分词状语的七大理解技巧

三、用作条件状语

1. 典型例句

Working hard, you will succeed. 如果努力工作，你就可以成功。

Adding them all up, we can find the answer. 如果把它们加起来，我们就可以得到答案。

United, we stand; divided, we fall. 团结则存，分裂则亡。

Given more time, we could have done it better. 如果多给点时间，我们可以做得更好。

2. 理解技巧

分词(短语)用作条件状语通常可转换成由从属连词if引导的条件状语从句，如上面几句也可转换成：

If you work hard, you will succeed.

If we add them all up, we can find the answer.

If we are united, we stand; if we are divided, we fall.

If we had been given more time, we could have done it better.

3. 考题实例

_________ time, he’ll make a first-class tennis player.

A. Having given           B. To give             C. Giving            D. Given

【分析】答案选D。give 与其逻辑主语 he 是动宾关系，用过去分词，故选 D。分词短语 Given time 可转换成条件状语从顺 If he is given time。

四、用作让步状语

1. 典型例句

Although living miles away, he attended the course. 虽然住在几英里以外，他仍去上课。

Defeated, he remained a popular boxer. 虽然被击败了，他仍是一个受欢迎的拳击手。

2. 理解技巧

分词(短语)用作让步状语通常可转换成由从属连词though, although, no matter…等引导的让步状语从句，如上面两句也可转换成：

Although he lived miles away, he attended the course.

Thought he was defeated, he remained a popular boxer.

3. 考题实例

No matter how frequently _________, the works of Beethoven still attract people all over the world.

A. performed      B. performing        C. to be performed      D. being performed

【分析】答案选A。现在分词短语performed在此相当于they are performed。No matter how frequently they are performed的意思是“无论它们（指贝多芬的作品）被演奏多少次”。

五、用作伴随状语

1. 典型例句

He sat in the chair reading a newspaper. 他坐在椅子上看报。

Don't you sit there doing nothing. 别什么也不干坐在那里。

He came in, followed by his wife. 他走了进来，后面跟着他的妻子。

2. 理解技巧

理解“伴随状语”的关键是要理解“伴随”二字。分词(短语)用作伴随状语时，它表示的动作伴随句子谓语动作同时发生，即句子谓语所表示的动作为主要动作，分词短语所表示的动作伴随性的次要动作。

3. 考题实例

(1) Don’t sit there _________ nothing. Come and help me with this table.

A. do                     B. to do               C. doing                D. and doing

(2)  My cousin came to see me from the country, _________ me a full basket of fresh fruits.

A. brought              B. bringing           C. to bring            D. had brought

(3) Whenever he was asked why he was late for class, he would answer carelessly, always ________ the same thing.

A. saying                 B. said                 C. to say              D. having said

(4) We often provide our children with toys, footballs or basketballs, _______ that all children like these things.

A. thinking                B. think                C. to think           D. thought

【分析】以上四题答案分别为CBAA。
