过去分词在句子中所作成分
Part 2
The past participles
(Ⅱ)
表语是用来说明主语的性质、状态、身份或特征的句子成分,位于系动词(如 be 动词、感官动词、become 等)之后,与系动词共同构成谓语,作用是描述主语 “是什么” 或 “怎么样”。
核心结构:主语 + 系动词 + 表语
什么是表语?
常作表语的成分:
1. 名词 / 代词 2. 形容词
3. 介词短语 4. 副词
5. 非谓语动词 6. 从句
过去分词作表语
1. 意义
过去分词作表语时主要用于描述主语所处的状态或感受,其意义具体体现在两方面:一方面可表示被动状态或结果,此时主语处于 “被……” 的状态,由及物动词的过去分词转化而来, ;另一方面可表示情感或心理状态,通常由表示情感的动词(如 interest, surprise 等)的过去分词转化而来,说明主语 “感到……”)
The door is locked. 门被锁上了。(强调状态而非多动作)
She is interested in art. 她对艺术感兴趣。(强调 处于 “感兴趣” 的状态)
过去分词作表语
2. 常见的过去分词作表语的词
许多过去分词已经形容词化,常见的有:
interested(感兴趣的) excited(兴奋的)
tired(疲惫的) surprised(惊讶的)
satisfied(满意的) disappointed(失望的)
confused(困惑的) amazed(惊奇的)
She was surprised by the unexpected gift. 她对这个意外的礼物感到惊讶。
Are you satisfied with your current job 你对现在的工作满意吗?
区分
1. 过去分词作表语与被动语态的区别:
被动语态强调动作的承受,而过去分词作表语强调状态。
被动语态:
The cake was eaten by my sister.
蛋糕被我妹妹吃掉了。—— 强调 “吃” 的动作执行者是妹妹
过去分词作表语:
The cake is eaten.
蛋糕被吃完了。—— 强调蛋糕 “已被吃完” 的状态
区分
2. 过去分词作表语与现在分词作表语的区别
I am confused by the problem.
我被这个问题弄糊涂了。——“confused” 表示 “被困惑” 的被动感受The movie is moving.
这部电影很感人。——“moving” 说明电影 “令人感动” 的性质
分词类型 核心含义 主语特征
过去分词 被动、完成;主语的感受或状态 人(通常)
现在分词 主动、进行;主语的性质或特征 物(通常)或事件
过去分词作状语
1. 意义
过去分词作状语通过在句子中充当状语成分来修饰谓语动词或整个句子,表示时间、原因、条件、让步或伴随状况等逻辑关系。这种用法本质上是用过去分词短语来替代相应的状语从句,使语言表达更加简洁凝练。
从句:When it is seen from space, the Earth looks like a blue marble.
分词短语:Seen from space, the Earth looks like a blue marble.
"Seen from space" 替代 "When it is seen from space"
过去分词作状语
2. 基本特征
过去分词作状语时具有两个显著特点:
1. 逻辑主语必须与主句主语一致
2. 与主语之间存在被动关系
"Seen from the top of the mountain, the city looks magnificent."
(从山顶看,这座城市显得很壮观。)
这里"seen"的逻辑主语是"the city",表示"城市被看"的被动关系。
过去分词作状语
3. 用法
表示时间(相当于时间状语从句)
Asked about the incident, he kept silent.
= When he was asked about the incident, he kept silent.
当被问及这件事时,他保持沉默。
表示原因(相当于原因状语从句)
Exhausted by the long journey, we fell asleep immediately.
= Because wewere exhausted by the long journey, they fell asleep immediately.
(由于长途旅行疲惫不堪,他们立刻就睡着了。)
过去分词作状语
表示条件(相当于条件状语从句)
Given more time, I could have done better.
= If I had been given more time, I could have done better.
如果给我更多时间,我本可以做得更好。
表示让步(相当于让步状语从句)
Criticized by many, the theory was eventually proved correct.
= Although it was criticized by many, the theory was eventually proved correct.
尽管受到许多批评,这个理论最终被证明是正确的。
表示伴随状况(相当于并列句)
He stood there, surrounded by his fans.
= He stood there and was surrounded by his fans.
(他站在那里,被粉丝们围着。)
过去分词作状语
4. 在英语中,有一类特殊的过去分词(短语)作状语时,并不表示被动或完成的动作,而是表示主语所处的状态。这类过去分词源于"系动词+表语"结构,在句中作状语时主要起描述性作用。
典型特征
不表示被动动作,而是描述状态
常由表示心理状态或情感变化的动词转化而来
可被very等程度副词修饰
过去分词作状语
常见动词举例
interested(感兴趣的) excited(兴奋的) disappointed(失望的)
surprised(惊讶的) satisfied(满意的) tired(疲惫的)
worried(担心的)
Excited by the news, the children couldn't fall asleep.
因为消息而兴奋,孩子们睡不着觉。("excited"描述孩子们的状态)
Tired after a long day's work, he went straight to bed.
工作一整天很疲惫,他直接上床睡觉了。("tired"说明睡觉的原因)
过去分词作状语
5. 特殊结构
独立主格结构
当分词有自己独立的主语时,要用独立主格结构:
All things considered, the plan is workable.
综合考虑,这个计划是可行的。
但是使用时需要注意,要确保分词与主句主语逻辑一致,避免悬垂分词错误:
[错误] Seen from the hill, we found the view breathtaking.
[正确] Seen from the hill, the view was breathtaking.
Summary
句法位置:表语位于系动词后,状语位置灵活
修饰对象:表语说明主语,状语说明谓语或全句
动态性:表语表静态特征,状语表动态关系
转换可能:状语可扩展为状语从句,表语则不能
共同点: 都具有形容词性特征 都与主语存在被动关系
都能使表达更简洁 都常见于书面语体
