on + ing 形式和with (without)+ 分詞獨立主格結(jié)構(gòu)
1)on + ing 形式:一般將介詞on + -ing形式理解為“分詞”(要有行為主體)而不是“動名詞”,意為 “當(dāng)…時”,“一…就…”,相當(dāng)于when 或as soon as,例如:
On hearing the news,she burst into tears.(一聽到這個消息,她一下子哭了起來。)
錯:On arriving in Beijing,it began to rain heavily.(一到北京,就開始下起大雨來了。)
由于句子的主語it并不是arriving的行為主體,該句語法不成立?梢愿臑椋
No sooner had we arrived in Beijing than it began to rain heavily.
2)with (without)+ 分詞獨立主格結(jié)構(gòu)
She fell asleep with the lamp burning.(她開著燈誰著了。)
Almost every day the kids returned home with their hands and faces covered with mud and sweat.(孩子們幾乎每天回家時手上臉上都是泥和汗。)
當(dāng)這樣的獨立主格結(jié)構(gòu)中的動詞為 “be” 動詞時,往往省略,例如:
Every day the old teacher entered the classroom,with a poor bag under his arm.(每天,這位老教師夾著個破包走進(jìn)教室。= with a poor bag being under his arm)
