一、語法大哉問: 現在分詞只能用在「現在」?「過去分詞」只能用在「過去」嗎? 當然不是!但常有學生對於「分詞構句」中, 所謂的「現在分詞」和「過去分詞」到底該怎麼用,倍感困惑: Overlooking the beautiful Langland Bay, the hotel was rated 5 stars by Time magazine. Rated 5 stars by Time magazine, the hotel overlooks the beautiful Langland Bay.
二、主動分詞與被動分詞的道理: 一般所謂的「現在分詞」與「過去分詞」其實和「現在/過去」無關,現在分詞可以用在過去式,過去分詞也可以用
1. 主動分詞: Wagging his tail, the dog asked for food. 2. 被動分詞: Soaked with water, the dog looked skinny and sick.
三、例句解說 將上述的主、被動分詞放在以下的小故事中,會更加清楚: Ian早上被鬧鐘吵醒,罵道又是個上班日!想到還沒完成的案子,他就從床上一躍而起,踏進浴室時,絆到腳跌在地上,Ian的老婆被砰的一聲嚇了一跳,趕緊衝進浴室;靠著老婆的幫忙,Ian終於從地上站起來。 請注意,以下文句是敘述發生過的事情,所以動詞都是用「過去式」:
Waking to the buzz of the alarm clock, Ian cursed the arrival of another working day. Thinking of his unfinished project, he jumped out of his bed. Stepping into the bathroom, he tripped over his feet and fell to the floor. Frightened by the loud thud, Ian’s wife rushed into the bathroom. Helped by his wife, Ian finally got up from the floor.
四、延伸用法 「主動分詞」與「被動分詞」在句子中的主要功能是修飾相關的名詞。但是如何區別主被動,關鍵在於分詞與名詞兩者間的「責任關係」。 例1: A life-threatened patient fights against a life-threatening condition. → patient的生命是受到疾病的威脅,因此用被動形式life-threatened。 例2: He is bored. 他覺得無聊。→ 他「被影響」的情緒狀態。
所以,閒閒沒事幹,「我好無聊喔!」該怎麼說? 美爾頓英語摘錄TOEIC900
