独立主格结构
独立词或代词加其它成分(分词、不定式、名词、代词、修饰词、副词或介词短语)组成的独立主格结构。
独立的主体结构没有主语和谓语,因此语法上没有句子。然而,有许多逻辑主语由名词或代词表示,逻辑谓语由分词或不定式表示,有时还有其他装饰成分。(判断一个结构是否是句子的标准是看这个结构是否有谓语动词。)这种结构通常在句子中起到状语或状语从句的作用,如方式、时间、原因、条件等,主要用于书面语。使用动词非谓语形式的独立主格结构可以改变成句模式(从句):独立主格结构加上连词,非限定动词改为谓语动词模式,从而成为从句。
比如:
Today being Sunday, the library isn' t open.图书馆今天星期天不开放。
(原因)改为从句:
As (Since) today is Sunday, the library isn' t open.
比如:
There being no buses,we had to take a taxi. 没有车,我们只能坐出租车。
Because there were no buses, we had to take a taxi.
(时间)改为从句:
After the signal was given, the bus started.
The boy followed that man here,and climbed in,sword in hand.少年和那人一起来到这里,手里拿着剑爬了进来。
The boy followed that man here,and climbed in,and had a sword in his hand.
Weather permitting, we' 11 visit the Great Wall.假如天气允许,我们将参观长城。
If weather permits, we' 11 visit the Great Wall.
The boy followed that man here, and climbed in, sword in hand.男孩和那个男人一起来到这里,手里拿着剑爬了进来。(伴有状语)
上文例句中sword in hand是由名词 介词短语的组成表示伴随的情况。这种独立的主体结构表示伴随的情感,有时可以使用with引出,两者的意思是一样的,with构造更口语,更常见。
She left the office with tears in her eyes.眼里含着泪水,她离开了办公室。
The teacher walked into the classroom, with a ruler under his arm and some books in his hand.老师手里拿着一把尺子,手里拿着几本书,走进教室。
The teacher walked into the classroom. He was holding a ruler under his arm and some books in his hand.
Tian' anmen Square looks magnificent with all the lights on.灯光齐放,天安门广场显得美丽动人。
With the boy leading the way, we found his house with no difficulty.由这*带路,我们毫不费力地找到了他的家。
With him to give us a lead, our team is bound to turn out well.有他给我们带头,我们一定能做好。
