我在前面的文章中讲,非谓语动词作状语时,它的逻辑主语一般是主句的主语。
如:Hearing the news, he was very excited. (he是hearing的逻辑主语)
=When he heard the news, he was very excited.(主从句主语是一致的)
但有时非谓语动词带有自己的主语,与主句的主语不发生关系,这种结构我们称之为独立主格结构(Absolute Construction)。其实,所谓“独立主格结构”也并非真正独立,它还是一种从属的结构。
如: His mother to come tonight,he is busy preparing the dinner.他母亲今晚要来,他正在忙着准备饭菜。
= As his mother is to come tonight, he is busy preparing the dinner.(主从句主语不一致)
![会用2种独立主格结构,让你的高考英语作文提分](http://p2.ttnews.xyz/loading.gif)
独立主格结构的基本形式
一.名词普通格/代词主格+现在分词/过去分词/不定式/名词/形容词/副词/介词短语
1.名词/代词+ 现在分词 (表主动)
例 :The man lay there, his hands trembling.
So many students being absent, the meeting had to be put off.
His homework having been done, Tom went to sleep.
注:“独立结构”中的being或 having been 有时可以省去,这样就成了无动词分句或过去分词分句。
如:So many students absent, the meeting had to be put off.
His homework done, Tom went to sleep.
但是!!!
含有being的独立主格结构中being 不能省略(必背,常考)
It being National Day today,the streets are very crowded. 今天是国庆节,街上很拥挤。
= As it is National Day today, the streets are very crowded.
There being no further business to discuss, we all went home. 没有别的事可讨论,我们都回家了。
= As there was no further business to discuss, we all went home.
2. 名词/代词+过去分词 (表被动)
例: The boy lay on his back, his hands crossed under his head.
The job not finished, we couldn’t see the film.
Her shirt caught on a nail, she could not move.
3. 名词/代词+不定式 ( 不定式表示的是将来的动作)
例:He suggested going for a picnic, Mary to provide the food.
These are the first two books, the third one to come out next month.
We shall get together at 7:30, the procession to start moving at 8 .
4. 名词/代词+名词 (名词一般做前面名词或代词的同位语)
例: Many people joined in the work, some of them women and children.
He fought the tiger,a stick his only weapon.
5. 名词/代词+形容词短语 ( 形容词(短语)说明前面名词或代词的性质,状态,原因等)
例:The floor wet and slippery, we had to stay outside for a while.
I heard that she got injured in the accident, my heart full of sorry.
6. 名词/代词+副词(副词说明前面名词或代词的状态)
例: The meeting over, we all went home.
Nobody in, he left a message on the board.
He sat at the table, head down.
7. 名词/代词+介词短语 (介词短语说明伴随前面名词或代词的方式或者状态)
例 :The teacher came in, a book under his arm.
The hunter entered the forest, gun in hand.
Nobody at home, the thief took a lot of things away.
Note: 有很多同学对上面的例句有疑问,说“ Nobody at home, the thief took a lot of things away. ”直接写成“ Nobody was at home, the thief took a lot of things away. ”不就可以吗?
不不不可以!(这是学生们在写作文时常犯的语法错误)。两个用逗号隔开的句子,一定要有一个连词,否则这个句子是错的。这个句子可以是
Because nobody at home, the thief took a lot of things away.
如果没有Because等连词,那么就要用从属的结构,比如非谓语或者独立主格结构。
二. with/without 引导的独立主格结构
1. with+名词代词+形容词
