分詞做狀語時(shí),前面可用連詞或介詞。
例如:

Though built before the Second World War,the engine is still in good condition。盡管是在二戰(zhàn)以前建的,這引擎仍然處于良好狀態(tài)。

(二)用法
1.作定語。作定語的分詞通常放在被修飾的名詞之前。如果被修飾的詞是something,anything,everything,nothing等,則分詞放在這些詞之后。分詞短語通常放在被修飾的名詞之后。
例如:
This is an interesting book。(=This is a book。It is interesting。)這是一本有趣的書。
There is something interesting in the news。(=There is something in the news。 It is interesting。)消息中有些有趣的事。
The man sitting by the window is our math teacher。(=The man who is sitting by the window is our math teacher。)靠窗戶坐著的那個(gè)人是我們的數(shù)學(xué)老師
The machine run by the old worker is made in Shanghai。(=The machine that is run by the old worker is made in Shanghai。)那位老工人開的機(jī)器是上海造的。
Most of students singing were girls。(=Most of the students who were singing…)唱歌的學(xué)生多數(shù)是女生。
Many of the villagers questioned refused to answer。(=Many of the villagers who were questioned…)被問的許多村里人都拒絕。
注意:(1)分詞作定語與動(dòng)名詞作定語的區(qū)別:
分詞和它所修飾的名詞有邏輯上的主、謂關(guān)系。動(dòng)名詞則沒有這種關(guān)系,而表示它所修飾的詞的用途或有關(guān)動(dòng)作。
現(xiàn)在分詞 |
動(dòng)名詞 |
A sleeping child(a child who is sleeping)正在睡覺的孩子 |
A sleeping car(a car for sleeping)臥車 |
A flying bird(a bird that is flying)飛鳥 |
A flying course(a course for flying)飛行課程 |
A swimming girl(a girl who is swimming)游泳的女孩 |
A swimming pool(a pool for swimming)游泳池 |
The running water(the water that is running)流水 |
The running track(the track for running)跑道 |
現(xiàn)在分詞和它所修飾的名詞都要重讀,動(dòng)名詞所修飾的名詞則不必重讀。
(2)現(xiàn)在分詞作定語時(shí),它表示動(dòng)作正在進(jìn)行或與謂語動(dòng)詞所表示的動(dòng)作同時(shí)發(fā)生(或差不多同時(shí)發(fā)生)。
例如:
Who is the boy dancing over there?在那兒跳舞的少年是誰呀?
The girls swimming in the sea were in danger。 在海里游泳的姑娘們有危險(xiǎn)。
如果兩個(gè)動(dòng)作在時(shí)間上有先后,一般不能用現(xiàn)在分詞作定語,而往往用主從復(fù)合句結(jié)構(gòu)。
例如:
The man who has gone to Shanghai will be back again。到上海去的那個(gè)人會(huì)回來的。
The teacher wants to talk to the students who smashed the windows。老師要找打破了窗子的那個(gè)學(xué)生談話。
(3)be的現(xiàn)在分詞being不能用作定語(可用作狀語或被動(dòng)語態(tài)中的助動(dòng)詞)。表示這種概念時(shí),也用主從復(fù)合句結(jié)構(gòu)。
例如:
He has a brother who is a worker。他有一個(gè)當(dāng)工人的兄弟。
