【语法解释】过去分词作状语
1)过去分词本身有被动含义,可以表示时间、原因、结果、条件、让步、行为方式、伴随状况等。例如:
Heated, water changes into steam. (条件)加热后,水变成蒸气。
They fell asleep at once, utterly exhausted. (原因)他们筋疲力尽,很快就入睡了。
Although wounded all over, the brave soldiers continued to fight. (让步)虽然伤痕累累,勇士们仍坚持战斗。
My father was sitting in the armchair, lost in thought of the past. (伴随)我父亲坐在扶手椅上,陷入对往事的回忆中。
2)过去分词作状语,其逻辑主语通常须与主语一致。例如:
The captain rushed into the building, followed by the soldiers. 士兵们跟着上尉冲进大楼。
3)过去分词充当状语时,分词前面也可加once,though,where等连词,此时相当于一个含有被动语态的状语从句。例如:
Though beaten (=Though we were beaten), we were not discouraged. 虽然输了,但我们并没有泄气。
Once tasted (=Once it is tasted), the dish is hard to forget. 一旦尝过一次,这道菜的美味就难以让人忘怀。
Rats should be wiped out where found (=where they are found). 哪里发现老鼠,就在哪里把它们消灭。
