非谓语动词逻辑主语的那些“坑”

 湖南衡阳县人 2017-07-14

非谓语动词是指在句子中不做谓语的动词,常见的有四种形式:动名词、不定式、现在分词和过去分词。逻辑主语就是非谓语动词所表示的动作的执行者或承受者。

例如:

◆ He admitted taking the money. 他承认(他)拿了那笔钱。

He 是句子主语,admitted 是谓语,taking是非谓语动词,这一动作的发出者是he, 所以非谓语动词taking的逻辑主语就是he。

◆Finishing his work, he went to bed immediately. 完成工作后,他立即上床睡觉了。

非谓语动词finishing的逻辑主语是句子的主语he。

◆Feeling tired, I went to bed early. 我感到累,很早就睡了。

现在分词短语feeling tired的意思“感到累了”,动作的发出者是句子的主语I,现在分词语feeling tired的逻辑主语与句子主语一致。

◆Taken in time, the medicine will be quite effective. 及时吃,这药会很有效的。

过去分词短语taken in time的意思是“被按时服用”(注意过去分词含有被动意味),其逻辑主语是句子的主语the medicine。

如果分词的逻辑主语与句子主语不一致,就可能造成错误。下面我们来分析下容易掉进“坑”里的句子。一定要仔细哦,没准你也掉进去过呢。比如:

◆Finding her car stolen, a policeman was asked to help.

诊断:句中现在分词短语finding her car stolen的意思是“发现车被盗”,发现车被盗的主语当然是“她”,所以句子的主语应用she,而不应该用a policeman。

改正:Finding her car stolen, she hurried to a policeman for help.

◆In order to attract visitors, historic buildings should be maintained.

诊断:历史建筑是没有生命的,不可能有某种目的(in order to do sth),真正的逻辑主语应该是人。

改正:In order to attract visitors, city councils should maintain historic buildings.

◆By setting rules, children can reduce behavioral problems.

诊断:setting rules的主语不是children,应该是学校。

改正:By setting rules, schools can reduce behavioral problems.

◆Compared with Japan, the crime rate in the US was high.

诊断:过去分词compared的主语应该是the US,而不是the crime rate。

改正:Compared with Japan, the US had a higher crime rate.

事实上完整的句子是:When the US is compared with Japan, the US had a higher crime rate.

◆Many companies have required employees to work overtime, performing all tasks before going home.

诊断:主句的主语是many companies, 而performing的主语应该employees, 所以应该要把主语改成employees。

改正:Employees are required to work overtime in many companies, performing all tasks before going home.
