做状语
形容词可以作状语形容词除了可以作定语、表语或补语外,还可以在句中作状语,具有副词的功能.形容词作状语用时,一般用逗号将其与句子的其余部分隔开.这种状语可位于句首、句末或句中.它在意义上相当于一个状语从句,具有以下语义和特征.
一、形容词或形容词短语可以作状语,表示行为方式或伴随状况.有时,它会像非限制性定语从句一样,表示意义上的增补,其逻辑主语是句子的主语.例如:
1. Crusoe stared at the footprint, full of fear. (=Curose, who was full of fear, stared at the footprint. )克鲁索两眼死盯着脚印看,内心里充满着恐惧.
2. He approached us, full of apologies. (=He, who was full of apologies, approached us. )他连声道歉地朝我们走过来.
二、形容词或形容词短语可以作状语,表示原因.这种状语一般位于句首,有时也可位于句中.例如:
1. Angry at the girl oversleeping, Mr Green went down to wake her up. (=Mr Green went down to wake up the girl because he was angry with her for oversleeping. )格林先生下去叫醒她,是因为她睡过了头惹恼了他.
