独立主格结构得用法
一、独立主格结构得概念
独立主格结构(Absolute Structure)就是由名词或代词加上分词等构成得一种独立结构,用于修饰整个句子。独立主格结构中得名词或代词与其后得分词等构成逻辑上得主谓关系。这种结构与主句不发生句法上得联系,它得位置相当灵活,可置于主句前、主句末或主句中,常由逗号将其与主句分开。在句中作状语,相当于一个状语从句。
需特别注意得就是,独立主格结构与主句之间不能使用任何连接词。 二、独立主格结构基本构成形式
名词(代词)+现在分词;过去分词;形容词;副词;不定式;名词;介词短语) 1、 名词(代词)+现在分词
例句:The storm drawing near,the navvy decided to call it a day. The storm drawing near在句中作: 原因状语
=Since the storm was drawing near,the navvy decided to call it a day.
由于暴风雨即将来临,那个挖土小工决定收工。(call it a day 今天到此为止) 例句:Winter ing, it gets colder and colder、
Winter ing在句中作:伴随状语 = The winter es, and it gets colder and colder、 冬天来了,天气越来越冷了。
造句:时间允许得话,我就与您一起走。
Time permitting, I will go with you、 独立主格作:条件状语 =改写:If time permits, I will go with you、 造句:那个姑娘望着她,她不知道说什么好。
The girl staring at him, he didn’t know what to say、 独立主格作:时间状语
=改写:As the girl stared at him, he didn’t know what to say、 2、 名词(代词)+过去分词
例句:He was listening attentively in class, his eyes fixed on the blackboard、

例句:The meeting gone over, everyone tired to go home earlier、
会议结束后,每个人都想早点回家。 造句:工作完成后,她回家了。
The work done, he went back home、
= When the work was done, he went back home、 3、 名词(代词)+不定式
在“名词/代词+动词不定式”结构中,动词不定式与它前面得名词或代词如果存在着逻辑上得主谓关系,动词不定式则用主动得形式;如果就是动宾关系,则用被动形式。
例句: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,每人翻译全书得四分之一。
