文法副詞子句簡化的分詞構句 (Participial Construction)

 

分詞構句主要是形容詞子句、副詞子句與對等子句簡化而來。其中副詞子句

皆由副詞連接詞所引導,但副詞連接詞有表示時間、原因、條件、讓步與連續等,其種類較多,所以另予單獨說明。而經簡化的分詞構句要如何還原成副詞子句?現在一併敘述如下:

 

1.   表示時間的分詞構句

1)   Before going to office, I would like to read newspaper for half an hour.

      = Before I go to office, I would like to read newspaper for half an hour.

2)   Typing my report, I receive an instant message from MSN.

      = While typing my report, I receive an instant message from MSN.

      = While I am typing my report, I receive an instant message from MSN.

3)   Saying hello to Freda, Dennis held the door open.

      = While saying hello to Freda, Dennis held the door open.

      = While Dennis said hello to Freda, he held the door open.

4)   Writing my report, I receive an instant message of my friend from MSN.

      = While writing my report, I receive an instant message of my friend from MSN.

      = While I am typing my report, I receive an instant message of my friend from MSN.

注意:

1)   當使用到[ before, after ]副詞連接詞時,[ before, after ]不能省略。

 

2.   表示原因的分詞構句

1)   Having read a lot of books, Judith can tell us many stories.

      = Since Judith has read a lot of books, she can tell us many stories.

2)   Not having my lunch at restaurant, I buy a lunchbox every weekday.

      = Because I don’t have my lunch at restaurant, I buy a lunchbox every weekday.

3)   Itching in winter, she will apply some lotion on her body after taking a bath.

      = Since itching in winter, she will apply some lotion on her body after taking a bath.

      = Since she itches in winter, she will apply some lotion on her body after taking a bath.

4)   Having no money left, she went to see her brother to borrow some.

    = Because having no money left, she went to see her brother to borrow some.

= Because she has no money left, she went to see her brother to borrow some.

 

3.   表示條件的分詞構句

1)   Keeping on coming to office late, you will be fired by your boss.

      = If you keep on coming to office late, you will be fired by your boss.

2)   Not taking my advice, you will get trouble in doing this task.

      = If you don’t take my advice, you will get trouble in doing this task.

 

4.   表示讓步的分詞構句

1)   Although I have never been short of money, I will let you know if I need more.

      = Never having been short of money, I will let you know if I need more.

      = Never being short of money, I will let you know if I need more.

2)   Even though James is good at Chinese, he still cannot get the highest grade in the Chinese exam.

      = Being good at Chinese, James still cannot get the highest grade in the Chinese exam.

 

5.   表示連續的分詞構句

1)   Getting up late, her younger sister had brunch after 1:00 p.m.

      = Her younger sister got up late, and she had brunch after 1:00 p.m.

      (對等子句)

2)   Having project review meeting all day, and we went to dinner together in the evening.

      = We had project review meeting all day, and we went to dinner together in the evening. (對等子句)

 

注意:

1)   分詞構句為否定時,要將[ not ][ never ]放在分詞之前。

      a)   Not having my lunch at restaurant, I buy a lunchbox every weekday.

      b)   Never having been short of money, I will let you know if I need more.       

            = Having never been short of money, I will let you know if I need more.

            (若是完成式,可放在having之前或之後。)

      c)   He not being a member of this project team, so I will not invite him to attend the project review meeting.
