例句： Walking along the street， I saw a high building.(walking和saw的動(dòng)作幾乎同時(shí)發(fā)生)
分析： 該句是簡(jiǎn)單句。分詞短語(yǔ)Walking along the street在句中作狀語(yǔ)，表示時(shí)間，相當(dāng)于when I was walking...。
譯文： 當(dāng)我沿著馬路走時(shí)，看見(jiàn)一座高樓。
例句： Having done his homework， the boy went to bed with his little brother.(having done 在went to的動(dòng)作之前已經(jīng)發(fā)生)
分析： 該句是簡(jiǎn)單句。分詞短語(yǔ)Having done his homework在句中作狀語(yǔ)，表示時(shí)間，相當(dāng)于after the boy had finished...。
譯文： 做完作業(yè)后，小男孩和他弟弟一起睡覺(jué)。
二、分詞的用法(Usage)
(一)充當(dāng)定語(yǔ)
分詞常用來(lái)修飾名詞或代詞，單個(gè)分詞作定語(yǔ)放在所修飾詞之前，分詞短語(yǔ)作定語(yǔ)放在所修飾詞之后;但有些過(guò)去分詞也可放在所修飾詞之后，分詞短語(yǔ)作定語(yǔ)置于句中時(shí)相當(dāng)于一個(gè)省略關(guān)系詞的定語(yǔ)從句。
例句： How many of us attending(=who are attending)， say， a meeting that is irrelevant to us would be interested in the discussion?
分析： 該句是復(fù)合句。主干部分為How many of us would be interesed in the discussion。 that is irrelevant to us是修飾a meeting的定語(yǔ)從句， say作插入語(yǔ)，可譯為“比方說(shuō)”， attending... a meeting作定語(yǔ)修飾us。
譯文： 假如我們參加了一個(gè)與我們無(wú)關(guān)的會(huì)議，有多少人會(huì)對(duì)討論感興趣呢?
例句： It is easy to blame the decline of conversation on the pace of modern life and on the vague changes taking place(=which takes place)in our ever?changing world.
(1999年第3題)
分析： 該句是復(fù)合句。it是形式主語(yǔ)，to blame the decline of...是真正的主語(yǔ)，分詞短語(yǔ)taking place in our ever?changing world修飾changes。
譯文： 人們很容易把交談減少歸咎于現(xiàn)代生活的節(jié)奏以及在我們這個(gè)不斷變化的世界中所發(fā)生的某些不太清楚的變革。
例句： On the other hand， he did not accept as well founded the charge made by some of his critics that， while he was a good observer， he had no power of reasoning.
