重点:①过去分词done属于形容词类!
②done同时拥有两层暗示 ⑴完成 ⑵被动
因为done的特性,在其简化后会出现语法正确,但句意错误的现象,为此我们需要做出其他改变!看例子!
例1:
①Beer is most delicious.
①啤酒最可口。
②Beer is chilled to 6℃.
②啤酒被冰到6℃。
合并
①Beer(beer is chilled to 6℃)is most delicious.
①Beer which is chilled to 6℃ is most delicious.
简化
①Beer chilled to 6℃ is most delicious.
简化过程
原句:Beer which is chilled to 6℃ is most delicious.
①去掉which↓,因为which与Beer重复了!啰嗦!
Beer is chilled to 6℃ is most delicious.
②去掉is↓,因为be动词是联系动词,并无实意,简化就是要去掉那些无关紧要的!!
Beer chilled to 6℃ is most delicious.
③短语 chilled to 6℃是形容词短语,修饰主语Beer。它继承了形容词从句的语法特性(形容词性)!从意思来讲,chilled to 6℃本身同时拥有完成与被动暗示,即“被冻到了6℃”,与原句 which is chilled to 6℃并无太大差别!与主句并无意思上的冲突,所以可用!
例2:
①The secretary went home.
①秘书回家去了。
②she had finished the day's work.
②她做完了一天的工作。
合并
①after she had finished the day's work, the secretary went home.
简化
①Having finished the day's work ,the secretary went home.
简化过程
①去掉after↓,因为它在此句中并无太大意义!时间逻辑和因果逻辑是人类默认的两大逻辑!
she had finished the day's work,the secretary went home.
②去掉she ↓,因为she 与the secretary重复了!啰嗦!
had finished the day's work,the secretary went home.
③去掉have↓,因为have只是完成时的时间助动词而已,并无实际意思!
finished the day's work , the secretary went home.
④上句↑语法正确,但句意出现错误。因为finished同时拥有完成与被动的意思,而原状语从句she had finished the day's work只有完成的意思,不能出现秘书被完成的意思!所以需要做出改变!
⑤因为原状语从句只能有完成意思,所以请回完成时的时间助动词 have↓,虽然它并无实际意思,但有它能准确表达完成时!
had finished the day's work,the secretary went home!
⑥此时的句子↑是个错句!因为had finished做为实意动词不能放句首!解决办法就是转变词性。即had finished → having finished.
doing形式的词组具有形容词(现在分词)或名词(动名词)词性。此处我们选用现在分词!用来修饰the secretary! ↓即现在分词短语做状语(传统语法所讲)!能做状语是因为它本就是状语从句的简化!
Having finished the day's work,the secretary went home.
⑦其实还有更好的简化↓。
After the day's work ,the secretary went home.
例3:
①The vase auctioned(拍卖) now is a Ming china(瓷器).
①正在拍卖的花瓶是明朝的瓷器。
上句↑是错句,从语法来看是对的,是形容词从句的简化,但从句意上来说就不对了!
auctioned作为过去分词done形式同时拥有完成与被动的意思,但句意是花瓶“正在”拍卖,还没有卖掉!读者可能产生误会!
所以需要转变auctioned→ be auctioned(动词),这样就只有被动意思了!但句子出现双谓语!
所以再变be auctioned→being auctioned(现在分词词组,“正在”),being auctioned作为形容词组修饰主语the vase,符合要求!↓
The vase being auctioned now is a Ming china.
