed up our results.我们该总结我们的成绩了。 下面是虚拟语气用在简单句中较常见的两种情况,皆表祝愿。如:99 2.1 种类、意义和特征 1)动词原形 1ive 用在Long live…中。如: Long live the Communist Party of China! 中国共产党万岁! Long live the people! 人民万岁! (1ive 在此也是虚拟语气的一种动词形式,不可改为 lives) 2)May 用在句子开头(多用在正式的文体中)。如: May good luck be yours.祝你顺利。 May you be happy.祝你快乐。 May you do even better! 祝你取得更大成就! 2 非限定动词 1) 非限定动词(verbal)有动词不定式、动名词和分词三种。 2) 非限定动词和限定动词的基本区别 限定动词在句子中可以单独作谓语动词,非限定动词在句中则不能单独作谓语动词。b) 限定动词的形式要与主语的人称和数一致,而非限定动词的形式则不受主语的人称和 数的限制。如: He likes to sing 它他喜欢唱歌。 They like to sing. 他们喜欢唱歌。 限定动词 like 受主语人称和数的限制,的形式与主语一致。第一句为 likes,第二句 为 like。非限定动词 sing 则不受这种限制,它的形式不随主语而改变。 The man walking in front was carrying a flag. 走在前面的人打着一面旗子。 The men walking in front were carrying flags. 走在前面的人们都打着旗子。 限定动词 be 受主语的人称和数的限制,它的形式须与主语一致。第一句为was,第二 句为were.非限定动词walking 则不受主语的限制,它的形式不随主语而改变。 3) 非限定动词的双重性 a) 非限定动词有动词的特征: (a)如果非限定动词是及物动词,须有宾语。 (b)非限定动词可以由状语来修饰。 (c)非限定动词仍有语态和时态的变化。 b) 非限定动词还有一些非动词的特征它相当于名 词、形容词等,在句子里可以作这些词类所能用作的句子成分。 非限定动词双重性举例: He promised to do it tonight.他答应今天晚上做。(非限定动词 to do 的动词性质表 现在它有宾语"和状语 tonight 它的非动词性质表现在它用作promised 的宾语。) I am sorry to have disturbed you.我打扰你了,对不起。(to have disturbed 是动 词不定式 to disturb 的完成式,说明非限定动词有时态上的变化,这也是非限定动词的动词 性质。) I saw many people spreading manure in the fields.我看见许多人在地里施肥。(非100 2.2 动词不定式 2.2.1 意义、形式和特征 限定动词 spreading 是现在分词,它有宾语manure 和状语 in the fields。) There is no time to be lost.必须抓紧时间。(to be lost 是动词不定式to lose 的 被动式,说明非限定动词有语态上的变化这也是非限定动词的动词性质。) 4) 非限定动词短语带有宾语或状语的非限定动词 词组,称为非限定动词短语。如: I have no time to finish that long novel this week.我本周没有时间读完那本长 篇小说。(不定式短语) Forgetting the past means betrayal.忘记过去就意味着背叛。(动名词短语) Members wishing to see the play are requested to notify Li Min be fore Saturday. 愿意看戏的会员请在星期六以前通知李敏。 1) 基本概念和形式动词不定式(infinitive)是一种非限定动词,由不定式符号to 加动 词原形所构成。动词不定式有动词的特征,同时也有名词、形容词和副词的特征。 2) 动词不定式的动词特征 a) 如果动词不定式是及物的,须有宾语。如: He wants to study Japanese. 他想学习日语。( 动词不定式 to study 后面有宾语 Japanese) b) 动词不定式可以被状语修饰。如: The rain continued to fall heavily.雨继续下得很大。(动词不定式 to fall 后面有 状语heavily) 动词不定式加宾语或状语构成动词不定式短语,如上二例中的 to study Japanese 和 to fall heavily。 3) 动词不定式的非动词特征 用法动词不定式具有名词、形容词和副词的特征,所以它在句子中可用作主语、表语、 宾语、定语和状语。 1)主语 To lean out of the window is dangerous.把身子伸出窗外是危险的。To talk with him is a great pleasure.和他谈话是一件非常愉快的事。To die for the people is a glorious death! 为人民而死,虽死犹荣。 动词不定式短语作主语时,往往放在谓语动词的后面,而在句首用引词"作语法上的主语。 上述两句即可改为: It is a great pleasure to talk with him. It is a glorious death to die for the people. 注意也常用"It is+形容词+动词不定式短语"这样的句型: It is necessary to make a plan for this course of study.必须订一个学习这门课 程的计划。 It is not difficult to learn a foreign if you spend time and effort on it. 小 只要你花时间下功夫,学好一门外国语并不难。 It's just impossible to see that and not weep.看见那种情景而不哭是根本不可能 的。(注意 weep 之前省去了 to,以免重复) 2)表语101 Her wish is to become an astronaut.她的愿望是成为一名宇航员。 Our plan is to finish the work in two weeks.我们的计划是在两周内完成这项工作。 His only desire was to be useful to the country.他唯一的愿望是做一个对国家有 用的人。 3)宾语有些及物动词常用动词不定式作宾语。这些动词有 want(想要),wish(想望), like(喜欢),decide(决定),help(帮助),pledge(保证),begin(开始),forget(忘记), learn(学习),ask(要求)等等。动词不定式一般不作介词的宾语。如: He wants to be a village school teacher in a mountain area.他要做个山村教师。 Do you like to watch football matches? 你喜欢看足球赛吗?

(动名词) 她的工作是洗衣服。 3) 作宾语: a)作直接宾语,用在 begin,start,stop,finish,like 等动词后面。如: please stop talking.请不要讲话。 You must practise reading English aloud.你应练习朗读英语。 b)作介词的宾语。如: My sister is fond of reading novels.我姐姐喜欢看小说。 We're tired of having the same kind of food everyday.我们对天天吃同样的饭菜 感到厌倦。 Instead of going to Zhongshan park,they went to the ZOO.他们没有去中山公园, 到动物园去了。 Mr. Bush earns his living by teaching.布什先生以教书为生。 He was punished for stealing.他因偷盗受到惩罚。 4) 作定语: My father works in a printing shop.我的父亲在一个印刷厂工作。 Our school built a swimming pool last summer.我们学校去年夏天修建了一个游泳 池。 Our teacher uses a very good teaching method.我们教师的教学方法很好。 动名词否定结构由 not 加动名词组成。如: Trying without success is better than not trying at all.试验没有成功也比不试 验好。 He Hated himself for not having worked hard.他悔恨自己没有用功。106 2.3.4 动名词的时态 物主代词或名词所有格加动名词,构成动名词复合结构。在动名词复合结构中,物主代词 或名词所有格是逻辑上的主语,动名词是逻辑上的谓语动词。这种结构在句中可用作主语、宾语等。 如: Your going there will help a lot.你到那里对事情将大有帮助。 (your going there 作主语) Please excuse my interrupting you.请原谅我打断你。(my interrupting you 作 excuse 的宾语) Do you mind my smoking?我可以抽烟吗?(my smoking 作 mind 的宾语) Aunt Liu was very happy about Wang's coming to see her.刘大娘很高兴王来看她。 (Wang's coming 作介词 about 的宾语) We are looking forward to the expert's coming to speak to us.我们盼望那位专 家来给我们作报告。(the expert's coming 作 look forward to 的宾语) [注]在口语中,这种结构中的名词往往不用所有格,而用通格,代词往往不用物主代词, 而 用宾格,如上面第二、五两句可改变如下: Please excuse me interrupting you. Aunt Liu was very happy about Wang coming to see her. 下面再举几例: His father agreed to him becoming an engine-driver.他父亲同意他做火车司机。 DO you remember me and my mother coming to see you?你还记得我和我母亲来看你 吗? Tides are caused by the moon and sun pulling water toward them.海潮是由于月 亮和太阳吸引海水而引起的。 1) 动名词的时态形式 一般式 writing 完成式 having written 2) 动名词的一般式动名词的一般式所表示的动作与谓语动词表示的动作同时发生,或在谓 语动词表示的动作之后。如: Children enjoy watching colour TV. 儿童喜欢看彩色电视。 (enjoy 与watching 同时) Would you mind opening the window and letting a little a air in?请你打开窗子, 透透气好吗? (opening 和 letting 发生在 mind 之后) 注意下面两句中动名词所表示的动作发生在谓语动词表示的动作之前。如: Do you remember cutting rice on the state farm? 你记得在国营农场割水稻的事吗? (cutting 发生在 remember 之前) I shall never forget seeing Lu Xun for the first time in 1932.我永远不会忘记 一九三二年第一次见到鲁迅的情景。(seeing 发生在 forget 之前) 3) 动名词的完成式动名词的完成式所表示的动作发生在谓语动词表示的动作之前。 I regret having been unable to write to you earlier.我很抱歉未能早点写信给你。 His leg showed no symptom of having been injured.他的腿不像受过伤。 We were overjoyed at the news of China haying launched another man-made satellite. 我们听到中国又发射了一颗人造卫星时都很高兴。 2.3.3 动名词复合结构107 2.3.6 动名词和动词不定式的比较 动名词有两种被动语态形式: 一般式 being written 完成式 having been written 例: This picture shows a child being beaten by a Japanese soldier.这张照片上一个 孩子在遭到日本兵毒打。 The meeting was put off without his having been consulted.会议延期并未和他商 量。 从结构上看,两者不同之点有:动名词前可用介词,它还可被名词(或代词)所有格修饰; 不定 式前通常不用介词,更不能被名词(或代词)所有格修饰。动名词和动词不定式在实际运用中,有 下列各点值得注意: 1) 动名词所表示的动作,在意义上比较一般和抽象,时间观念不强,不指某一次动作; 动词不定式则常表示某个具体动作。如: The students like playing football.这些学生喜欢踢足球。(经常性的爱好) Would you like to play football this afternoon?你今天下午愿意踢球吗?(指一次 的动作) 2) 动词不定式所表示的动作的逻辑主语常常是句子里的-一个名词或代词,动名词所表示 的动作的逻辑主语,可能是句子里的名词或代词,但也可能指一般人或物。如: She hates to trouble you.她不愿意麻烦你。(to trouble 的逻辑主语是she) She hates smoking.她不喜欢吸烟。(smoking 的逻辑主语不一定是 she,也可能是"别 人") 3) 有些动词,如:stop,remember,forget,后接动名词和后接动词不定式,其意义有 所不同。试比较: Stop talking.不要讲话!(talking 的宾语,指停止"讲话"这个动作) Stop to think about it for a moment.停下来一想。(to think 是目的状语,指停下 来,以便想一想) I remember seeing him。我记得见过他。(已见过,指过去的动作) You must remember to post the letter.你不要忘了寄这封信。(还没有寄,指未来的 动作) 4) 某些及物动词后面只能跟动名词作为它的直接宾语,不能跟动词不定式。其中常用的有 finish(作完,结束),avoid(避免),enjoy(享受),mind(在意,反对),insist on(坚持), object to(反对),give up(放弃),practise (实践,练习),put off(延期)等。如: We all enjoy listening go Beethoven's symphonies.我们都喜欢听贝多芬的交响乐 曲。 We should avoid making grammer mistakes in our exercises.我们应在练习中避免 犯语法错误。 The doctor says I must give up smoking.医生说我必须戒烟。 Would you mind repeating what you have just said?你重复一下你刚才说过的话好 吗? 5) 某些及物动词后只能跟动词不定式作为它的直接宾语。常用的有 want(要想), wish(希望,想要),hope(希望),agree(同意),promise(允诺),mean(打算),decide(决 2.3.5 动名词的被动语态108 2.3.7 动名词和现在分词用作定语时的区别 2.4 分词 定),expect(期望),manage(设法),pretend(假装)等。如: I hope to visit China again.我希望再访问中国。 I wish to take this opportunity to make up for the lessons I have missed.我 想趁此机会把拉下的课补上。 Teachers and students managed to set up a laboratory.师生设法修建了一个实验 室。 6) 某些及物动词后可跟动名词也可跟动词不定式作它的直接宾语。其中常用的有 begin(开始),start(开始),continue(继续),like(喜欢),hate(恨),prefer(宁愿)等。 如: When did you begin learning (to learn) typewriting?你什么时候开始学打字的? They continued working (to work) after the meal.他们饭后继续工作。 二者形式相同。但动名词有动词性质(有时态和语态变化,可有宾语和状语),没有复数, 前 面也不可用冠词。名词化的动名词(verbal noun)的用法则和一般名词完全一样:它没有动词 性质,有单复数形式,前面可用冠词。试比较: She likes reading Jane Eyre.她喜欢读《简·爱》。(动名词) The reading of The Dream of the Red Chamber took her about two weeks.她花了 差不多两周的时间读完《红楼梦》。(名词化的动名词) They started cleaning their room at six.他们六点钟开始打扫房间。(动名词) They gave the classroom a good cleaning.他们把教室很好地打扫了一下。(名词化 的动名词) reading 阅读(可用作动名词或名词化的动名词) readings 读物(只能是名词化的动名词) writing 写作(可用作动名词或名词化的动名词) writings 作品(只能是名词化的动名词) 动名词用作定语时,和它所修饰的名词在逻辑上没有主谓关系,即它不是该名词的动作。现在 分词用作定语时,则和它所修饰的名词在逻辑上有主谓关系,它是该名词的动作。试比较: reading materials 阅读材料(reading 是动名词用作定语, 逻辑上 materials 决 非.reading 的主语,reading materials = materials for reading。) leading comrades 领导同志(1eading 是现在分词作定语,逻辑上comrades 是 leading 的主语,leading comrades= comrades who lead。) 动名词作定语的例子还有: a reading-room 阅览室 drinking water 饮用水 a writing course 一门写作课 a sleeping car 卧车(火车中可以睡觉的车厢) the getting-up bell 起床铃109 2.4.2 形 式 2.4.3 现在分词和过去分词的区别 2.4.4 分词和分词短语的用法 1) 分词(participle)也是一种非限定动词,它兼有动词和形容词的特征。 2) 分词可有宾语(仅限于现在分词)或状语,分词和宾语或状语一起构成分词短语。 分词有现在分词和过去分词两种。现在分词由动词原形后加词尾-ing 构成。规则动词 的过去分词由动词原形后加词尾-ed 构成,不规则动词的过去分词无一定规则。 现在分词和过去分词主要的区别表现在语态和时间关系上。 1) 语态上不同:现在分词表示主动的意思,而过去分词多由及物动词变来,表示被动的意 思。试比较: surprising 使人感到惊讶的(主动) surprised 自己感到惊讶的(被动,即被惊讶的) an exciting story 一个令人兴奋的故事(主动) excited spectators 激动的观众(被动,即被引起激动的) a moving film 一部感动人的影片。 A moved audience 受感动的观众 A tiring journey 累人的旅行 A tired football player 累了的足球运动员 He told us many interesting things last night.他昨夜告诉我们许多有趣的事情。 She is interested in astronomy.她对天文学有兴趣。 也有一些过去分词是由不及物动词变来的,它们只表示一个动作已完成,没有被动的意味。 如: fallen leaves 落叶 the exploded bomb 已爆炸了的炸弹 a retired miner 退休矿工returned students 归国留学生 2) 时间关系上不同:一般说来,现在分词所表示的动作往往正在进行,而过去分词所表示 的动作,往往已经完成。试比较: the changing world 正在变化着的世界 the changed world 已经起了变化的世界 boiling water 正在开的水 boiled water 已经煮开过的水(可能是凉开水) developing countries 发 展 中 国 家 developed countries 发达国家 1) 作定语作定语用的分词如果是单词,一般放在它所修饰的名词之前。如: I'm reading a very interesting book.我在读一本很有趣的书。 He likes to drink cold boiled water. 他喜欢喝凉开水。 分词短语作定语用时,一般皆放在它所修饰的名词的后面。它的功用相当于定语从句。 2.4.1 意义和特征110 如: China is a developing socialist country belonging to the Third world.中国是 一个发展中的社会主义国家,属于第三世界。 (= which belongs to the Third World) The man sitting it the corner is my brother.坐在角落里的那个人是我的兄弟。(= who is sitting in the comer) Most of the people invited to the party did not come.被邀请参加晚会的人多数 没有来。(= who were invited to the party.) 2)作表语 The opera is very moving and instructive.这个歌剧很动人,且有教育意义。 The cups are broken.这些杯子是破的。 He is married.他已经结婚了。 [注] 分词作表语用时,相当于形容词,不可与进行时态和被动语态中的分词混淆起来。它 们的形式相似,但可以从意义上加以辨别。试比较: Lei Feng's spirit is inspiring the people all over the country. 雷锋的精神鼓 舞着全国人民。(现在进行时) His report is inspiring. 他的报告令人鼓舞。(现在分词作表语) The road was completed by the PLA men.这条路是解放军战士修成的。(被动语态) The road is completed.这条路已经筑成。(过去分词作表语) 3)作状语分词在意义上也可用作状语,表示时间、原因、方式和伴随情况等。a) 表示时间(在意义上往往相当于表示时间的状语从句)。如: Looking out of the window,I saw groups of children passing by the house.我 从窗口望出去,看见成群的孩子们从房子前面走过。(= When I locked out of the window) Heated,the metal expands.这种金属加热后即膨胀。(= When it is healed) Opening the drawer he took out a dictionary.他打开抽屉,拿出一本词典。(= He opened the drawer and took...这两个动作是一个接着一个) [注]如果要强调分词短语与谓语动词所表示的时间关系,分词短语之前可用 when 或 while 等连词。如: While working in the factory (= While I was working in the factory),I learnt a lot from the workers.我在工厂工作期间,从工人那里学到了很多东西。 When heated,the metal expands.这种金属加热后即膨胀。 b)表示原因(在意义上相当于表示原因的状语从句)。如: Feeling tired, I telephoned and said I couldn't come to a hospital of Chinese medicine.我感到 累,打电话说我不能去。(= Since I felt tired) Thinking that Chinese medicine might help,he went to a hospital of Chinese medicine.他想中医也许有效,于是到一家中医医院去治病。(= As he thought that...) Inspired by the excellent situation they worked even harder.在太好形势的鼓舞 下,他们更加努力工作。(= Since they are inspired by...) c)表示方式、伴随情况及结果(这种用法没有相当的状语从句可以代替)。如: He came running back to tell us the news.他跑着回来告诉我们这个消息。(方式) She stood there waiting for the bus.她站在那儿等公共汽车。(伴随情况或方式) The child fell,striking head against the door and cutting it.小孩摔了一跤, 头在门上碰破了。(结果)111 2.4.5 分词的否定结构 2.4.6 含有分词的复合宾语 He went out slamming the door.他走出去砰地一声把门关上。(伴随情况) The lichens came borne by storms.这些地衣是由暴风雨带来的。(方式) 现在分词的否定式由 not 后加现在分词构成。如: Not knowing what to do,she went to the teacher for help.她不知道该怎么办, 就去请老师帮助。 I left at noon,not staying for lunch.我是中午走的,没有留下来吃午饭。 过去分词表否定时,常借助 un-等前缀表示。如: The boy was left uncared for.那孩子无人照管。 分词可作复合宾语中的宾语补足语。可有这种复合宾语的动词有 see,watch,hear, set,keep,find,have,get 等等。如: We saw them walking across the road.我们看见他们穿过那条马路。 We heard the children singing "I Love Beijing's Tian An Men"我们听见孩子们唱 《我爱北京天安门》。 I found my hometown almost completely rebuilt.我发现故乡几乎全部改建过了。 在 have 或get 后面的复合宾语中,宾语补足语多是过去分词,而它所表示的动作又往 往由别人所完成。如: We must get the television set repaired.我们必须把电视机修好。(请别人修) I had my watch mended in town.我在城里修的表。(叫别人修的) If we have shortcomings,we are not afraid to have them pointed out and criticized. 我们如果有缺点,就不怕别人批评指出。(请别人指出) 但 have 的复合宾语中的过去分词的动作有时不一定由别人来完成,而是表自己的经验。如: He had his arm broken.他把手臂折断了。(不是别人给弄折的,而是自己弄折的) [注一]上述句子结构变为被动语态时,除主语和宾语互换位置外,分词不动。如上面的第 一、二例句即可变为: They were seen walking across the road. The children were heard singing"I Love Beijing Tian An Men"。 [注二]现在分词在复合宾语中和动词不定式在复合宾语中的意义稍有不同。后者指事情的 全过程,目的在于仅仅说明发生了这件事;前者指正在继续的动作的一部分,目的在于将该动 作当时进行的情景呈现于读者之前,其含义相当于进行时态。如: I saw him go upstairs.我看见他上楼去了。(看见他上楼整个过程,只说明他上楼这 件事) I saw him going upstairs.我看见他走上楼的。(只看见他上楼这个动作的一部分,说 明他上楼的情景) I was working in the room all morning· I heard somebody All knock at the next door.我整个上午在房间工作,听见有人敲隔壁房间的门。(听见敲门整个过程) When I went back to the room,I heard her practicing singing in the next room. 我回房间时听见她在隔壁房间练歌。(只听见一部分,回房间前她已开始唱了)112 2.4.8 现在分词的被动语态 过去分词没有时态形式的变化,所以这里只讲现在分词的时态形式。 1)现在分词的时态形式 一般式 writing 完成式 having written 现在分词一般式其所表示的动作与谓语动词所表示的动作同时发生,或在谓语动词所表 示的动作之前或后发生。如: Working together with Dr. Bethune,we learnt a lot from him. 我们在和白求恩大夫一起工作期间,向他学到很多东西。 (working 与 leamt 同时发生) Knowing that they were going abroad next week ,they began to make preparations. 他们知道他们下星期要出国,所以都开始作准备。(knowing 发生在 began 之前) He came up to me,saying"Glad to see you again."他来到我跟前说道,"很高兴又 见到你。"(saying 发生在 came 之后) 现在分词完成式其所表示的动作发生在谓语动词所表示的动作之前,常常用作状语, 表示时间或原因。如: Having done his homework,the schoolboy began to write his diary.这个小学生 做完作业后,开始写日记。(having done his homework 发生在 began 之前,表示时间。) Not haying done it right, I tried again.没有做对,我就又试。 (not having done 发生在 tried 之前,表示原因。) 一般式 being written 完成式 haring been written 如: This is one of the many dams being built the river.这是沿河修筑的许多水坝之 一。 Being surrounded,the enemy troops were forced to surrender.敌军被包围了,被 迫投降。 Having been asked to stay,I couldn't very well leave.人家请我留下,我就不好 离开了。 独立结构(absolute construction) 分词短语所表示的动作在逻辑上有主语,这种主语皆可在同一句中找到。如: The young woman standing over there is our new English teacher.站在那边的年 轻妇女是我们新的英语老师。(分词短语 standing over there 的逻辑主语是 the young woman) Having finished his work,he went out to play volleyball.他做完工作后,出去 打排球。(having finished his work 的逻辑主语是 he)但有时分词短语有它自己的独立的 主语,这种主语常常是名词或代词(主格),放在分词短语之前,这种结构叫做独立结构。独立 结构常用作状语,多用在书面语中。如: The dark clouds having dispersed,the sun shone again.乌云已散去,太阳又普照 大地了。(时间状语) We shall thresh the wheat,weather permitting.天气好的话,我们就打麦。(条件 状语) 2.4.7 现在分词的时态113 Their room was on the first floor,its broad window overlooking the park.他 们的房间在二层楼上,房间里的宽大的窗户俯视着公园。(伴随情况状语,the first floor 在英国指第二层楼,在美国指第一层,其余可类推。) We redoubled our efforts,each man working like two.我们加倍努力工作,一人干 两人的活。(方式) Almost all metals are good conductors,silver being the best of all.几乎所有 的金属都是良导体,银是最好的导体。(伴随情况) The meeting over,we all left the room.会议结束以后,我们就都离开了房间。(时 间状语,注意over 之前省去了being) This done,we went home.做完此事,我们就回家了。(时间状语) She gazed,her hands clasped to her breast.她双手*在胸前凝视着。 [注一]有的分词短语可以独立存在,在句中没有逻辑上的主语。它们往往已经变成习惯用 语,必须熟记。如: Generally speaking,this book is not very difficult.总的说来,这本书并不很难。 Judging from what you say,he has done a very good job.从你的话看来,他的工 作做得很不错。 Considering that he has been in china for only a year,he speaks Chinese well. 考虑到他到中国才一年,他的中国话讲得很不错了。 类似的习惯用语尚有 talking of (谈起),speaking of (谈到)等引导的分词短语。 [注二]英语里还有一种较口语化的"with + 名词或代词宾格 + 分词 (或形容词、介词 短语)"结构,也往往作状语用,表示伴随情况。如: He fell asleep with the lamp burning. 他没有熄灯就睡着了。 She gazed with her hands clasped to her breast.她双手*在胸前凝视着。 上述结构中的分词亦可用形容词或介词短语代替。如: He sleeps with the windows open even in winter.他即使在冬天也开着窗户睡觉。 A girl carte in with a book in her hand.一位姑娘手里拿着一本书走了进来。(在 笔语中,也可说:A girl came in,book in hand.)
