分詞
    分詞是動詞的三種非限定形式之一,分詞有現(xiàn)在分詞和過去分詞兩種。分詞可以在句中作狀語及定語。
    1)現(xiàn)在分詞與過去分詞的區(qū)別
    現(xiàn)在分詞與過去分詞的區(qū)別主要表現(xiàn)在語態(tài)和時(shí)間概念上。在語態(tài)上,現(xiàn)在分詞(除被動式外)表示主動意思,過去分詞表示被動意思。在時(shí)間上,現(xiàn)在分詞表示動作正在進(jìn)行。過去分詞則表示動作已完成。例如:
    developing countries (發(fā)展中國家) developed countries(發(fā)達(dá)國家)
    the touching tale (動人的傳說) the touched audience(受感動的觀眾)
    2)現(xiàn)在分詞的用法
    現(xiàn)在分詞可在句中作定語和狀語。
    (1)作定語
    This is a pressing question.
    這是一個(gè)緊迫的問題。
    He asked an embarrassing question.
    他提了一個(gè)令人難堪的問題。
    現(xiàn)在分詞亦可置于它所修飾的名詞之后;例如:
    There were no soldiers drilling.
    現(xiàn)在分詞短語一般皆置于其修飾的名詞之后;例如:
    A little child learning to walk often falls.
    The men working here are all from the rural areas.
    (2)作狀語
    a. 表示時(shí)間。
    Climbing to the top of the tower, we saw a magnificent view.
    He went out shutting the door behind him.
    強(qiáng)調(diào)與謂語動詞的動作同時(shí)發(fā)生時(shí),現(xiàn)在分詞之前可用連詞when或while。例如:
    When leaving the airport, they waved again and again to us.
    While flying over the Channel, the pilot saw what he thought to be a meteorite(隕石,隕星).
    b. 表示原因。
    Being sick, I stayed at home.
    She caught cold sitting on the grass.
    c. 表示條件。
    Adopting this method, we will raise the average yield by 40 percent.
    Turning to the right, you will find a path leading to his cottage.
