小结 -ing 形式的用法1. –ing 形式作状语
用法 例句时间 Walking along the street, I met
Mary. (= While I was walking along the street….) 在街上走的时候,我遇到了玛丽。
用法 例句
原因 Being tired, I stopped to take a rest.(= Because I was tired, ….) 因为疲倦,我停下来休息。
条件 Turning to the left, you will find the school. (= If you turn to the left, ….) 向左走,你就会找到那个学校。
用法 例句
让步 Knowing where I live, he never come to see me .(= Though he knows where I live, ….) 尽管他知道我的住处,但从不来看我。
用法 例句伴随 I stood there, waiting for her. (=
…, and waited for her.) 我站在那儿等她。
结果 It rained heavily, causing severe flooding in the area.(= It rained heavily so that it caused severe flooding in the area.) 在这个地方雨下的如此大,以至引发了洪灾。
2. –ing 形式的完成式句型
主动
Having +p.p. …, 主语 + 谓语
被动
(Having been) +p.p. …, 主语 + 谓语
用法 • –ing 形式的完成式所表示的时间在谓语动词之前
• 表示被动可直接用过去分词例句 Having finished my work, I went hom
e. (= After I had finished my work, ….)工作做完只后,我就回家了。
例句:(Having been) written in haste, the book has some faults. 这本书因仓促写成,所以有些缺憾。
分词 (短语 ) 作状语时 , 其逻辑主语必须与句子的主语一致。如果不一致,必须用独立主格结构来表示,也就是在分词前面加上它的逻辑主语。
3. 使用 - ing 形式需注意的几个问题。
My wife had a long talk with Sally,
explaining why she didn’t want the
children to play together.
我妻子与莎莉谈了很长时间 , 解释她为什么不想让孩子们在一起玩。
( 现在分词 explaining 是句子主语 my wife 做的动作 ,它们之间是主动关系 , 即 explaining 的逻辑主语,就是句子的主语 my wife 。 )The train having gone, we had to wait another day. ( the train 逻辑主语 + having gone 即为独立主格结构)
分词短语做状语时,前面可以加上连词或介词,但是分词短语和句子之间不能用并列连词 (如 but , and) ,因为并列连词接的是两个并列成分,而分词短语只是全句的一个状语部分,分词和主句之间可用逗号。
例如 :
误 : Having been told many times, but he
still couldn’t understand it.
正 : He was told many times, but he still
couldn’t understand it. 或 Having been told many times, he still
couldn’t understand it.
-ing 的一般式和完成式现在分词都可以表示先后接连发生的动作。在可能引起误解的场合应该用完成式现在分词表示先发生的动作。
例如 :
Opening the drawer , he took out hi
s
wallet. (=He opened the drawer and t
ook out his wallet.)
他打开抽屉,拿出钱包。
Coming into the room, he put down h
is bag. (=He came into the room and
put down his bag.)
他走进房间,放下提包。
Having brushed his teeth, Mr. Brown
came downstairs for breakfast.
布朗先生刷过牙 , 就下楼来吃早饭。( 此句如写成 : Brushing his teeth,
Mr. Brown came downstairs for
breakfast. 可能指 “边刷牙 , 边下楼 。 )
分词的否定形式是在分词短语前面加上 not, never 等否定词构成。
例如 :
Not fearing the fire, the child touched
and got a finger burnt. 小孩儿不知道 怕火,用手去摸,把手指烫了。Not knowing how to find the subway,
I asked a policeman for help. 我不知怎样找到地铁,就去找警察帮忙。
