独立主格结构

独立主格结构(Absolute Construction)由两部分组成,前一部分是名词或者代词,后一部分是非谓语动词(动名词、不定式、现在分词、过去分词)或形容词、副词、名词或介词短语。前后两部分具有逻辑主谓关系。


在英语中,谓语只能是动词,不是谓语的动词全部改成非谓语动词。独立主格结构在句中作状语,多用于书面语。 独立主格结构本身不是句子,在句子中作状语,表时间、原因、条件、伴随、目的及状态等。非谓语动词作状语,其逻辑主语须与主句主语保持一致。若不一致,非谓语动词形式须另带主语,从而构成复合结构的形式作状语。这种结构称为"独立结构"。


它的位置相当灵活,可置于主句前、主句末或主句中,常由逗号将其与主句分开。需特别注意的是,独立主格结构与主句之间不能使用任何连接词
Examples


1. 名词(代词)+ 现在分词

The clock striking twelve, I went to bed. (表原因)

These women having produced works of the highest quality, any survey of the 19th century English literature must include them. (表原因)


2. 名词(代词)+ 过去分词

He lay there on his back, his teeth set, his right hand clenched on his breast. (表伴随)

Enough time given, she will surely do the job better. (表条件)


3. 名词(代词)+ 不定式  

Here are the first three volumes, the fourth one to come out next month. (表伴随)  

He proposed a picnic, he himself to pay for the railway tickets and John to provide the food. (表方式)


4. 名词(代词)+ 形容词短语

Her face pale with anger, she rose to go away. (表原因)

I saw a deep pond, the water blue like the sky. (表结果)


5. 名词(代词)+ 介词短语

Then, last night, I followed him here and climbed in, sword in hand. (表方式)

Child in arms, a few women stood there chatting. (表方式)


6. 名词(代词)+ 副词短语

Summer over, the students returned to school. (表原因)


7. 名词(代词)+ 名词短语

His first shot a failure, Tom fired again. (表原因)


8. with复合结构  

“with复合结构”也是独立主格结构的一种,同样十分重要。在句中表示“原因,结果,伴随,方式”等情况。例如:

(1) with + 宾语 + 形容词

The children were listening to the teacher with their eyes wide open. (表伴随)  

(2) with + 宾语 + 介词短语

The old man used to take a walk with a stick in his hand. (表方式)  

(3) with + 宾语 + 副词

The proud girl walked away with her head up. (表方式) 

一般说来,with 复合结构放在句末多表示伴随状况;若放在句首,则多表示“原因”或“条件”,例如:

With her mother away from home, the little girl felt lonely. 由于她妈妈不在家,这个女孩感到很孤单。

With the guide leading the way, I had no difficulty finding their village. 因为向导带路,我没怎么费事就找到了他们的村子。

The children were listening to the teacher with their eyes wide open. (表伴随) 

独立主格结构与冠词

在“名词+ 介词短语”独立主格结构中,如果逻辑主语和介词短语中的名词都是可数名词单数,这些名词前不要用冠词,目的为了更加简练。

He was standing over there, pipe in mouth.

Flag on shoulder, the soldier rushed to the top of the building.

但若与with连用,名词前则要加冠词或物主代词。如:


Then, last night, I followed him here and climbed in, with a sword in his hand.

独立主格结构中being 的省略

在下列句子中,being 可以省略,若不省略,则是现在分词短语。

Summer (being) over, the students returned to school.

His first shot (being) a failure, Tom fired again.


Her face (being) pale with anger, she rose to go away.
