过去分词的逻辑主语必须和句子的主语保持一致.
(1) 作状语:
分词的逻辑主语和句子的主语保持一致的情况下,如果分词和句子的主语之间在逻辑上是
被动关系,用过去分词,否则用现在分词。分词短语也可以有自己的逻辑主语,这种结构
称为独立主格结构。分词作状语可以相当于一个状语从句。现在分词的被动式,习惯上不
作伴随状语。注意比较下面的句子:
Seen from the space, the earth looks blue. = When it is seen from space, the earth looks blue.
Kept in refrigerator, these vegetables willremain fresh.
= If they are kept in refrigerator, these vegetables will remain fresh
Walking in the street, I came across an old friend.= When I was walking in the street, I came across an old friend.
2) 作表语:
一般来说,表示心理状态的动词如excite, interest等都是及物动词,汉语意思不是“激动”,“高兴”,而是“使激动”、“使高兴”,因而现在分词应该是“令人激动的”、“令人高兴的”,过去分词则是“感到激动的”和“感到高兴的”。所以,凡表示“令人……的”都是-ing形式,凡是表示“感到……”都用-ed形式。换句话说,-ed形式常和人有关,-ing形式常和物有关。look, expression等词作主语时常用-ed形式作表语,但有时要看具体情况。请在下面的几组句中体会他们的区别
The news was very exciting. I was excited at it..
The book is interesting. He is interested in it
The question is puzzling. His look is puzzled.
His expression was frightening. I was frightened
delighting令人高兴的-delighted感到高兴的
disappointing令人失望的-disappointed感到失望的
encouraging令人鼓舞的-encouraged感到鼓舞的
pleasing令人愉快的-pleased感到愉快的
satisfying令人满意的-satisfied感到满意的
surprising令人惊异的-surprised感到惊异的
worrying令人担心的-worried感到担心的
tiring令人疲倦的- tired感到疲倦的
boring 令人厌烦的-bored 感到厌烦的
(3) 作定语:过去分词做定语与其修饰词
之间是动宾关系或过去分词表示的动作
已完成;现在分词作定语表示
u The picture hanging on the wall is painted
by my nephew.
The building being built is a hospital.
u The flowers smelling sweet in the botanic
garden attract the visitors to the beauty of nature
u Linda worked for the Minnesota Manufacturing
and Mining Company, known as 3M.
u The key to solving the problem is to meet the
demand made by the customers.
u Prices of daily goods bought through a
computer can be lower than store prices.
便于记忆-ed形式和-ing形式作表语及作
定语时的区别的句子:
I am interested in the interesting book.
He was excited at the exciting news.
The parents were disappointed about their disappointing son.
Mr. Smith, tired of the boring speech, started to read a novel.
(4)作补语:
跟分词作宾补的动词有:catch, have get, keep, hear, find,feel, leave, make, want, start,
notice, observe, watch, set等。在复合宾语中,用现在分词作宾补,说明宾语是动作的发出者,形成逻辑上的主谓关系;用过去分词作宾补,表示宾语是动作的承受者,构成逻辑
上的动宾关系。
There was so much noise that the speaker couldn’t make himself heard
When he awoke, he found himself being looked after by an old woman.
Just now I caught him stealing things from the supermarket.
Laws that punish parents for their little children’s actions against the laws get parents worried.
NOTE:非谓语动词使用条件: 一个句子当中,已经存在一个主句(谓语动词),又没有连词的情况下, 还有别的动词出现时。并非分词的逻辑主语都要和句子的主语一致。此时的分词短语又可称为垂悬状语。有些动词不定式也可以这样运用。常见的这种情况有:
Strictly speaking, smoking is not allowed here
Judging from what he said, he is a southerner
Taken as a whole, there is nothing important in his speech.
To tell you the truth, I don’t like English teacher
To speak frankly, I don’t agree with you about the case.
