英语语法第八章独立主格结构 非谓语动词作状语时,它的逻辑主语应该是句子的主语。但有时非谓语动词带有自己的主语,从而在结构上与主语不发生关系,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。 一、 非谓语动词独立主格结构

在独立主格结构中,非谓语动词和它前面的名词或代词存在着逻辑上的主谓关系。 Such an able man to help you,you will surely succeed sooner or later.

有这么能干的人来帮你, 你迟早一定会成功的。(such an able man和 to help you 之间存在着主谓关系)

= Since such an able man will help you, you will surely succeed sooner or later. He seating himself at the desk, his mother began to tell him a story.

他在书桌旁坐好后,他母亲开始给他讲故事。(seating himself at the desk拥有了自己的逻辑主语he,注意是“主格”)

= When he seated himself at the desk, his mother began to tell him a story. The key to the bike lost, he had to walk to school.

由于丢了自行车钥匙,他只好步行去学校。(lost 的逻辑主语是the key,lost 也可以用完成式having been lost)

= Because the key to the bike had been lost, he had to walk to school. A. 不定式“独立主格结构”

在“逻辑主语+动词不定式”结构中,动词不定式和它前面的名词或代词存在着逻辑上的主谓关系。这种结构也可用一个从句或并列分句来表达。 1.动词不定式用主动的形式

在独立主格结构中,动词不定式和它前面的名词或代词存在着逻辑上的主谓关系。 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.)

——will you go to the concert tonight 你今晚去听音乐会吗?

——Sorry.So many exercise-books to check,I really can't afford any time. 对不起,有这多的作业要批,我真的抽不出时间。

(=Because I shall check so many exercise-books tonight,I really can't afford any time.) The four of us agreed on a division of labor,each to translate a quarter of the book. 我们四人同意分工干,每人翻译全书的四分之一。

(=The four of us agreed on a division of labor and each is to translate a quarter of the book.) Many trees, flowers, and grass to be planted, our newly-built school will look even more beautiful. 种上许多的树,花和草后,我们新建的学校将看上去更美。(=If many trees,flowers,and grass are planted,our newly-built school will look even more beautiful.) B.-ing形式“独立主格结构”

动词的-ing形式作状语时,其逻辑主语一般应与句子的主语保持一致。 Being ill, he went home.

由于生病,他回家了。(= As he was very ill, he went home.) Seating himself at the desk, he began to read a magazine. 在课桌旁坐好后,他开始看杂志。(= When he had seated himself at the desk, he began to read a magazine.)

1. 表示时间的-ing形式作“独立主格结构”

1

Everyone being ready, the teacher began his class.

每个人都准备好后,老师开始上课。(相当于一个时间状语从句When everyone was ready)

The chairman began the meeting , everyone being seated.

每个人坐好后,主席开始开会。(相当于一个时间状语从句after everyone was seated) 2. 表示原因的-ing形式作“独立主格结构”

The boy leading the way, we had no trouble finding the strange cave. 由那个男孩带路,我们没有困难就找到了那奇怪的洞。(相当于一个原因状语从句Because the boy led the way) Many eyes watching him, he felt a bit nervous. 许多眼睛看着他,他感到有点儿紧张。(相当于一个原因状语从句As many eyes were watching him) 必背:

含有being的独立主格结构。

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. 3. 表示条件的-ing形式作“独立主格结构” Time permitting, we will have a picnic next week.

时间允许的话,我们下星期将进行一次野炊。(相当于一个条件状语从句If time permits)

My health allowing, I will work far into the night.

我的健康许可的话,我愿工作到深夜。(相当于一个条件状语从句If my health allows) 4. 表示方式的-ing形式作“独立主格结构”

The students are walking in the school happily, each wearing a card in front of his chest.

学生们快乐地在学校里走着,每个人胸前都带着一张卡。(相当于一个并列分句and each wears a card in front of his chest)

The boy lay on the grass, his eyes looking at the sky. 男孩躺在草地上,眼睛看着天空。(相当于一个并列分句and his eyes were looking at the sky) C.-ed形式“独立主格结构”

与逻辑主语+动词的-ing形式一样,如果-ed形式的逻辑主语和句子的主语不一致的话,就需要用-ed形式的独立主格结构。

The book written in simple English, English beginners were able to read it. 该书是用简单英语写的,英语初学者也能看懂。

= As the book was written in simple English,English beginners were able to read it. The workers worked still harder, their living conditions greatly improved. 由于工人们的生活条件大大提高,他们工作得更起劲了。

= As their living conditions were greatly improved, the workers worked still harder. He was listening attentively in class, his eyes fixed on the blackboard. 他上课专心听讲,眼睛紧盯着黑板。

= He was listening attentively in class, and his eyes were fixed on the blackboard. The task completed,he had two months' leave. 任务完成以后,他休了两个月的假。(=When the task had been completed,he had two months' leave.)

比较:

动词不定式表示动作没有发生或即将发生,动词-ed形式表示动作已经结束,动词-ing形式往往表示动作正在进行。

The manager looks worried,many things to settle. 经理看上去很着急, 有这么多的事情要处理。(事情还没有处理,而且是由经理本人来处理,用不定式to settle)

The manager looks relaxed, many things settled. 许多事情已经处理好了, 经理看上去很轻松。(事情已经处理好了,用动词-ed形式settled表示动作已经结束)

The food being cooked, the boy was watching TV. 小孩一边做饭,一边看电视。(两个动作同时进行)

The food cooked, the boy went to bed. 饭做好了,小孩去睡了。(两个动作有先后,饭已做好,小孩才去睡觉的) 二、 动词独立主格结构

“逻辑主语+being+其他”是独立主格结构中的“逻辑主语+动词-ing形式”的一种形式。在这种结构中,being往往可以被省去,这种省去being的结构,称之为无动词“独立主格结构”。 A.逻辑主语+名词

Ten students entered for the competition, the youngest a boy of 12. 十个学生报名参加了这次竞赛,年纪最小的是个12岁的男孩。(the youngest和a boy of 12之间省去了being) 注意:

独立主格结构中的being在下列两种情况下一般不能省略,一是在“There being + 名词”结构中,二是在逻辑主语是代词的情况下。

= He was standing in front of the blackboard, and his back was towards us. The new teacher came in, a smile on her face. 新老师面带微笑走了进来。

= The teacher came in and a ruler was in his hand. 提示:

音乐老师站在门口,手里拿着一把小提琴。(= The music teacher stood at the door, a violin in his hand.)

三、 with, without 引导的独立主格结构

介词withwithout +宾语+宾语的补足语可以构成独立主格结构,上面讨论过的独立主格结构的几种情况在此结构中都能体现。 A. with+名词代词+形容词
