分詞構句文法

Standing by your side, I feel safer.  站在你身旁,我覺得安全多了。

Protected by the policeman, the little girl felt safer.  (因為被警察保護著,小女孩覺得安全多了。) 

1.  分詞構句:描寫同一個主詞所發生不同動作之間的關係。

2.目的:是將原本兩個主詞相同的子句合併簡化。

3.分詞構句有兩種情況:(A)放在句首的分詞構句(B)放在句尾的分詞構句

4. 簡化的多為以下副詞子句:

(1).「時間」(while, after, before, when, as,as soon as,Since, until)

(2).「原因」(because, since, as, now that)

(3).「條件」(if, unless,only if,whether or not,even if,in case,in the event that)

(4).「讓步」(although, though, even though)

◎分詞構句中,附屬連接詞不可省略者:如unless (除非), once (一旦), as (如同), even if/though (即使), as if (彷彿/好像), until (直到) 等。

5. 簡化步驟:

(1).確認兩子句主詞相同

(2).去掉引導副詞子句的連接詞 

(3).再去掉副詞子句的主詞,將其動詞

A.改為現在分詞(主動時)V-ing

B.保留過去分詞(被動時)p.p.

◎否定時,將「not 」或「never」放在 Ving 或 p.p. 分詞前。

1.When I stand by your side, I feel safer.=Standing by your side, I feel safer.

a.兩句主詞皆是I (同一人)

b.去掉連接詞when

c.去掉when 之後的主詞I

d. Stand 這個動作I這個主詞可以主動執行該動作,因此判斷為主動改成V-ing

 2. Because the little girl was protected by the policeman, she felt safer.

= Protected by the policeman, the little girl felt safer.

a.判斷the little girl與she 為同一人

b.將Because去掉

c.將the little girl 去掉 

d. protect (女孩為被保護對象,因此為被動態)→protected

注意:

1. 副詞子句若時態為完成式,就改成Having pp.

After he had finished his work, he went to bed.

=Having finished his work, he went to bed.

a.判斷完成工作的he與上床睡覺的he 為同一人

b.將After去掉

c.將he 去掉

d.had finished 為完成式,因此改成Having +pp.→Having finished (工作要被完成)→被動態p.p.

2. 分詞構句的否定,在前面加not即可。

Because she didn’t know what to do, the little girl began to cry.(不知道該做什麼,小女孩開始哭泣。)

= Not knowing what to do, the little girl began to cry.

a.判斷前後句子為同一人

b.將Because 去掉

c.將she 去掉

d. didn’t 為否定加入not 。主詞She能主動做出know這個動作,因此為主動態V-ing.→Not knnowing

3. 副詞子句若時態為被動完成式,則須將子句的動詞簡化成[ having + been + p.p. ]或[ p.p. ]。

He had been sent to prison for three months because of committing burglary, and he was caught again when he stole a woman’s purse three days ago.(因為犯下竊盜罪他過去已經被送去關過三個月了,他三天前再次被抓,他偷了一名女人的皮包。)

= Having been sent to prison for three months because of committing burglary, and he was caught again when he stole a woman’s purse three days ago.

= Sent to prison for three months because of committing burglary, and he was caught again when he stole a woman’s purse three days ago.


對等連接詞簡化

同一個主詞做兩個動作,後面動詞可改為分詞Ving/Vpp

S1 + V1 … and (or/but)S2+V2…=S1+V1…, V2ing/ V2pp…

Jane sat down and listened to their talk. = Jane sat down, _______ to their talk. (listening)

The officer hurried to the hall and was followed by three guards.

= The officer hurried to the hall,  ______  by three guards. (followed)

His father died, leaving nothing but a lot of debts.(她父親死了,什麼也沒留下,只留下許多債務。)

=His father died, and he left nothing but a lot of debts.

The girl sat under the tree,  surrounded by many children. (那女孩坐在樹下,許多孩子包圍著她。)

=The girl sat under the tree, and she was surrounded by many children.


關係子句(形容詞子句)簡化

關係代名詞當主格時可簡化成分詞片語Ving/Vpp
S1+V1+先行詞+who/which/that +V… →N Ving/Vpp…

I have a friend who lives in Paris.
= I have a friend ____________ in Paris. (living)

What is the language which is spoken in New Zealand

=What is the language ___________ in New Zealand? (spoken)

副詞子句簡化

前後子句主詞相同,連接詞中的主詞省略,動詞改為分詞Ving/Vpp

1.「時間(when, while, as, after, before)」 

2.「原因(because, since, as)」
3.「條件(if, unless)」                 

4.「讓步(although, though)」

簡化時,先去掉引導副詞子句的連接詞,而原本連接的兩子句主詞須相同,再來去掉副詞子句的主詞,並將其動詞改為現在分詞(表主動、進行)或只保留過去分詞(表被動)。                                                                                      V-ing(主動/進行)

連接詞+S1+V1…, S2+V2…→連接詞 +     Vp.p. (被動)     …, S 2+ V2.

                                                                    (Being) Adj.

獨立分詞構句

在分詞構句中,若分詞構句的主詞和主要子句的主詞不一致時,兩個子句的主詞都要保留,此稱為獨立分詞構句。

獨立分詞構句— S1 + (V1-ing/V1-pp)…, S2 + V2…  (或前後互換)   

口訣:省略連接詞,動詞變分詞:主動 → ing、被動 → p.p.!(S1 =/= S2主詞不同)

When the school was over, the students started to go home.

→The school being over, the students started to go home.

If the weather permits, we will have a picnic tomorrow.

→Weather permitting, we will have a picnic tomorrow.

a.從屬子句的主詞是the weather 主要子句主詞為we,前後主詞不同,因此都必須保留

b.動詞改成分詞: 主動改為permitting

c.在省略連接詞仍能清楚表達語意下,省略連接詞IF

Because he was absent, nothing could be done.

→He being absent, nothing could be done.

◎狀態with:與分詞連用,表同時附帶的狀態。

基本結構:(With) + O + V-ing/V-p.p.  …, S + V…  (with 可省略而形成獨立分詞構句)

She sat there with her eyes closed.

懸虛分詞(dangling participle):是指分詞片語作為修飾語時,懸盪於句子中,無法清楚地標示出所要描述的對象。為避免此情況,分詞片語原則上都要靠近名詞,若是距離太遠與主詞脫節會造成句意不清。

While reading the newspaper, the cat jumped on the table. (X)

貓咪不會閱讀報紙,前後主詞不一致,會導致句意模糊

因此改為

While I reading the newspaper, the cat jumped on the table.

分詞結構慣用語

不受主詞一致的規則限制,因其主詞是由不特定的人或一般皆知的人,如:we.they.people,everyone,anyone等,主詞可以省略,雖然句子前後的主詞不一致,但文法仍正確。
