知识拓展
此句中Covering作伴随状语,表示“覆盖”。
动词-ing形式的用法主要包含两个类别:一是相当于形容词的语法功能,作定语、表语和补语;二是相当于副词的用法,作状语。
一、相当于形容词的功能
1.动词-ing形式作定语的用法
作定语的动词-ing形式是对被修饰词进行性质状态或动作上描述的限定。
2.动词-ing形式作表语的用法
作表语的动词-ing形式实际上相当于一个普通的形容词,只不过这个“形容词”是由动词-ing形式构成的。
3.动词-ing形式作补语的用法
在see、hear、watch、feel、observe、have、notice等动词后,既可以用动词-ing形式作宾语补足语,也可以用不定式作宾语补足语,但两者的含义是有差别的:用动词-ing形式表示动作正在发生(即处于发生的过程中,还没有结束);用省略to的不定式表示动作发生了(即动作全过程结束了)。
二、相当于副词的功能
相当于副词的动词-ing形式可以作时间状语、条件状语、原因状语、让步状语、伴随状语以及结果状语。
Seeing his mother enter, the boy pretended to study.
当男孩看到母亲进来时,他就假装在学习。
He dropped the glass, breaking it into pieces.

知识点10 动词-ed形式作状语
(P53)Assigned by the emperor, the ambassador Zhang Qian journeyed from Chang'an to Central Asia, seeking to build bridges between the Han Dynasty and the Western Regions.
张骞受皇帝委派,从长安出使中亚,试图在汉朝和西域之间建立桥梁。
知识拓展
此句中Assigned是动词-ed形式作状语,journeyed是该句的谓语,seeking是动词-ing形式作伴随状语。
动词-ed形式在句首可以用作条件状语、伴随状语、时间状语、让步状语和原因状语。其中动词-ed形式作条件状语和伴随状语时只有一般体,即只用done的形式;而动词-ed形式作时间状语、让步状语和原因状语时可能有一般体和完成体的形式,即done的形式和having done的形式。

美篇呈现
Peter Pan (Excerpt)
The last sound Peter heard before he was quite alone was the mermaids① retiring
one by one to their bedchambers under the sea.He was too far away to hear their doors shut; but every door in the coral caves where they live rings a tiny bell when it opens or closes (as in all the nicest houses on the mainland),and he heard the bells.
Steadily the waters rose till they were nibbling at his feet; and to pass the time until they made their final gulp,he watched the only thing on the lagoon.He thought it was a piece of floating paper,perhaps part of the kite,and wondered idly② how long it would take to drift ashore.
Presently he noticed as an odd thing that it was undoubtedly out upon the lagoon with some definite purpose,for it was fighting the tide,and sometimes winning; and when it won,Peter,always sympathetic③ to the weaker side,could not help clapping; it was such a gallant piece of paper.
It was not really a piece of paper; it was the Never bird,making desperate efforts to reach Peter on the nest.By working her wings,in a way she had learned since the nest fell into the water,she was able to some extent to guide her strange craft,but by the time Peter recognised her she was very exhausted.She had come to save him,to give him her nest,though there were eggs in it.I rather wonder at the bird,for though he had been nice to her,he had also sometimes tormented④her.I can only suppose that,like Mrs Darling and the rest of them,she was melted because he had all his first teeth.
She called out to him what she had come for,and he called out to her what she was doing there; but of course neither of them understood the other's language.In fanciful⑤stories people can talk to the birds freely,and I wish for the moment I could pretend that this were such a story,and say that Peter replied intelligently to the Never bird; but truth is best,and I want to tell you only what really happened.Well,not only could they not understand each other,but they forgot their manners.
“I—want—you—to—get—into—the—nest,” the bird called,speaking as slowly and distinctly⑥ as possible,“and—then—you—can—drift—ashore,but—I—am—too—tired—to—bring—it—any—nearer—so—you—must—try—to—swim—to—it.”
“What are you quacking about ”Peter answered.“Why don't you let the nest drift as usual ”
“I—want—you—” the bird said,and repeated it all over.
Then Peter tried slow and distinct.
“What—are—you—quacking—about ” and so on.
The Never bird became irritated; they have very short tempers.
“You dunderheaded little jay!” she screamed.“Why don't you do as I tell you ”
Peter felt that she was calling him names,and at a venture he retorted hotly:
“So are you!”
Then, rather curiously, they both snapped out the same remark:
“Shut up!”
“Shut up!”
Nevertheless, the bird was determined to save him if she could,and with one last mighty effort she propelled⑦the nest against the rock.Then up she flew; deserting her eggs,so as to make her meaning clear.
Then, at last, he understood,and clutched the nest and waved his thanks to the bird as she fluttered overhead.It was not to receive his thanks,however,that she hung there in the sky; it was not even to watch him get into the nest; it was to see what he did with her eggs.
There were two large white eggs,and Peter lifted them up and reflected.The bird covered her face with her wings,so as not to see the last of them; but she could not help peeping between the feathers.
I forget whether I have told you that there was a stave on the rock,driven into it by some buccaneers of long ago to mark the site of buried treasure.The children had discovered the glittering hoard,and when in a mischievous mood used to fling showers of moidores,diamonds,pearls and pieces of eight to the gulls,who pounced upon them for food,and then flew away,raging at the scurvy trick that had been played upon them.The stave was still there,and on it Starkey had hung his hat,a deep tarpaulin,watertight,with a broad brim.Peter put the eggs into this hat and set it on the lagoon.It floated beautifully.
The Never bird saw at once what he was up to,and screamed her admiration of him; and,alas,Peter crowed his agreement with her.Then he got into the nest,reared the stave in it as a mast,and hung up his shirt for a sail.At the same moment the bird fluttered down upon the hat and once more sat snugly on her eggs.She drifted in one direction,and he was borne off in another,both cheering.
Of course, when Peter landed, he beached his barque in a place where the bird would easily find it; but the hat was such a great success that she abandoned the nest.It drifted about till it went to pieces,and often Starkey came to the shore of the lagoon,and with many bitter feelings watched the bird sitting on his hat.As we shall not see her again,it may be worth mentioning here that all Never birds now build in that shape of nest,with a broad brim on which the youngsters take an airing.
Great were the rejoicings⑧ when Peter reached the home under the ground almost as soon as Wendy,who had been carried hither and thither by the kite.Every boy had adventures to tell; but perhaps the biggest adventure of all was that they were several hours late for bed.This so inflated them that they did various dodgy things to get staying up still longer,such as demanding bandages; but Wendy,though glorying in having them all home again safe and sound,was scandalised⑨ by the lateness of the hour,and cried,“To bed,to bed,” in a voice that had to be obeyed.Next day,however,she was awfully⑩tender,and gave out bandages to every one,and they played till bed-time limping about and carrying their arms in slings.
彼得潘(节选)
(礁湖上)只剩下彼得一个人了,在这之前,他最后听到的声音是人鱼挨个回到海底寝室时的响动。因为距离太远,他听不到关门的声音。不过,她们居住的珊瑚窟的门上都有小铃铛,开门关门时都会发出叮当声(就像英国本土最讲究的房子那样),这铃声彼得听到了。
湖水渐渐涨上来了,正一小口一小口地吞噬彼得的脚;在湖水把他整个吞没以前,为了消磨时间,他凝视着漂浮在礁湖上唯一的东西。他想那大概是一张漂浮着的纸片,或许是那风筝的一部分。他闲得无聊,估算着那东西漂到岸边需要多少时间。
不久,他发现这东西有点异乎寻常,它来到湖上肯定是带有某种目的的,因为,它正在逆着潮水而行,有时战胜了潮水。每次它战胜时,总是同情弱者的彼得就忍不住鼓起掌来。多么勇敢的一张纸片。
其实,那并不真的是一张纸片,那是永无鸟。她正坐在巢上拼命地努力向彼得划来。自打巢落到水里以后,她就学会了用翅膀划水,这样居然也能勉强行驶她那只奇异的小船了。可是,在彼得认出她来时,她已经非常疲惫了。她是来救彼得的,她要把巢让给他,尽管巢里头有鸟蛋。我对这只鸟感到很诧异,因为彼得虽然待她好,可有时也会折磨她。我只能猜想,这鸟大概也像达林太太等人一样,看到彼得一口乳牙未换,就动了慈悲心吧。
那鸟向彼得大声说她过来是为了什么,彼得也大声问那鸟,她在那儿干什么。不过,当然他们彼此都听不懂对方的话。在幻想故事里,人可以和鸟自由交谈。我真愿设想,在这个故事里,事情正是这样:彼得可以和永无鸟随意交流。但最好还是实话实说,我只想说实际上发生的事情。那就是,他们不但彼此听不懂,连礼貌都忘记了。
“我——要——你——到——巢——里——来,”那鸟叫道,尽量说得慢些、清楚些,“那——样,你——就——可——以——漂——到——岸——上——去,可——是——我——太——累——了, 不——能——再——靠——近——你,你——得——想——办——法——自——己——游——过——来。”
“你叽叽喳喳地叫些什么呀 ”彼得回答说,“你为什么不像往常一样,让你的巢漂过来 ”
“我——要——你——”鸟说,又重复了一遍刚才的话。
接着,彼得也又慢又清楚地说:
“你——叽——叽——喳——喳——地——叫——些——什——么——呀 ”等等。
永无鸟烦躁起来了,这种鸟的脾气是很急的。
“你这个呆头呆脑、啰里啰唆的小傻瓜!”她尖声叫道,“你为什么不照我的吩咐去做 ”
彼得感觉到了她是在骂自己,于是他气冲冲地回敬了她一句:
“骂你自己呢!”
然后,说也奇怪,他们竟互相对骂起同一句话来:
“闭嘴!”
“闭嘴!”
不过,这鸟决心尽全力救彼得,她做了最后一次巨大的努力,终于使巢靠上了岩石。然后她飞了起来,丢下了她的蛋,为的是让彼得明白她的用意。
彼得终于明白了,他抓住了鸟巢,向空中飞着的鸟挥手表示谢意。永无鸟在空中飞来飞去不是为了接受他的谢意,也不是要看他怎样爬进巢里,她是要看看他怎样对待她的蛋。
巢里有两颗大的白色鸟蛋,彼得把它们捧了起来,心里盘算着。那鸟用翅膀捂住了脸,不敢看鸟蛋的下场,可她还是忍不住从羽毛缝里窥视。
我不记得告诉过你们没有,岩石上有一块木板,是很久以前海盗钉在那儿,用来标志埋藏财宝的位置的。孩子们发现了这堆闪闪发光的宝藏,有时淘气劲儿上来,就抓起一把把的金币、钻石、珍珠抛向海鸥;海鸥以为这些是食物,扑过来啄食,它们对这种发生在自己身上的卑鄙的恶作剧非常恼怒,气得飞走了。木板还在那儿,斯塔奇把他的帽子挂在了上面,那是一顶宽边的、高高的防水油布帽。彼得把鸟蛋放在帽子里,把帽子放在水上,它就平平稳稳地漂起来了。
永无鸟一下子就看清了彼得的妙策,它高声欢叫,向他表示钦佩;彼得也应声欢呼起来。然后他跨进巢去,把木板竖起来当桅杆,又把他的衬衣挂在上面当帆。同时,那鸟飞落到帽子上,又安安逸逸地孵起蛋来。鸟向这边漂去,彼得向那边漂去,皆大欢喜。
彼得上岸以后,自然是把他曾坐过的鸟巢放在一处鸟容易看见的地方。可是,那顶帽子太可心了,那鸟竟放弃了这个巢。巢漂来漂去,直到完全散架;后来,斯塔奇每次来到湖上,总看见那鸟孵在他的帽子上,心里好不恼怒。由于我们以后不会再见到永无鸟了,在这里值得一提:所有的永无鸟现在都把巢筑成这个样子,有一道宽边,幼雏可以在那上面溜达散心。
彼得回到地下的家时,被风筝拽着东飘西荡的温迪,也差不多刚到家。大家全都兴高采烈,每个孩子都有一段冒险故事可讲;可是最大的一件事,或许是他们已经晚睡了好几个小时。这件事使他们非常得意,他们磨磨蹭蹭,像要求包扎伤口什么的,好更加推迟上床的时间。温迪呢,虽然看到他们一个个平平安安地回了家,满心欢喜,可是,时间实在晚得不像话了,于是她喊道:“全都给我上床去!”声调使人不能不服从。不过到了第二天,她又变得异常温柔,给每个孩子都分发了绷带;于是他们有的跛着脚,有的吊着胳臂,一直玩到上床睡觉。

丝绸之路是一个古代贸易路线网络，从东亚一直延伸到地中海，覆盖了遥远的距离和令人惊叹的各种景观。
知识拓展
此句中Covering作伴随状语,表示“覆盖”。
动词-ing形式的用法主要包含两个类别:一是相当于形容词的语法功能，作定语、表语和补语；二是相当于副词的用法，作状语。
一、相当于形容词的功能
1.动词-ing形式作定语的用法
作定语的动词-ing形式是对被修饰词进行性质状态或动作上描述的限定。
2.动词-ing形式作表语的用法
作表语的动词-ing形式实际上相当于一个普通的形容词,只不过这个“形容词”是由动词-ing形式构成的。
3.动词-ing形式作补语的用法
在see、hear、watch、feel、observe、have、notice等动词后,既可以用动词-ing形式作宾语补足语,也可以用不定式作宾语补足语,但两者的含义是有差别的:用动词-ing形式表示动作正在发生（即处于发生的过程中,还没有结束）；用省略to的不定式表示动作发生了（即动作全过程结束了）。
二、相当于副词的功能
相当于副词的动词-ing形式可以作时间状语、条件状语、原因状语、让步状语、伴随状语以及结果状语。
Seeing his mother enter, the boy pretended to study.
当男孩看到母亲进来时,他就假装在学习。
He dropped the glass, breaking it into pieces.

张骞受皇帝委派，从长安出使中亚,试图在汉朝和西域之间建立桥梁。
知识拓展
此句中Assigned是动词-ed形式作状语,journeyed是该句的谓语,seeking是动词-ing形式作伴随状语。
动词-ed形式在句首可以用作条件状语、伴随状语、时间状语、让步状语和原因状语。其中动词-ed形式作条件状语和伴随状语时只有一般体,即只用done的形式；而动词-ed形式作时间状语、让步状语和原因状语时可能有一般体和完成体的形式,即done的形式和having done的形式。

美篇呈现
Peter Pan （Excerpt）
The last sound Peter heard before he was quite alone was the mermaids① retiring one by one to their bedchambers under the sea. He was too far away to hear their doors shut； but every door in the coral caves where they live rings a tiny bell when it opens or closes （as in all the nicest houses on the mainland），and he heard the bells．
Steadily the waters rose till they were nibbling at his feet； and to pass the time until they made their final gulp，he watched the only thing on the lagoon. He thought it was a piece of floating paper，perhaps part of the kite，and wondered idly② how long it would take to drift ashore．
Presently he noticed as an odd thing that it was undoubtedly out upon the lagoon with some definite purpose，for it was fighting the tide，and sometimes
winning； and when it won，Peter，always sympathetic③ to the weaker side，could not help clapping； it was such a gallant piece of paper．
It was not really a piece of paper； it was the Never bird，making desperate efforts to reach Peter on the nest. By working her wings，in a way she had learned since the nest fell into the water，she was able to some extent to guide her strange craft，but by the time Peter recognised her she was very exhausted. She had come to save him，to give him her nest，though there were eggs in it. I rather wonder at the bird，for though he had been nice to her，he had also sometimes tormented④her. I can only suppose that，like Mrs Darling and the rest of them，she was melted because he had all his first teeth．
She called out to him what she had come for，and he called out to her what she was doing there； but of course neither of them understood the other's language. In fanciful⑤stories people can talk to the birds freely，and I wish for the moment I could pretend that this were such a story，and say that Peter replied intelligently to the Never bird； but truth is best，and I want to tell you only what really happened. Well，not only could they not understand each other，but they forgot their manners．
“I—want—you—to—get—into—the—nest，” the bird called，speaking as slowly and distinctly⑥ as possible，“and—then—you—can—drift—ashore，but—I—am—too—tired—to—bring—it—any—nearer—so—you—must—try—to—swim—to—it.”
“What are you quacking about？”Peter answered.“Why don't you let the nest drift as usual？”
“I—want—you—” the bird said，and repeated it all over．
Then Peter tried slow and distinct．
“What—are—you—quacking—about？” and so on．
The Never bird became irritated； they have very short tempers．
“You dunderheaded little jay！” she screamed.“Why don't you do as I tell you？”
Peter felt that she was calling him names，and at a venture he retorted hotly：
“So are you！”
Then, rather curiously, they both snapped out the same remark：
“Shut up！”
“Shut up！”
Nevertheless, the bird was determined to save him if she could，and with one last mighty effort she propelled⑦ the nest against the rock. Then up she flew； deserting her eggs，so as to make her meaning clear．
Then, at last, he understood，and clutched the nest and waved his thanks to the bird as she fluttered overhead. It was not to receive his thanks，however，that she hung there in the sky； it was not even to watch him get into the nest； it was to see what he did with her eggs．
There were two large white eggs，and Peter lifted them up and reflected. The bird covered her face with her wings，so as not to see the last of them； but she could not help peeping between the feathers．
I forget whether I have told you that there was a stave on the rock，driven into it by some buccaneers of long ago to mark the site of buried treasure. The children had discovered the glittering hoard，and when in a mischievous mood used to fling showers of moidores，diamonds，pearls and pieces of eight to the gulls，who pounced upon them for food，and then flew away，raging at the scurvy trick that had been played upon them. The stave was still there，and on it Starkey had hung
his hat，a deep tarpaulin，watertight，with a broad brim. Peter put the eggs into this hat and set it on the lagoon. It floated beautifully．
The Never bird saw at once what he was up to，and screamed her admiration of him； and，alas，Peter crowed his agreement with her. Then he got into the nest，reared the stave in it as a mast，and hung up his shirt for a sail. At the same moment the bird fluttered down upon the hat and once more sat snugly on her eggs. She drifted in one direction，and he was borne off in another，both cheering．
Of course, when Peter landed, he beached his barquein a place where the bird would easily find it； but the hat was such a great success that she abandoned the nest. It drifted about till it went to pieces，and often Starkey came to the shore of the lagoon，and with many bitter feelings watched the bird sitting on his hat. As we shall not see her again，it may be worth mentioning here that all Never birds now build in that shape of nest，with a broad brim on which the youngsters take an airing．
Great were the rejoicings⑧ when Peter reached the home under the ground almost as soon as Wendy，who had been carried hither and thither by the kite. Every boy had adventures to tell； but perhaps the biggest adventure of all was that they were several hours late for bed. This so inflated them that they did various dodgy things to get staying up still longer，such as demanding bandages； but Wendy，though glorying in having them all home again safe and sound，was scandalised⑨ by the lateness of the hour，and cried，“To bed，to bed，” in a voice that had to be obeyed. Next day，however，she was awfully⑩tender，and gave out bandages to every one，and they played till bed-time limping about and carrying their arms in slings．
彼得潘（节选）
（礁湖上）只剩下彼得一个人了，在这之前，他最后听到的声音是人鱼挨个回到海底寝室时的响动。因为距离太远，他听不到关门的声音。不过，她们居住的珊瑚窟的门上都有小铃铛，开门关门时都会发出叮当声（就像英国本土最讲究的房子那样），这铃声彼得听到了。
湖水渐渐涨上来了，正一小口一小口地吞噬彼得的脚；在湖水把他整个吞没以前，为了消磨时间，他凝视着漂浮在礁湖上唯一的东西。他想那大概是一张漂浮着的纸片，或许是那风筝的一部分。他闲得无聊，估算着那东西漂到岸边需要多少时间。
不久，他发现这东西有点异乎寻常，它来到湖上肯定是带有某种目的的，因为，它正在逆着潮水而行，有时战胜了潮水。每次它战胜时，总是同情弱者的彼得就忍不住鼓起掌来。多么勇敢的一张纸片。
其实，那并不真的是一张纸片，那是永无鸟。她正坐在巢上拼命地努力向彼得划来。自打巢落到水里以后，她就学会了用翅膀划水，这样居然也能勉强行驶她那只奇异的小船了。可是，在彼得认出她来时，她已经非常疲惫了。她是来救彼得的，她要把巢让给他，尽管巢里头有鸟蛋。我对这只鸟感到很诧异，因为彼得虽然待她好，可有时也会折磨她。我只能猜想，这鸟大概也像达林太太等人一样，看到彼得一口乳牙未换，就动了慈悲心吧。
那鸟向彼得大声说她过来是为了什么，彼得也大声问那鸟，她在那儿干什么。不过，当然他们彼此都听不懂对方的话。在幻想故事里，人可以和鸟自由交谈。我真愿设想，在这个故事里，事情正是这样：彼得可以和永无鸟随意交流。但最好还是实话实说，我只想说实际上发生的事情。那就是，他们不但彼此听不懂，连礼貌都忘记了。
“我——要——你——到——巢——里——来，”那鸟叫道，尽量说得慢些、清楚些，“那——样，你——就——可——以——漂——到——岸——上——去,可——是——我——太——累——了， 不——能——再——靠——近——你，你——得——想——办——法——自——己——游——过——来。”
“你叽叽喳喳地叫些什么呀？”彼得回答说，“你为什么不像往常一样，让你的巢漂过来？”
“我——要——你——”鸟说，又重复了一遍刚才的话。
接着，彼得也又慢又清楚地说：
“你——叽——叽——喳——喳——地——叫——些——什——么——呀？”等等。
永无鸟烦躁起来了，这种鸟的脾气是很急的。
“你这个呆头呆脑、啰里啰唆的小傻瓜！”她尖声叫道，“你为什么不照我的吩咐去做？”
彼得感觉到了她是在骂自己，于是他气冲冲地回敬了她一句：
“骂你自己呢！”
然后，说也奇怪，他们竟互相对骂起同一句话来：
“闭嘴！”
“闭嘴！”
不过，这鸟决心尽全力救彼得，她做了最后一次巨大的努力，终于使巢靠上了岩石。然后她飞了起来，丢下了她的蛋，为的是让彼得明白她的用意。
彼得终于明白了，他抓住了鸟巢，向空中飞着的鸟挥手表示谢意。永无鸟在空中飞来飞去不是为了接受他的谢意，也不是要看他怎样爬进巢里，她是要看看他怎样对待她的蛋。
巢里有两颗大的白色鸟蛋，彼得把它们捧了起来，心里盘算着。那鸟用翅膀捂住了脸，不敢看鸟蛋的下场，可她还是忍不住从羽毛缝里窥视。
我不记得告诉过你们没有，岩石上有一块木板，是很久以前海盗钉在那儿，用来标志埋藏财宝的位置的。孩子们发现了这堆闪闪发光的宝藏，有时淘气劲儿上来，就抓起一把把的金币、钻石、珍珠抛向海鸥；海鸥以为这些是食物，扑过来啄食，它们对这种发生在自己身上的卑鄙的恶作剧非常恼怒，气得飞走了。木板还在那儿，斯塔奇把他的帽子挂在了上面，那是一顶宽边的、高高的防水油布帽。彼得把鸟蛋放在帽子里，把帽子放在水上，它就平平稳稳地漂起来了。
永无鸟一下子就看清了彼得的妙策，它高声欢叫，向他表示钦佩；彼得也应声欢呼起来。然后他跨进巢去，把木板竖起来当桅杆，又把他的衬衣挂在上面当帆。同时，那鸟飞落到帽子上，又安安逸逸地孵起蛋来。鸟向这边漂去，彼得向那边漂去，皆大欢喜。
彼得上岸以后，自然是把他曾坐过的鸟巢放在一处鸟容易看见的地方。可是，那顶帽子太可心了，那鸟竟放弃了这个巢。巢漂来漂去，直到完全散架；后来，斯塔奇每次来到湖上，总看见那鸟孵在他的帽子上，心里好不恼怒。由于我们以后不会再见到永无鸟了，在这里值得一提：所有的永无鸟现在都把巢筑成这个样子，有一道宽边，幼雏可以在那上面溜达散心。
彼得回到地下的家时，被风筝拽着东飘西荡的温迪，也差不多刚到家。大家全都兴高采烈，每个孩子都有一段冒险故事可讲；可是最大的一件事，或许是他们已经晚睡了好几个小时。这件事使他们非常得意，他们磨磨蹭蹭，像要求包扎伤口什么的，好更加推迟上床的时间。温迪呢，虽然看到他们一个个平平安安地回了家，满心欢喜，可是，时间实在晚得不像话了，于是她喊道：“全都给我上床去！”声调使人不能不服从。不过到了第二天，她又变得异常温柔，给每个孩子都分发了绷带；于是他们有的跛着脚，有的吊着胳臂，一直玩到上床睡觉。
