动词的-ing形式作状语

吴国斌

动词的-ing形式作状语时，表示的动作是主语动作的一部分，用来修饰谓语动词，常表示动作发生的时间、原因、条件、结果、方式、伴随、让步等情况，并可以转换成相应的状语从句或并列句。

1.表时间

Walking in the park，she saw an old friend.

在公园散步时，她看到一个老朋友。

＝When she was walking in the park, she saw an old friend.

Having finished the work, he went out to meet his friends.

完成工作后，他出去会朋友了。

＝After he finished the work, he went out to meet his friends.

2.表原因

Having traveled to many places, he knows a lot.

到过很多的地方去旅游，他知道的很多。

＝Since he has traveled to many places, he knows a lot.

Being ill, he was sent to hospital.

由于生病，他被送往医院。

3.表伴随或方式

He sent me an e-mail, hoping to get further information.

三、动词的-ing形式作状语时，应注意的几个问题

1.现在分词(v.-ing)形式的否定结构是在分词前加not，分词完成式的否定结构通常把not放在having前面。

Not knowing how to deal with the problem, he turned to his teacher for help.

由于不知道如何处理这个问题，他向老师求助。

Not having finished his work, he was punished by his boss.

由于没有完成工作，老板惩罚了他。

2.现在分词(v.-ing)形式作状语时，其逻辑主语通常与句子的主语保持一致；且通常与句中主语含有逻辑上的主谓关系；否则不能使用现在分词作状语，但可使用独立主格结构。

Seeing from the hill, you will see the beautiful city.

从山上看，你会看到美丽的城市。

Seeing from the hill, the city looks more beautiful.（X）

从山上看，这座城市更美丽。

My homework having been done, I began to watch football match.

做完作业，我开始看足球赛。（本句中状语部分为独立主格结构，having been done的逻辑主语为my homework，而不是句子的主语I)

[注意］动词不定式与现在分词(v.-ing )形式作结果状语的区别：

动词不定式作结果状语时，常表示出乎意料的结果，其前可加only或never。而现在分词作结果状语则表示必然的或合乎逻辑的结果，这时其前可加thus。另外，充当结果的现在分词的逻辑主语有时并不是句子的主语，而是句子的内容或部分内容。

He hurried to the station only to find the train gone.

他匆匆忙忙地赶到火车站，却发现火车已经开走了。

His parents died, leaving his condition worse off.

他的父母去世了，使他的状况更糟糕(更贫穷，经济情况更不好)。
