新概念英语第三册七大招数之五:独立主格结构
纵观当今英语培训界,众象丛生,如同一个诺大的江湖,充斥着各路武林高手,各种武林秘籍。在平日教学中,我常常把新概念比作金庸笔下的“九阳神功”,她不像“九阴真经”那样狠毒,练者易走火入魔;也不像乾坤大魔移那样艰涩高深,难以掌握。她是一套内功心法,既可使内力大增,更可快速上手各路招数,防御力无可匹敌。新概念三册属于中上层,里面掩藏着非常重要的七大招数,掌握后便可打通任督二脉,武力大增。招数五: 独立主格结构
独立主格也是英语学习的一大难点,让许多英语学习者为之挠头,很多学习英语多年的学生至今听到独立主格四个字也是一头雾水。其实独立主格又叫做独立分词,我们在招数四中讲到的分词作状语时,分词的主语和主句中的主语是一致的,而在独立主格相当于一个带有自己主语的状语从句,就是在分词前直接加上它自己的主语就可以了,当然,除了“名词+分词”这种形式外,还有“名词+形容词/副词/不定式/介词短语”等形式,在前面有时会加上“with”表示伴随或者原因。
第6课: when a large car, with its headlights on and its horn blaring, roared
down the arcade. (这里的on和blaring逻辑主语分别是headlights和horn)
第34课:the box was full of crockery, much of it broken. (这里的broken逻辑主语是much
of it)
第36课: a novelist would bring his story to a conclusion by presenting his
readers with a series of coincidences -- most of them wildly improbable.
(这里的形容词wildly improbable逻辑主语是most of them)
第48课:The village seemed deserted, the only sign of life being an
ugly-looking black goat on a short length of rope tied to a tree in a field
nearby.(这里是用的be动词的现在分词形式,逻辑主语是the only sign of life being)
第58课:Then, her composure regained, she was ready to set off with the
porter's assistance to search for nay intruders who might still be lurking in
her flat.(这里本应该是the composure was
regained,改成独立主格结构,regain在这里要采用过去分词形式,逻辑主语是composure)
第60课: The girl, tears streaming down her face, begged to be allowed to slip
into the guard's van.(streaming的逻辑主语是tears)
