Step 2: 语法自主探究
过去分词作表语
1.过去分词可放在连系动词be, get, feel, remain, seem, look, become等之后作表语，表示主语所处的状态
常见的这种过去分词有:be interested, be surprised, be astonished, be amazed, be moved, be exhausted, be worried, be devoted, be pleased, be inspired, be encouraged, be excited, be delighted, be satisfied, be scared, be inspired, be encouraged, be excited…
Tom was ___________ (astonish) to see a snake moving across the floor.
汤姆很惊讶地看到一条蛇正爬过地板。
2.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 library is now ___________ (close).(状态)
图书馆现在关闭了。
The cup was ___________ (break) by my little sister yesterday.(动作)
昨天我妹妹把杯子打碎了。
3.感觉类及物动词的现在分词与过去分词作表语的区别
过去分词作表语多表示人自身的感受或事物自身的状态，常译作“感到……的”；现在分词多表示事物具有的特性，常译作“令人……的”。
His words were ___________ (discourage), which made many people discouraged.
他的话令人泄气，使得很多人灰心丧气。
过去分词作状语
1.过去分词作时间状语
过去分词作时间状语时，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。
Looked at from a distance, the painting seems much more beautiful.
_______________________________________________________
当从远处看时，这幅画似乎更美了。
2.过去分词作原因状语
过去分词作原因状语时，可转换为由since, because或as引导的原因状语从句,这类状语多放在句子的前半部分。
Worried about the exam, I was unsettled in these days.
_______________________________________________________
由于担心考试，我这几天感到不安。
3.过去分词作条件状语
过去分词作条件状语时，可转换为if, once或unless等引导的条件状语从句。
Grown in rich soil, these seeds can grow fast.
_______________________________________________________
如果种在肥沃的土壤里，这些种子能长得很快。
4.过去分词作让步状语
过去分词作让步状语时，相当于一个以though/although引导的让步状语从句。
Encouraged by his parents, he still has no confidence in overcoming the difficulties.
_______________________________________________________
尽管受到了父母的鼓励，他仍然没有信心克服困难。
5.过去分词作方式/伴随状语
过去分词作方式或伴随状语时，通常不能转换为状语从句，但可用并列分句代替。
The patient got off the bed, supported by the nurse.
_______________________________________________________
那个病人在护士的搀扶下下了床。
过去分词与现在分词作状语的区别
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；现在分词与句子的主语之间存在逻辑上的主谓关系，即表示主动。
___________ (use) for a long time, the book looks old.
___________ (use) the book, I find it very useful.
