二、过去分词作表语时与被动语态的区别
过去分词作表语时, 强调主语所处的状态; 而动词的被动语态表示主语是动作的承受者, 强调动作。
*The cup is broken.
杯子碎了。(系表结构, 表状态)
*The cup was broken by Tom.
杯子是汤姆打碎的。(被动语态, 表动作)

三、过去分词与动词-ing形式作表语的区别
英语中有很多与感觉有关的及物动词, 其过去分词含有被动意义, 即“人被引起某种感觉的”, 多用来指人、人的声音或表情等; 动词-ing形式表示主动意义, 即“令人有某种感觉的”, 多用来修饰物。
常用的这类词有:
*We were surprised at what he said at the meeting.
我们对他在会上讲的话感到惊讶。
*His words were discouraging, which made many people discouraged. 他的话令人泄气, 使得很多人灰心丧气。
用所给词的适当形式填空。

(3)What he did is encouraging, so I’m encouraged by what he did. (encourage)
(4)The audience were all moved to tears by the moving film. (move)
Ⅱ. 过去分词作状语
一、过去分词作状语的类型
过去分词作状语, 可以表示时间、让步、条件、原因、方式和结果等, 相当于一个状语从句。其逻辑主语为主句的主语, 且与主句主语之间构成逻辑上的被动关系。
1. 作时间状语。
相当于时间状语从句。可在过去分词前加上连词“when, while, until”等, 使其时间意义更明确。
*(2018·北京高考)Ordinary soap, used correctly, can deal with bacteria effectively.
=When it is used correctly, ordinary soap can deal with bacteria effectively.
普通肥皂被正确使用的时候, 也是可以有效除菌的。
2. 作原因状语。
相当于原因状语从句或并列句。

= Because John was absorbed in painting, he didn’t notice evening approaching.
= John was absorbed in painting, so he didn’t notice evening approaching.
由于专心画画, 约翰没有注意到夜幕正在降临。

5. 作方式、伴随状语。
相当于and连接的并列句。
*She accepted the gift, deeply moved.
= She accepted the gift, and she was deeply moved.
她接受了礼物, 被深深地感动了。
过去分词(短语)作状语表状态
值得注意的是, 有些过去分词(短语)因来源于系表结构, 作状语时不强调被动而重在描述主语的状态。这样的过去分词(短语)常见的有: lost (迷路); seated (坐); hidden (躲); lost/absorbed in (沉溺于); dressed in (穿着); tired of (厌烦)等。
*Lost in thought, he didn’t hear the bell.
由于陷入沉思之中, 他没有听到铃声。
(1)语法填空

二、过去分词作状语时的位置
过去分词作条件、原因及时间状语时, 通常放在句首; 作伴随、结果状语时, 通常放在句末; 作方式状语时, 一般放在句末, 有时也放在句首; 作让步状语时, 一般放在句首, 有时也放在句末。
*Told that his mother was ill, Li Lei hurried home quickly. (原因状语)得知母亲生病了, 李雷迅速赶回了家。
*The old man walked into the room, supported by his son. (方式状语)老人在儿子的搀扶下走进了房间。
三、过去分词的独立结构作状语
过去分词作状语时, 有时在分词前加上自己的逻辑主语, 这种带有自身逻辑主语的过去分词被称为过去分词的独立结构。过去分词的独立结构在句中作状语时, 通常可表示时间、原因、条件等。
*Much time spent sitting at a desk, office workers are generally troubled by health problems.
很多时间都坐在办公桌旁, 办公室职员一般都受到健康问题的困扰。
用独立主格结构作状语改写句子。
(1)After the lecture was given, a lively question-and-answer session followed.
→The lecture given, a lively question-and-answer session followed.
(2)The factory produced many famous cars, none of which were shipped to foreign countries.
→The factory produced many famous cars, none of them shipped to foreign countries.
(3)Because extra money was given to the poor, he felt very happy.
→Extra money given to the poor, he felt very happy.
四、过去分词与动词-ing形式作状语的区别
过去分词与句子的主语之间存在逻辑上的动宾关系, 即表示被动, 往往表示完成; 动词-ing形式与句子的主语之间存在逻辑上的主谓关系, 即表示主动, 一般表示动作正在进行。
*Used for a long time, the book looks old. (动宾关系)
由于用了很长时间, 这本书看上去陈旧。
*Using the book, I find it very useful. (主谓关系)
在使用这本书时, 我发现它很有用。
【巧学助记】 分词作状语记忆口诀
分词作状语, 主语是问题。
前后两动作, 共用一主语。
主语找出后, 再来判关系。
主动用-ing, 被动用-ed。
分词作状语误区警示
无论是动词-ing形式还是过去分词, 其逻辑主语必须和句子的主语一致。如果不一致, 则必须用状语从句、独立主格结构等其他表达形式。
If caught, the police will punish the thief. (×)
If caught, the thief will be punished by the police. (√)
If the thief is caught, the police will punish him. (√)

Harry Potter and the Sorcerer’s Stone (excerpt)
Mr and Mrs Dursley, of number four, Privet Drive, were proud to say that they were perfectly normal, thank you very much. They were the last people you’d expect to be involved in anything strange or mysterious, because they just didn’t hold with such nonsense.
Mr Dursley was the director of a firm called Grunnings, which made drills. He was a big, beefy man with hardly any neck, although he did have a very large mustache. Mrs Dursley was thin and blonde and had nearly twice the usual amount of neck, which came in very useful as she spent so much of her time craning over garden fences, spying on the neighbors. The Dursleys had a small son called Dudley and in their opinion there was no finer boy anywhere.
The Dursleys had everything they wanted, but they also had a secret, and their greatest fear was that somebody would discover it. They didn’t think they could bear it if anyone found out about the Potters. Mrs Potter was Mrs Dursley’s sister, but they hadn’t met for several years; in fact, Mrs Dursley pretended she didn’t have a sister, because her sister and her good-for-nothing husband were as unDursleyish as it was possible to be. The Dursleys shuddered to think what the neighbors would say if the Potters arrived in the street. The Dursleys knew that the Potters had a small son, too, but they had never even seen him. This boy was another good reason for keeping the Potters away; they didn’t want Dudley mixing with a child like that.
When Mr and Mrs Dursley woke up on the dull, gray Tuesday our story starts. There was nothing about the cloudy sky outside to suggest that strange and mysterious things would soon be happening all over the country. Mr Dursley hummed as he picked out his most boring tie for work, and Mrs Dursley gossiped away happily as she wrestled a screaming Dudley into his high chair. None of them noticed a large, tawny owl flutter past the window.
At half past eight, Mr Dursley picked up his briefcase, pecked Mrs Dursley on the cheek, and tried to kiss Dudley good-bye but missed, because Dudley was now having a tantrum and throwing his cereal at the walls.
“Little tyke, ” chortled Mr Dursley as he left the house. He got into his car and backed out of number four’s drive.
It was on the corner of the street that he noticed the first sign of something peculiar — a cat reading a map. For a second, Mr Dursley didn’t realize what he had seen — then he jerked his head around to look again. There was a tabby cat standing on the corner of Privet Drive, but there wasn’t a map in sight. What could he have been thinking of It must have been a trick of the light. Mr Dursley blinked and stared at the cat. It stared back. As Mr Dursley drove around the corner and up the road, he watched the cat in his mirror. It was now reading the sign that said Privet Drive—no, looking at the sign; cats couldn’t read maps or signs. Mr Dursley gave himself a little shake and put the cat out of his mind. As he drove toward town he thought of nothing except a large order of drills he was hoping to get that day.

译文:
《哈利·波特与魔法石》(节选)
住在女贞路四号的德思礼夫妇, 总是骄傲地宣称他们是十分正常的人, 拜托拜托了。他们绝不会卷入任何奇怪或神秘的事情, 因为他们对此总是嗤之以鼻。
德思礼先生是一家叫作格朗宁的钻机工厂的经理。他非常肥壮、结实, 几乎胖得没有脖子, 但却有一把大胡子。德思礼夫人则很瘦, 一头金发。她的脖子有常人的两倍那么长, 这使得她整天伸长脖子透过花园围栏去偷窥邻居家的动静变得非常容易。德思礼夫妇有个儿子叫达力。在他们眼中, 这世界上再没有比达力更棒的男孩了。
德思礼一家几乎有他们想要的一切东西。但是他们也有一个秘密, 而且他们最大的担心就是有一天别人会发现这个秘密。如果有人知道关于波特一家的事, 他们会受不了的。波特夫人是德思礼夫人的妹妹, 但是她们已经有很多年没有见面了。事实上, 德思礼夫人假装她从来没有什么妹妹, 因为她的妹妹和那不中用的妹夫没有一丝一毫德思礼家族的风范。一想到波特一家的到来会招致邻居的议论, 德思礼一家就会浑身发抖。德思礼一家知道波特夫妇也有一个儿子, 只是未曾谋面。这个小男孩也成了德思礼一家避开波特一家的好借口, 因为他们不希望达力与这种小孩混在一起。
当德思礼夫妇在灰暗阴沉的星期二早晨醒来时, 我们的故事便开始了。外面阴云密布的天空并没有丝毫迹象预示这个国家即将发生离奇古怪的事情。德思礼先生一边哼着小曲一边挑了一条他最难看的领带准备去上班, 德思礼夫人则一边愉快地叨念着一边把尖叫的达力塞进高椅子里。谁也没有注意到这时有一只巨大的褐色的猫头鹰从窗外掠过。
八点半时, 德思礼先生拿起他的公文包, 他在德思礼夫人的面颊上吻了一下算是告别。他本来要在达力脸上也亲一口的, 但是因为达力正在发脾气并且把麦片往墙上扔, 便只好作罢。
“小淘气! ”德思礼先生哈哈大笑地走出门口钻进他的车, 倒着车驶出了四号车道。
当他驶到街的拐角处时, 他发现了第一件不寻常的事情——一只猫在看地图。开始时德思礼先生并没有意识到自己看到了什么。等他猛地转过头去看时, 只见那只花斑猫还蹲在那里, 可是地图却没有了。他到底在想些什么 很可能是光线使他产生了错觉吧。德思礼先生眨了眨眼, 又瞪了那只猫一眼。那只猫回瞪了他一眼。正当德思礼先生驶进拐角准备上路时, 他又在后视镜里看了一眼那只猫。现在那只猫正在读着“女贞路”的路牌——不, 它只是朝路牌看而已, 猫是不可能会读地图或路牌的。德思礼先生浑身一抖, 想极力摆脱关于那只猫的任何想法。在接下来的路程里, 他想的全都是关于他希望那天得到一大笔钻机的订单之类的事情。

Traveling Light
I was doubling over the load ① on my shoulders
Was a weight I carried with me every day
Crossing miles of frustrations and rivers of raging
Picking up stones I found along the way
I staggered and I stumbled down pathways of trouble
I was hauling those souvenirs of misery
And ② with each step taken my back was breaking
Till I found the one who took it all from me
Down by the riverside(Down by the riverside)
I laid my burdens down
Now I’m traveling light
My spirit lifted high
(I found my freedom now)
I found my ③freedom now
And I’m traveling light
Through the darkest alleys and loneliest valleys
I was dragging those heavy chains of doubt and fear
Then with the one word spoken the locks were broken
Now he’s leading me to places where there are no tears
Down by the riverside(Down by the riverside)
I laid my burdens down
Now I’m traveling light
My spirit lifted high
I found my freedom now
I found my freedom now

歌曲译文:
《轻装前行》
曾经在我肩头有千钧重担, 让我不堪重负
每天我都觉得沉重不堪难以解脱
穿过满路荆棘挫折, 趟过无数狂怒激流
不忘一路俯拾寻找卵石
我一路蹒跚, 坎坷前行
走过这条烦恼不断的旅途
所有痛苦不幸的回忆让我步履蹒跚
每一步都仿佛将要压弯我的脊梁
直到遇到他, 我如释重负
漫步河畔(漫步河畔)
我卸下自身重负
如今我将轻装前行
我志气昂扬
(如今的我终于自由)
如今的我终于自由
我将轻装前行
走过晦暗无光的街巷, 穿越幽暗深邃的幽谷
所有不安和恐惧化作枷锁让我踉跄难行
你一句简单的言语便破除了我全部枷锁
如今他正引领着我前往那永不伤心落泪的天堂
漫步河畔(漫步河畔)
我卸下自身重负
如今我将轻装前行
我志气昂扬
(如今的我终于自由)
如今的我终于自由
我将轻装前行
我卸下自身重负
如今我将轻装前行
我志气昂扬
如今的我终于自由
现在我轻装前行
漫步河畔(漫步河畔)
我卸下自身重负
如今我轻装前行
我志气昂扬
如今的我终于自由
我将轻装前行
漫步河畔
我卸下自身重负
如今我将轻装前行
我志气昂扬
如今的我终于自由
我将轻装前行
(轻装前行 轻装前行)
如今的我终于自由
