going
现在分词的基本用法: 现在分词表示主动的意义;表示一般性的或正在进行的动作;在表现形式上有“一般式”和“完成式”与“主动式”和“被动式”之分,1)作表语现在分词作表语通常表示主语所具有的特征.例如:This story is quite interesting.The journey without you will be boring.2)作定语现在分词可以单独作定语,也可以构成合成词作定语,但在更多情况下是分词短语作定语,包括限定性和非限定性(用逗号与其他部分分开),在意义上相当于一个定语从句.现在分词作定语通常带有主动意义和未完成意义.例如:The man following was obviously in a hurry.(现在分词单独作定语)They acted just like a conquering army.(现在分词单独作定语)Do you know the man standing over there by the door? (分词短语作限定性定语)Last night,we caught a thief stealing John’s bike.(分词短语作限定性定语)The name Nebraske comes from the Oto Indian word “ebrathka”,meaning flat water.(分词短语作非限定性定语)3)作宾语补足语a.表示感觉和心理状态的动词,如hear,feel,find,listen to,look at,watch,notice,observe,smell,see等词的宾语可以用现在分词作宾语补足语.例如:I noticed him slipping away before the end of the meeting.I can smell turkey roasting,and it's making me hungry.b.表示“致使”等意义的动词,如catch,get,have,keep,leave,set等词的宾语可以用现在分词作宾语补足语.例如:What I saw just now set me thinking of my childhood in the countryside.Please don't keep the machine running while you are away.4)作状语 现在分词作状语表示主语在进行一动作的同时所进行的另一动作,它对谓语动词起修饰或陪衬的作用.这时要注意现在分词与其逻辑主语在时态和意义上的统一.例如:Rushing out of the room,he was knocked down by a car.(作时间状语)= When he rushed out of the room,he was knocked down by a car.Working harder,you will pass the entrance exam. (作条件状语)= If you work harder,you will pass the entrance exam.She sat at a window,reading a book.(作伴随状语)=She sat at a window and read a book.Having won the championship,he was awarded a million dollars.(作原因状语) =Because he had won the championship,he was awarded a million dollars.Even if taking a taxi,I will still be late for the meeting.(作让步状语)= Even if take a taxi,I will still be late for the meeting.The road is under construction,thus causing the delay. (作结果状语)= The road is under construction,and thus caused the delay.注意,当现在分词作让步状语时,一般放在句首,常常由although,though,even if, unless等连词引入;作结果状语时,一般放在句末,前面可以加so,thus,hence,thereby等副词.过去分词的基本用法: 与现在分词不同,过去分词表示被动的意义,表示已经完成和被动的动作.在表现形式上,只有一种形式.1)作表语过去分词作表语表示主浯所处的状态.用作表浯的过去分词大多来自及物动词;不及物动词的过去分词能作表语的只限于少数表示位置转移的动词,如go,come,assemble等,它们用在连系动词之后,表示完成意义,无被动意义.例如:The man looked quite disappointed.He is greatly discouraged by her refusal.His hair is nearly all gone. 已经形容词化了的过去分词大多可作表语,常见的有:accomplished,amazed,amused,astonished,broken,closed,completed,complicatcd, confused,crowded,devoted,disappointed,discouraged,drunk,excited,frightened,hurt,interested,lost,satisfied,surprised, worried等.做定语a) 前置定语的过去分词通常来自及物动词,带有被动意义和完成意义.例如:We like skating in the frozen lake in the winter.= We like skating in the lake which has been frozen in the winter.How many finished products have you got up to now?= How many products that have been finished have you got up to now?来自不及物动词的过去分词很少能单独用作前置定语,能作这样用的仅限以下几个词,这时仅表示完成意义,不表示被动意义:a retired worker = a worker who has retired an escaped prisoner = a prisoner who has escapeda faded/withered flower = a flower that has faded the risen sun = the sun that has just risena returned student = a student who has returnedvanished treasure = treasure that has vanishedb)用作后置定语的过去分词通常也来自及物动词,表示被动意义和完成意义.这时相当于一个定语从句.例如:Things seen are better than things heard.= Things which are seen are better than things which are heard.The lobster broiled over charcoal was delicious.= The lobster which was broiled over charcoal was delicious.做宾语补足语a) see, hear, feel,find,think等表示感觉和心理状态的动词可以带过去分词作宾语补足语.例如:Tom found himself involved in an awkward situation.I saw Tom dressed like a beggar in the street.Everybody thought the match lost until the last minute.d) make, get, have, keep 等表示“致使”意义的动词可以带过去分词作宾语补足语.例如:I have my clothes washed everyday.Don't get your schedule changed;stay with us in the class.He’s trying to make himself understood.Please keep us informed of the latest price.c)like,want,wish,order等表示希望、要求、命令等意义的动词可以带过去分词作宾语补足语.例如: We don't like such topics (to be) discussed in class.I wish this problem (to be) solved this week.4)作状语 用作状语的过去分词通常来自及物动词.过去分词用作状语时,修饰主句的谓语动词,意义上相当于状语从句,表示时间、条件、原因、伴随状况等.过去分词作状语,前边往往可以加when, while, if,as if, though.一般说来,这种结构的逻辑主语必须与主句的主语一致.例如:Whenever praised,she blushes.(作时间状语)= Whenever she is praised,she blushes.United,we stand;divided,we fall.(作条件状语)= If we are united,we stand;If we are divided,we fall.Written in great haste,this book is full of errors.(作原因状语)= Because this book is written in great haste,it is full of errors.Mary was reading a love story,completely lost to the romantic life.(作伴随状浯)= Mary was reading a love story,and was completely lost to the romantic life.Although born in Germany,John lives and works in U.S.A. (作让步状语)= Although John was born in Germany,he lives and works in U.S.A.3.分词的完成式及被动式前面提到过,过去分词只有一种形式,所以这里所讲的完成式及被动式均指现在分词的完成式及被动式.如果现在分词表示的是一般性动作,不表明动作的先后或与谓语动作同时发生,这时要用现在分词的一般形式.例如:Living in the downtown,we found a lot of amusements.如果现在分词所表示的动作先于句子谓语发生,就要用现在分词的完成式“(not) having+过去分词”.例如:Having heard from my father,I was relieved.Not having received any letter from my family,I was worried.如果现在分词的逻辑主语是现在分词所表示的动作的对象,则要用现在分词的被动形式,包括其一般形式“(not) being+过去分词”和其完成形式“(not) having been+过去分词”.例如:Upon being questioned,he denied having robbed the bank.The new method,having been widely used abroad,can increase the working efficiency.4.分词独立结构如果过去分词或现在分词带有与句子主语不同的主语,这就构成了独立结构,也叫独立主格结构或垂悬结构,通常在句中起状语丛句的作用,表示原因、时间、条件、方式或伴随状况.例如:The holidays being over,they began to get down to do their work again.(原因状语)= As the holiday was over,they began to get down to do their work again.All things considered,her paper is of greater value than yours.(条件状语)= All things are considered,her paper is of greater value than yours.His homework done,Johan went out to play. (时间状语)= After his homework had been done,Johan went out to play.The girl was smiling sweetly,her long hair flowing in the breeze.(伴随状语)当独立结构表示伴随状况时,可变为由with引导的介词词组, 而表示否定意义的类似结构便可由without引导.例如上例可变为:The girl was smiling sweetly with her long hair flowing in the breeze.Without anyone noticing,I slipped out of the room. 独立结构的位置比较灵活,它可以置于句首、句中或句末.另外,独立结构中用作主语的名词之前的限定词有时可以省略.例如: The manager sat quietly in his office,(his) eyes closed.He stood in the doorway,(his) wet cloak dripping water on the rug,and waited for some sign of recognition.
