非谓语动词

非谓语动词

在英语里是一项重要的语言表现形式,它与汉语动词的使用方法习惯很不一样,是不少中国学生容易混淆出错的知识能力要点。

非谓语动词有四个特出的特点：

一,它不能当谓语,因此在同一句子中一定还会另有谓语动词。象“i running in the morning every day.he named liping." 就是没有谓语动词的错误的句子。

二,非谓语动词和谓语动词都表示动作,但两者的性质,地位不同。这是中国学生最不容易理解的地方。对句子往深层次分析,我们就应该领悟到这一点：与谓语动词的动作对比,非谓语动词的地位是次要的,从属性质的：(1)此动作有时已不是具体的动作,而是概括抽象的一件事,相当于一个名词了；(2)此动作有时即使是具体的动作,但却是从属性的,次要的动作：比如表示原因,条件,时间,目的,临时性的不稳定的伴随动作状态等。在汉语中,不使用连词也可以在一个句子中连用用几个动词；但在英语中,一个句子只能用一个谓语动词,除了用and 连接的两动词外,其它的两个动词一定要分清主次,从属等内在逻辑关系。表示原因,条件,目的,时间,临时性的不稳定的伴随动作等动词必须用非谓语或从句来表示。句子的重心应用作主句谓语动词,句子的次要,伴随,补充的说明部分必须用非谓语或有连词引导的从句。下面列举一些例句对比说明：

1."为了健康,他天天喝牛奶。为了健康"是目的,是次要动作,“喝牛奶”才是唯一的谓语动词；to be more healthy, he drinks milk every day.

2."喝牛奶对他有好处,他爱喝牛奶"这两处的“喝牛奶”明显地不是具体的"喝",而是概括抽象的一件事。“喝牛奶”在此处就近似地相当于名词“牛奶”.应用"drinking milk"动名词来表示。

3,“我喝牛奶肚子痛。”“喝牛奶”在此处虽然是具体动作,但它和"肚子痛"有内在逻辑关系,它表示的是原因,是从属地位,“肚子痛”才是主要的谓语动词。可以用"having drunk some milk, i have some trouble with my stomach."来表示。

也可以用从句“since i have drunk some milk,i have some trouble with my stomach." 4,“喝牛奶,人健康”,“喝牛奶”与“健康”有逻辑联系,它显然是条件,可以用"drinking milk every day, one will get more healthy"来表示。

5,“我喝牛奶呛着了。”“喝牛奶”和“呛着”也有逻辑联系,它表示时间,可以用“drinking milk, i choked."来表示。

6,“他坐在那里喝牛奶.”“坐”是稳定的长背景动作,应做谓语动词,而“喝牛奶”却是变动不稳定的的伴随动作,是补充说明,可用非谓语动词：“he sat there,drinking some milk."

综上所述,同是“喝牛奶”,但各句子中“喝牛奶”的动作含义和句子地位各不相同。此“喝牛奶”非彼“喝牛奶”。

除了可以当状语,非谓语动词还可以当定语和补语。例如：

7,"the girl standing there was crying."standing 就是the girl 的定语。

8,"i found him running in the street." running 就是 found 的宾补。

非谓语动词还可以当表语。当表语的现在分词和过去分词都相当于形容词,表示特征,状态或人的情绪,情感；当表语的动名词相当于名词,表示一件事情或现象。例如：共4页，当前第1页1234

9,the book is tiring , while the film is exciting.

10.the excited audiences were moved at the exciting play.

11.her job is raising pigs ,she finds that living is working.

三,非谓语动词前不需要形式主语和连词。 1,除了独立主格结构外,非谓语动词都没有形式主语出现在它的前面,如出现了多余的主语那反而是错的句子。但主语不出现不等于没有主谓关系。非谓语动词肯定与主句的主语存在着隐含的逻辑主谓关系,如找不出这种关系那一般都是错误的句子。如“从山上看下去,我们的城市很美丽。”主句的主语“城市”不会“看”,不存在逻辑主谓关系,只存在动宾关系。因此不能用“seeing",而只能用"seen from the mountain , ..." 被动的形式来表示。或用独立主格：“anybody seeing it from the mountain ,the city looks very beautiful."又比如“听到这个消息,她的眼泪流出来了。”“眼泪”不会“听”,不存在逻辑主谓关系,因此不能象中文一样直译：hearing the news,her tears came along her check.应该说：hearing the news ,she had tears coming along her check.

2,非谓语动词不需要because,as,if,when,while 等连词,但它却已经含有连词的意思。象 because not having prepared my lesson,i can't answer the question.就是错的,应删去because。

反之,如不用非谓语而用从句,那表示原因,条件,时间,伴随,目的的从句前又必须有连词。而中文却是可以省连词的,如上文的“喝牛奶肚子痛”“喝牛奶,人健康。”“喝牛奶呛着了”都可以加用连词也可以不用连词。因此中国学生往往把表示原因,条件,时间,伴随的从句不用连词,不用句号,却要与主句并列在一起,出现“少连词混淆主次”的错误,如：i am poor, i can't buy the house. "i am poor"显然与后面的句子有逻辑因果关系,应加连词since或变成“being poor,i can't buy the the house.

有时中国学生又会犯两个分句都用连词的错误,如：“因为我病了,所以今天我不能上学”译成：because i am ill, so i can't go to school today.在英语中有连词的句子都是次要,从属地位的从句,如两个分句象中文一样都用连词,那就没有表示句子主要意思的主句了。这便是“多连词导致无主句”错误。同理,如非谓语动词短语后的句子用连词,也等于犯了“无主句”的错误。

四,非谓语动词具有谓语动词的有宾语,有状语等特征。

1,及物的非谓语动词后要带宾语,是双宾动词还要带两个宾语,象上面的句子如用"anybody seeing from the mountain, ........"就是不好的句子,因为及物非谓语动词seeing没有带宾语。

2,不及物的非谓语动词后当然不会有宾语。

3,过去分词后不能出现宾语,因主句的主语就是它的逻辑宾语。象"heated the water ,it will turn into stream."就是错的,the water 应删去。

当然,带双宾的非谓语动词后还需带一个宾语：“told the students many times, the importance is paid attention to."

以上知识能力要点都是要靠理解,领悟,不是靠死记硬背的。下面让我们做一点练习来加深理解。注意两动作的主次逻辑关系,注意“无形式主语”“无连词”“不能多用连词 ”等非谓语动词特点。共4页，当前第2页1234
