【特別提示】從上面的各種例句中可以看出,獨(dú)立主格結(jié)構(gòu)本身不是一個(gè)完整的句子,它實(shí)際上是一個(gè)含有邏輯主語的某種短語,用來修飾其它一個(gè)句子的。
1. 獨(dú)立主格結(jié)構(gòu)的轉(zhuǎn)換
獨(dú)立主格結(jié)構(gòu)可以根據(jù)其語法作用,進(jìn)行句式轉(zhuǎn)換。例如:The clock striking twelve, I went to bed.
①轉(zhuǎn)換為狀語從句:When the clock was striking twelve, I went to bed.
②也可以轉(zhuǎn)換成一個(gè)并列句:The clock stuck twelve and I went to bed.
2. 獨(dú)立主格結(jié)構(gòu)與冠詞
在“名詞+ 介詞短語”獨(dú)立主格結(jié)構(gòu)中,如果邏輯主語和介詞短語中的名詞都是可數(shù)名詞單數(shù),這些名詞前不要用冠詞,目的為了更加簡(jiǎn)練?! ?/p>
He was standing over there, pipe in mouth. www.yingyuyufa.com
Flag on shoulder, the soldier rushed to the top of the building.
但若與with連用,名詞前則要加冠詞或物主代詞。如:
Then, last night, I followed him here and climbed in, with a sword in his hand.
3. 獨(dú)立主格結(jié)構(gòu)中being 的省略
在下列句子中,being 可以省略,若不省略,則是現(xiàn)在分詞短語?! ?/p>
Summer (being) over, the students returned to school.
His first shot (being) a failure, Tom fired again.
Her face (being) pale with anger, she rose to go away.
