什么叫懸垂分詞
你知道什么叫懸垂分詞嗎?請看看這道題:
__________ the road,a car knocked him down.
A. Crossing B. Crossed C. When he was crossing D. To cross
此題應(yīng)選C。其余均可能被誤選。分析如下:
選項B不對,因為它是過去分詞,其后不應(yīng)有賓語。
選項A,D不對,因為該非謂語動詞的邏輯主語與句子主語不一致——構(gòu)成懸垂分詞。
一般說來,作狀語用的非謂語動詞的邏輯主語應(yīng)與句子主語保持一致,否則便是錯句。比較:
為了通過考試,(他)每分鐘都用來學(xué)習(xí)。
誤:To pass the exam,every minute was spent in studying.
正:To pass the exam,he spent every minute in studying.
信讀了第二次之后,意思就更清楚了。
誤:Reading the letter a second time,the meaning became clearer.
正:Being read a second time,the letter became clearer in meaning.
狗叫得厲害,所以我把它放了出去。
誤:Barking madly,I led the dog out.
正:Barking madly,the dog was let out.
但是,在有些特殊的結(jié)構(gòu)(只有少數(shù)固定結(jié)構(gòu))中,非謂語動詞可以沒有邏輯主語:
Judging from [by] what he said,he was a cheat. 從他說的話來看,他就是個騙子。
