什么是独立主格结构
①独立主格结构不是句子,没有真正的主语和谓语,但在逻辑上构成了主谓关系。
独立主格=逻辑主语+逻辑谓语
②独立主格的作用相当于状语从句,表时间、条件、原因、伴随等。
③学习独立主格结构(Absolute Construction)可分两步掌握:
1. 理解结构形式
名词/代词 + 非谓语动词/形容词/副词/介词短语(如:Weather permitting, we'll go hiking.)
2. 明确功能分类
时间/条件:The work done, he went home.
原因/伴随:Hands trembling, she opened the letter.
独立主格结构常见句型格式
1、一般结构
①名词/代词+现在分词

②名词/代词+过去分词

③名词/代词+不定式

⑤名词/代词+副词/形容词
He entered the room, his nose red with cold.他走进房间,鼻子冻得通红。(独立主格结构表伴随)
注意:形容词在独立主格结构中表伴随或对细节起补充作用,名词或代词和形容词之间有逻辑上的主表关系。此结构也可写成his nose being red with cold,此结构相当于“主系表”型,being 是非谓语(系)动词,常可省略,但being的逻辑主语是人称代词时,being不能省略。

客人都到了,她感到很高兴。
