分词状语的七大理解技巧

我们可以肯定地说，分词的状语用法是所有分词用法中最重要的，也是最难掌握的。各类英语考题也说明，分词作状语的用法是所有分词用法中最常考的。因此，本文拟对分词作状语的用法作一小结和分析，同时归纳一些行之有效的做题方法和理解技巧，以帮助大家掌握其用法。

一、用作时间状语

1. 典型例句

Seeing the cat, the mouse ran off. 见到猫，老鼠就跑了。

The work finished, he went home. 工作做完后，他就回家了。

2. 理解技巧

分词(短语)用作时间状语通常可转换成时间状语从句(引导时间状语的从属连词需根据句意来确定)，如上面两句也可转换成：

When [As soon as] the mouse saw the cat, it ran off.

After the work was finished, he went home.

3. 考题实例

When _________ different cultures, we often pay attention only to the differences without noticing the many similarities.

A. compared              B. being compared

C. comparing             D. having compared

【分析】此题答案选C，分词短语when comparing different cultures相当于时间状语从句when we compare different cultures。

二、用作原因状语

1. 典型例句

Being very weak, she couldn't move. 她由于身体虚弱而不能行动。

His car broken down, he had to walk. 他的车坏了，所以只好走路。

Much discouraged, she moved on to London. 她很沮丧，搬到了伦敦。

2. 理解技巧

分词(短语)用作原因状语通常可转换成由as, because, since, now that 等引导的原因状语从句，如上面三句也可转换成：

As she was very weak, she couldn’t move.

Because his car broken was down, he had to walk.

Because she was much discouraged, she moved on to London.

3. 考题实例

(1) _________ with so much trouble, we failed to complete the task on time.

A. Faced            B. Face               C. Facing                D. To face

【分析】答案选A。现在分词短语faced with so much trouble可转换成原因状语从句because we were faced with so much trouble。

(2) _________ for the breakdown of the school computer network, Alice was in low spirits.

A. Blaming          B. Blamed            C. To blame           D. To be blamed
