英语独立主格结构说明

2011-07-07来源:和谐英语

三、使用独立主格结构的注意事项

(1) 当状语从句的主语与主句的主语不是指同一个对象时,可用独立主格结构取代状语从句,但不再保留连词。如:

After class was over (=Class being over/Class over) , the students soon left the classroom. 下课后,学生很快离开了课室。

(2) 在下列两种情况下,独立主格结构中的being(或having been)不能省略:

a. 独立主格的逻辑主语是代词时。如:

It being Sunday, we went to church. 因为是星期天,我们去了做礼拜。

b. 在There being+名词的结构中。如:

There being no bus, we had to go home on foot. 因为没有公共汽车,所以我们不得不步行回家。

(3) 在“名词(或代词)+介词短语”构成的独立主格结构中,一般不用形容词性物主代词和冠词。如:

Miss Smith entered the classroom, book in hand. 史密斯先生走进了课室,手里拿着一本书。

(比较with的复合结构:Miss Smith entered the classroom, with a book in his hand. )

(4) 独立主格结构没有所有格形式。如:

The chief-editor arriving, we began the meeting. 主编来了,我们开始开会。

(比较动名词复合结构:The chief-editor’s arriving made us very surprised. )

(5) 独立主格结构作时间或原因状语时,可用完成时,表示该动作发生在谓语之前。如:

The listeners having taken their seats, the concert began. 听众坐好后,音乐会开始了。

Tom having been late over and over, his boss was very disappointed. 由于汤姆一再迟到,他的老板非常失望。
