1、独立主格结构独立主格结构(Independent Genitive)有两部分组成,前一部份是名词或者代词,后一部分是非谓语动词(不定式、动名词和分词)或形容词、副词、或介词短语。前后两部分具有逻辑主谓关系。独立主格结构在句中做状语,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,表示时间、原因、条件、伴随、目的等。详细概述非谓语动词作状语,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”。其中,非谓语动词主动用V-ing,被动用V-ed。 非谓语动词及其短语前面带有逻辑主语,逻辑主语的代词又是主格,故常称为“独
2、立主格”。“独立结构”在句中起状语作用,相当于状语从句,表示时间、原因、条件、方式或伴随等情况。 功能独立主格结构主要用于描绘性文字中,其作用相当于一个状语从句,常用来表示时间、原因、条件、行为方式或伴随情况等。例如: 表示时间The meeting being over, all of us went home. 开完会后我们都回家了。 Her work done, she sat down for a cup of tea. 她干完了活,坐下来喝茶。 表示条件The condition being favourable, he may succeed. 若条件有利,他或许能成功。 表示原因

4、t of all.) 用法独立主格结构主要表示谓语动词发生的时间、原因、条件或伴随情况等,相当于一个状语从句或并列句。 用作时间状语The work done(=After the work had been done), we went home. 工作完成后,我们就回家了。 用作条件状语Weather permitting(=If weather permits), they will go on an outing to the beach tomorrow. 如果天气允许的话,他们将在明天组织一次海滨小游。 用作原因状语An important lecture to be given
5、tomorrow(=As an important lecture will be given tomorrow), the professor has to stay up late into the night. 因为明天要发表一个重要的演讲,教授不得不熬夜到很晚。 用作伴随状语He was lying on the grass,his hands crossed under his head(=and his hands were crossed under his head).他躺在草地上,两手交叉枕在脑后。 表示补充说明We redoubled our efforts, each m
6、an working like two. 我们加倍努力,一个人干两个人的活。 *注:独立主格结构表示时间、条件或原因时,相当于一个状语从句,一般放在句首,表示原因时还可放在句末;表伴随状况或补充说明时,相当于一个并列句,通常放于句末。 形式1一般独立主格形式:与主句逻辑关系松散形式为: n. + -ed/-ing形式; n. + 不定式 ; n. + 介词短语; n. + 形容词; n. + 副词. ; 名词/主格代词+现在分词名词/主格代词与现在分词之间是主谓关系。如: The girl staring at him(= As the girl stared at him), he didn

8、es were broken), she couldnt see the words on the blackboard. 由于眼镜摔坏了,她看不见黑板上的字。 名词/主格代词+不定式名词/主格代词与不定式之间是主谓关系,且强调的是一次具体性的动作。如: He is going to make a model plane, some old parts to help. 借助于一些旧零件,他要做一个飞机模型。 They said good-bye to each other, one to go home, the other to go to the bookstore. 他们道别后,一个回

17、下课后,学生很快离开了课室。 2. 不能省略being (having been)的情形:在下列两种情况下,独立主格结构中的being(或having been)不能省略。 (1) 独立主格的逻辑主语是代词时。如:It being Sunday, we went to church.因为是星期天,我们去了做礼拜。 (2)在There being名词的结构中。如:There being no bus, we had to go home on foot.因为没有公共汽车,所以我们不得不步行回家。 3. 在“名词(或代词)介词短语”构成的独立主格结构中,一般不用形容词性物主代词和冠词。如: Mis

19、t playing chess with his little grandson every afternoon. A. its B. whose C. which D. that 【分析】此题很容易误选B,许多同学会认为句中逗号后是一个非限制性的定语从句,whose 在定语从句中用作定语修饰其后的名词 owner。此分析从表面上看,似乎天衣无缝,但实质上是错的,原因是空格后根本不是一个句子,因为没有谓语。尽管句中有两个动词,但它们都是非谓语动词。也许有的同学认为,其中的 seated 可视为谓语动词,但是注意,seat 用作动词时,它总是及物的,其后要么接宾语,要么它就用于被动语态,所以若在
20、 seated 前加上助动词 is,则可以选择B(当然若将 seated 改为sitting,也应选择A)。所以此题最佳答案选A。 请再看一个类似的例子: (1) He wrote a lot of novels, many of _ translated into foreign languages. A. it B. them C.which D. that (2) He wrote a lot of novels, many of _ were translated into foreign languages.A. it B. them C. which D. that 第(1)应选B
21、,而不能选C,是因为句中的 translated 是过去分词(非谓语动词),若选C,则该从句无谓语;第(2)应选C,该句是典型的非限制性定语从句,因为该句修饰的是前面的novels,即指物,所以只能用which做of的宾语,故本题选C。 再请看下面一例: (3) He wrote a lot of novels, and many of _ were translated into foreign languages. A. it B. them C. which D. that 【分析】此题与上面的第(2)题不同,两句间多了一个并列连词and,说明这是一个并列句,故应选B,则不能选C。 请做
22、做以下三题(答案均为B): (1) There I met several people, two of _ being foreigners.(独立主格结构) A. which B. them C. whom D. that (2) There I met several people, two of _ were foreigners. (非限制性定语从句) A. which B. whom C. who D. that (3) There I met several people, and two of _ were foreigners.(两个句子) A. which B. them
23、C. whom D. that英语句子结构英语句子分为简单句(simple sentence)和多重句(multiple sentence)。所谓的简单句就是一个句子中只包含一个主谓结构的句子。多重句包含两种基本情况,一种是两个或者两个以上的简单分句形成并列关系,这样的句子叫做并列句(compound sentence);另一种是两个或两个以上的简单分句构成主从关系,这样的句子叫做复杂句(complex sentence)。下面我们分别对这三种情况加以分析。一. 简单句: 英语句子看上去纷繁庞杂,但仔细观察不外乎五个基本句式。这五个基本句式可以演变出多种复杂的英语句子。换言之,绝大多数英语句子
24、都是由这五个基本句式生成的。这五个基本句式如下:S十V主谓结构S十V十P主系表结构S十V十O主谓宾结构S十V十O1十O2 主谓双宾结构S十V十O十C 主谓宾补结构说明:S主语;V谓语;P表语;O宾语;O1间接宾语;O2直接宾语;C宾语补足语五个基本句式详细解释如下:1. S十V句式在此句式中,V是不及物动词,又叫自动词(vi)。例如:He runs quickly他跑得快。They listened carefully他们听得很仔细。He suffered from cold and hunger他挨冻受饿。China belongs to the third world country中国属
25、于第三世界国家。The gas has given out煤气用完了。My ink has run out我的钢笔水用完了。2. S十V十P句式在此句式中,V是系动词(link v),常见的系动词有:look,seem,appear,sound,feel,taste,smell,grow,get,fall ill/asleep,stand/sit still,become,turn等。例如: He is older than he looks他比看上去要老。He seen interested in the book他似乎对这本书感兴趣。The story sounds interesting
26、这个故事听起来有趣。The desk feels hard书桌摸起来很硬。The cake tastes nice饼尝起来很香。The flowers smell sweet and nice花闻起来香甜。You have grown taller than before你长得比以前高了。He has suddenly fallen ill他突然病倒了。He stood quite still他静静地站看。He becomes a teacher when he grew up他长大后当了教师。He could never turn traitor to his country他永远不会背叛他
27、的祖国。注意:有些动词同时也是及物动词,可构成SVO句式,例如:He looked me up and down他上下打量我。He reached his hand to feel the elephant他伸出手来摸象。They are tasting the fish他们在品尝鱼。They grow rice in their home town他们在家乡种水稻。Hes got a chair to sit on他有椅子坐。Please turn the sentence into English请把这个句于泽成英语。3S十V十O句式在此句式中,V是及物动词(vt),因此有宾语。例如:I
28、saw a film yesterday我昨天看了一部电影。 Have you read the story? 你读过这个故事吗?They found their home easily他们很容易找到他们的家。They built a house last year他们去年建了一所房子。Theyve put up a factory in the village他们在村里建了一座工厂。They have taken good care of the children这些孩子他们照看得很好。You should look after your children well你应该好好照看你的孩子。4
29、S十V十O1十O2句式在此句式中,V是带有双宾语的及物动词。常见的须带双宾语的动词有give,ask,bring,offer,send,pay,lend,show,tell,buy,get;rob,warn等。例如:He gave me a book/a book to me他给我一本书。He brought me a pen/a pen to me他带给我一枝钢笔。He offered me his seat/his seat to me他把座位让给我。注意下边动词改写后介词的变化:Mother bought me a book/a book for me. 妈妈给我买了一本书。He got
30、 me a chair/a chair for me他给我弄了一把椅子。Please do me a favor/a favor for me请帮我一下。He asked me a question/a question of me他问我个问题。注意,下边动词只有一种说法:They robbed the old man of his money他们抢了老人的钱。Hes warned me of the danger. 他警告我注意危险。The doctor has cured him of his disease医生治好了他的病。We must rid the house of the rat
31、s我们必须赶走屋里的老鼠。They deprived him of his right to speak他们剥夺了他说话的权利。5S十V十O十C句式在此句式中,V是有宾语补足语的及物动词。常带宾语补足语的词有形容词、副词、介词短语、名词、不定式、现在分词、过去分词常见的可接宾语补足语的动词很多,哪些动词可接哪几种形式作宾补,须根据动词的惯用法而定,不能统而概论。请看下面的例子。They made the girl angry他们使这个女孩生气了。They found her happy that day他们发现那天她很高兴。I found him out我发现他出去了。I saw him in
32、我见他在家。They saw a foot mark in the sand他们发现沙地上有脚印。They named the boy Charlie他们给这个男孩起名为查理。I saw him come in and go out我见他进来又出去。They felt the car moving fast他们感到汽车行驶得很快。I heard the glass broken just now我刚才听到玻璃碎了。He found the doctor of study closed to him他发现研究所的大门对他关闭了。2、并列句(compound sentence)英语的并列句一般情况
33、下引不起巨大的阅读障碍,因为在分句之间往往有固定的连接词说明前后分句的关系。这样的连接词有以and为代表的表示意义延伸的并列连词、以or为代表的表示选择概念的并列连词、以but为代表的表示转折的并列连词和表示原因的for四个类型。第一种包括and, not only but (also ), neither ( nor) 。第二种包括or , either or ;第三种包括but , while , whereas等。第四种只有一个for。对此我们分别举一个例句说明问题:(1)As is reported, a trade agreement was signed and a cultura
34、l exchange was arranged.(2)Not only is he himself interested in the subject but all his students are beginning to show an interest in it.(3)Dr. Fisher neither loves the environment, nor is he accustomed to the weather.(4)The children can go with us, or they can stay at home.(5)You can either go it b
35、y yourself, or you can ask someone else to do it.(6)The young man has often been praised, but he is never conceited.(7)While our country has plenty of oil, theirs has none.(8)They want to live in town, whereas we would rather live in the country.(9)They apparently have a good drainage system, for th
36、e streets never seem to flood after a downpour.有必要说明的是以上的关联词并非只能有一个含义,比如and就可以表示意义增补、动作先后、转折或让步、条件和结果等等一些用法。这里笔者只是提醒大家辨别从句,所以这方面的语言知识请参考相关的语法书。另外我们还应该把并列分句和并列结构(coordinate construction)区分开来。并列结构是由并列连词或者其他并列手段例如标点符号连接起来的语法结构序列,它包括并列分句,也包括并列的词或者词组。3、 从属句构成从属关系的复杂句包括名词性分句(Nominal Clauses)(可以作主语、宾语、同位语、
37、主语补语)、关系分句(Relative Clauses)、状语分句(Adverbial Clauses)。对于它们的连接词,在相应的语法书上都不难找到,这里就不再多讲了。需要提醒读者的是,在判定句子的类型之后,最主要的工作就是分析简单句的成分,找到主句的谓语,真正抓住句子的纲领。下面请作练习二,首先辨认多重分句的类型,然后找出主句和从属分句的谓语。Laboratory scientists accustomed to noticing subtle changes in the properties of substances they are investigating are doubtl
38、ess better than you or I at certain sorts of observations.这里的主语是Laboratory scientists,但是后面跟了一个过去分词定语,其中分词中的介词又跟了一个-ing形式,-ing形式后又接了一个宾语和一个带有定语的状语。本句的谓语是are doubtless better than。4.英语的信息末端原则的应用在英语中,信息含量大的部分往往出现在句子的末尾。这个特点一方面造就了一些非正常语序的句子,另一方面可以给我们提供线索,帮助我们正确理解英语中的长句。我们知道,一个信息发出者要表达丰富的信息,离开从句是寸步难行的。可是
39、不管句子结构多么复杂,基本的句型还是只有五种。下面我们可以通过逐一的分析,探讨英语难句形成的规律。对于SV结构,由于英语句子一般是末尾的信息含量大,所以这种句子往往难以构成阅读困难,至多是主语位置有定语从句或者同位语从句。例如:(例子)。SVO结构的难点在于主语和宾语都可以连接定语从句;SVC结构也难以构成较复杂的句子;SVOC结构如果出现长句,那么往往是补语被调整到宾语的前面;SVOO结构也要注意哪个是直接宾语,哪个是间接宾语。SVOC:People often let their fear of speaking up and appearing more dull-witted than
40、 their peers interfere with their understanding.Derived from theoretical considerations and confirmed by observations, the velocity-distance law has made secure the concept of an expanding universe.下面请做练习,辨认主句的基本类型。1.
