现在分词和过去分词的主要区别在于:现在分词表主动意义;过去分词表被动意义。 现在分词较过去分词形式灵活,除部分能接宾语之外,可有被动形式(being done)和完成式(having done, having been done), 当然being done和having been done也可理解成过去分词变形为进行式 1. 现在分词作定语 现在分词常接在名词之后作定语,经常可与定语从句替换 如:the man sitting behind me, 相当于:the man who is sitting behind me the kids running about in the garden, 相当于: the kids who are running about in the garden 单个的分词作定语可放在被修饰词之前,如:the sleeping baby, a running nose 改错题中若出现名词之后直接接动词,且之间是主谓关系,但不是句子主谓语,此处必定有错,可改为现在分词作定语 例题: (1) The boiled point of any liquid is determined by the pressure of the surrounding gases. 应改为:boiling. 解释:沸点的英文表达应该是boiling point. 类似的表达如: boiling water(沸水); boiled表示已完成的状态, 如boiled water意为白开水, 即已沸腾过的水 (2) The slide rule uses sliding scales with marks ---- numbers and their logarithms. (A) representing (B) represented (C) are represented (D) they are representing 答案:A 解释:空格前是句子的主谓成分,空格处需要marks的定语,C, D可先排除;B是被动式,无法接宾语numbers; 因此A正确,是现在分词作定语 2. 现在分词作状语 分词还可在句中作状语,可放在句首、句中或句尾。现在分词作状语时,通常都表示主语正在进行的动作/伴随动作或者表示原因。 1.现在分词短语可以作时间状语,相当于when, while, as soon as等所引导的从句 如:Hearing the news, he couldn’t help crying. = When he heard the news, he couldn’t help crying. 2.现在分词短语也可以表示原因,代替由since, as等所引导的从句 如:Not knowing what to do about the situation, she turned to him for help. =Since she didn’t know what to do about the situation, she turned to him for help. Being so poor in those days, we couldn’t afford to go to school. =As we were so poor in those days, we couldn’t afford to go to school. 3.如果分词表示的动作发生在主句动作之前,那么此时分词就需要用完成形式 如:Having finished the work, she went to the park. =After she had finished the work, she went to the park. 特别注意:分词状语的逻辑主语和句子的主语要持一致 如: Seeing from the moutain, the ocean is emrald green. 此句是一个错误的句子, 因为根据分词状语的逻辑主语和句子的主语要持一致的原则, seeing的逻辑主语也应该是the ocean, 而the ocean是不能自己seeing的, 应改为Seen from the mountain. 例题: (1) Snow aids farmers by keeping heat in the lower ground levels, thereby ---- from freezing. (A) to save the seeds (B) saving the seeds (C) which saves the seeds (D) the seeds saved 答案:B 解释:thereby一词习惯上接现在分词作句子的结果状语,只有B符合要求
