九、独立主格

非谓语动词做状语时,它的逻辑主语应该是句子的主语。但有时非谓语动词带有自己的主语,从而在结构上与主语不发生关系,我们称之为独立主格结构。其实,所谓独立主格结构也并非真正独立,它还是一种从属的结构。独立主格结构的构成:

名词(代词)+v-ing/v-ed

名词(代词)+形容词;

名词(代词)+副词;

名词(代词)+to v

名词(代词)+介词短语构成。 

1、非谓语动词的独立主格结构

1)to v “独立主格结构

逻辑主语+to v”结构中,to v短语和它前面的名词或代词存在着逻辑上的主谓关系。这种结构也可用一个从句或并列分句来表达。
  His mother to come tonight, he is busy preparing the dinner.
  = As his mother is to come tonight, he is busy preparing the dinner.

他母亲今晚要来,他正在忙着准备饭菜。
  -Will you go to the concert tonight? 你今晚去听音乐会吗?
  -Sorry. So many exercise-books to check, I really can't afford any time.
  = Because I shall check so many exercise-books tonight, I really can't afford any time.

对不起,有这么多的做业要批,我真的抽不出时间。

The four of us agreed on a division of labour, each to translate a quarter of the book.

=The four of us agreed on a division of labour and each is to translate a quarter of the book.

我们四人同意分工干,每人翻译全书的四分之一。
  Many trees, flowers, and grass to be planted, our newly-built school will look even more beautiful.
  = If many trees, flowers, and grass are planted, our newly-built school will look even more beautiful.

种上许多的树,花和草后,我们新建的学校将看上去更美。
  

2)v-ing形式独立主格结构

v-ing形式做状语时,其逻辑主语一般应与句子的主语保持一致。如果v-ing形式拥有了自己的主语,与整个句子的主语不一致时,我们就把"逻辑主语+v-ing形式"称为独立主格结构
  Being ill, he went home. (= As he was very ill, he went home.)

(being ill的主语就是句子的主语)由于生病,他回家了。
  Seating himself at the desk, he began to read a magazine.
  = When he had seated himself at the desk, he began to read a magazine.

(seating himself at the desk的主语就是句子的主语) 在课桌旁坐好后,他开始看杂志。
  (1)、表示时间的v-ing形式做独立主格结构

Everyone being ready, the teacher began his class.

(相当于一个时间状语从句When everyone was ready)

每个人都准备好后,老师开始上课。

  Spring coming on, the country is very green.

  (相当于一个时间状语从句when spring comes)春天来了,田野一片翠绿。      

 

(2)、表示原因的v-ing形式做独立主格结构
  The boy leading the way, we had no trouble finding the strange cave.
  (相当于一个原因状语从句Because the boy led the way)

由那个男孩带路,我们没有困难就找到了那奇怪的洞。
  Many eyes watching him, he felt a bit nervous.
  (相当于一个原因状语从句As many eyes were watching him)

许多眼睛看着他,他感到有点儿紧张。

 

(3)、表示条件的v-ing形式做独立主格结构

  Time permitting, we will have a picnic next week.

(相当于一个条件状语从句If time permits)

时间允许的话,我们下星期将进行一次野炊。

  My health allowing, I will work far into the night.

(相当于一个条件状语从句If my health allows)

我的健康许可的话,我愿工作到深夜。

 

(4)、表示方式的v-ing形式做独立主格结构
  The students are walking in the school happily, each wearing a card in front of his chest.
  (相当于一个并列分句and each wears a card in front of his chest)
   
学生们快乐地在学校里走着,每个人胸前都戴着一张卡。

  The boy lay on the grass, his eyes looking at the sky.
  (相当于一个并列分句and his eyes were looking at the sky)

男孩躺在草地上,眼睛看着天空。
  

3)v-ed形式独立主格结构

 与"逻辑主语 + v-ing形式"一样,如果v-ed形式的逻辑主语和句子的主语不一致,就需要用v-ed形式的独立主格结构。
  The book written in simple English, English beginners are able to read it.
  = As the book is written in simple English, English beginners are able to read it.

该书是用简单英语写的,英语初学者也能看懂。
  The workers worked still harder, their living conditions greatly improved.
  
= As their living conditions were greatly improved, the workers worked still harder.
   
由于工作们的生活条件大大提高,他们工作得更起劲了。

  He was listening attentively in class, his eyes fixed on the blackboard.
  = He was listening attentively in class, and his eyes were fixed on the blackboard.

他上课专心听讲,眼睛紧盯着黑板。
  The task completed, he had two months' leave.
  = When the task had been completed, he had two months' leave.

任务完成以后,他休了两个月的假。
  

比较:to v表示动作没有发生或即将发生;v-ed形式表示动作已经结束;v-ing形式往往表示动作正在进行。
  The manager looks worried, many things to settle.
  (事情还没有处理,而且是由经理本人来处理,用to settle)

经理看上去很着急,有这么多的事情要处理。
  The manager looks relaxed, many things settled.
  (事情已经处理好了,有动词-ed形式settled表示动作已经结束)

许多事情已经处理好了,经理看上去很轻松。
  The food being cooked, the boy was watching TV.
  (两个动作同时进行)小孩一边做饭,一边看电视。

  The food cooked, the boy went to bed.
  (两个动作有先后,饭已做好,小孩才去睡觉的)饭做好了,小孩去睡了。

 

2、无动词独立主格结构

"逻辑主语+being+其他"是独立主格结构中的"逻辑主语+v-ing形式"的另一种形式。在这种结构中,being往往可以被省去,这种省去being的结构,称之为无动词独立主格结构

1)逻辑主语+名词

The students entered for the competition, the youngest a boy of 12.
  (the youngesta boy of 12 之间省去了
being)

  The brave man fought the wolves, a stick his only weapon.
  (a stickhis only weapon之间省略了being)

那勇士与狼群博斗,木棍是他的惟一武器。
  

注意:独立主格结构中的being在下列两种情况下一般不能省略,一是在"There being+名词"结构中,二是在逻辑主语是代词的情况下。
    There being no bus, we had to walk home.
由于没有公共汽车,我们只好走回家。
    There being no further business to discuss, we all went home.

   = The music teacher stood at the door, a violin in his hand.

3、介词’with/without+宾语+宾语补足语"独立主格结构

4、独立主格结构的句法作用

独立主格结构在句中除了能充当原因状语、时间状语、条件状语和伴随状语外,还能做定语。在形式上,独立主格结构可位于句首、句中或句尾,并通常用逗号与主句隔开。

1)、做状语:独立主格结构做状语,其功能相当于一个状语从句或并列分句。
