考點三 獨立主格結構
獨立主格結構是介于分詞和主謂句之間的非謂語形式,對于分詞來講其邏輯主語必須和句子的主語保持一致,而獨立主格則在很大程度上克服了這一局限性
1、主要特征
(1) 獨立主格是含有主語的分詞結構,分詞與主語間是主謂關系,
基本形式為:主語+現在分詞或過去分詞
如:his heart bleeding
the baby crying
the project completed
The school being over, the street was full of the students.
= When the school was over, the street was full of the students.
(2)切記獨立主格不等同于主謂結構,
比較:my mind wandering (獨立主格);
My mind was wandering (主謂結構)
(3)獨立主格的主語和句子主語不一致
如:(With) His mouth filled with water, he couldn’t utter a word. (獨立主格)
對于分詞來講其邏輯主語必須和句子的主語保持一致:
Filling his mouth with water, he couldn’t utter a word.
2. 在句子中的作用
獨立主格結構通常在句中表示時間、條件,原因、伴隨狀態等
如:The film being over, we had a stroll on the nearby street. (時間)
Weather permitting, I will go fishing with my family. (條件)
Time pressing, they had to work overtime. (原因)
The leaves rustling in the breeze, I roamed on the country road. (伴隨)
例題:
(1)
----modern offices becoming more mechanized, designers are attempting to personalize them with warmer, less severe interiors.
(A) If
(B) But
(C) With
(D)Once
答案:C
解釋:句中主干完整, 主語是designers, 謂語是are attempting, 之后是不定式構成的賓語. 空白后 becoming 采取分詞形式, modern offices是becoming的邏輯主語, 因此可確定需填入的詞會與原句構成獨立主格結構, 而不是從句, A B D可一次性排除, 其實此句除去空白處, 已是完整的句子, 類似句子如: The man entered the room, his hair flying in the air.
注意: 表示伴隨狀態的獨立主格結構通?梢杂蓋ith引導, 如本例題.
