獨立主格結構:

獨立主格結構，又叫獨立結構（absolute construction）。它在句法上游離于句子主體之外，跟主句沒有任何句法聯系；但在意義上卻與主句緊密聯系在一起，共同構成一個完整的語義環境。獨立主格結構沒有主語和謂語，只有邏輯上的主語，因此，它在句法上不是句子，而是一個獨立于句子成分之外的獨特結構形式。

獨立主格結構可置于句首、句尾，用逗號與主句隔開。

二、獨立主格結構的形式

獨立主格結構可分為兩部分，一部分是名詞或代詞（主格），起著邏輯主語的作用；另一部分由形容詞、副詞、名詞、分詞、不定式、介詞短語等構成，表示前面名詞或代詞的狀態、狀況或動作。

1）名詞／代詞＋形容詞

I heard that she got injured in the accident, my heart full of worry．

我聽說她在這場事故中受了傷，內心充滿擔憂。

He stood silent in the moon-light, his door open．月光下，門開著，他默默地站立在那。

2）名詞／代詞＋現在分詞

Winter coming, it gets colder and colder．冬天來了，天氣越來越冷了。

The rain having stopped, he went out for a walk．雨停了，他出去散步。

3）名詞／代詞＋過去分詞

More time given, we should have done it much better．

如果給我們更多的時間，我們會做得更好。

The boy stood there, his right hand raised．那個男生站在那里，右手高舉。

4）名詞／代詞（主格）＋不定式

Here are the first two volumes, the third one to come out next month

這是前兩卷,第三卷將于下月問世。

The two boys said good-bye to each other, one to go home, the other to go to his friend's．

兩個男孩彼此道了別，一個回了家，另一個去了他朋友家。

5）名詞／代詞十介詞短語

The huntsman entered the forest, gun in hand．那位獵人手里提著槍走進了樹林。

注意：這里gun in hand還可以說成with a gun in his hand，但不可以說a gun in hand或gun in his hand。

6）名詞／代詞十副詞

Nobody in, the thief took a lot of things away．由于沒有人，小偷拿走了許多東西。

Lunch over, he left the house．But he was thinking．午飯結束，他離開屋。但他還在考慮。

7）名詞／代詞＋名詞

He fought the wolf, a stick his only weapon．他和狼搏斗著，唯一的武器是一根棍棒。

8）with復合結構

它的構成是：“with ＋ 賓語 ＋ 賓語補足語”。賓語由代詞、名詞、名詞詞組充當，賓補由分詞、不定式、形容詞、副詞、介詞短語、名詞等充當。

Holms and Watson sat with the light on for half an hour．

福爾摩斯和沃森坐著，讓燈亮了半個小時。（介詞短語）

He used to sleep with the door open．他過去常開著門睡覺。（形容詞）

With a boy leading the way, they started towards the village．

由一個小男孩領著路，他們朝那個村子去了。（現在分詞）

With the work done, he went home．工作做完后，他回了家。（過去分詞）

With you to help us, we will finish the task in time．

由你來幫助，我們將會及時完成任務。（不定式）

Hong Kong looks more beautiful with thou-sands of lights on at night．

夜里，香港萬盞燈火，分外美麗。（副詞）

從以上例句可以看出：在with復合結構中，賓語和賓補之間形成邏輯上的主謂關系。當這種主謂關系表現為主動語態時，用現在分詞；當這種主謂關系表現為被動語態時，用過去分詞；當這種主謂關系表示將來意義時，用不定式；當這種主謂關系表示伴隨意義時，用現在分詞或副詞。

三、獨立主格結構的功能

獨立主格結構主要用于描繪性文字中，其作用相當于一個狀語從句，常用來表示時間、原因、條件、行為方式或伴隨情況等。

1）表示時間 Her work done, she sat down for a cup of tea．她干完了活，坐下來喝茶。

2）表示條件 The condition being favourable, he may succeed．

若條件有利，他或許能成功。

3）表示原因 There being no taxis, we had to walk．沒有出租車，我們只好步行。

4）表示伴隨情況 Almost all metals are good conductors, silver being the best of all．

幾乎所有的金屬都是良導體，而銀則是最好的導體。

四、形式選擇中應該注意的問題

1）現在分詞還是過去分詞？

在獨立主格結構中，主格詞與分詞形成邏輯主謂關系時，用現在分詞。如：Winter coming it gets colder and colder．一句中，“春天”和“到來”是邏輯主謂關系，用現在分詞；主格詞與分詞形成邏輯動賓關系時，用過去分詞。如：More money given，we should have sent more employees to the mother company to get trained．一句中，“money”和“give”是動賓關系（被動關系），用過去分詞。

在獨立主格結構中，如果強調分詞的時間發生在主句動詞時間之前，常用現在分詞

完成時態表示。如：The snow having stopped，she went out to sweep the snow in the yard．

現在分詞與過去分詞的性質完全不同，但在獨立結構中，有時卻有共同之處：現在分詞的被動式有時可以簡化為過去分詞。例如：

As her skirt was caught on a nail, she could not move．

→Her skirt being caught on a nail, she could not move．

→Her skirt caught on a nail, she could not move．

After his work had been finished, he went home．

→His work having been finished, he went home．

→His work finished, he went home．

2）分詞結構還是獨立結構？

上面的例子告訴我們，獨立結構常常可以看作是由主從復合句中的從句變來的。但是，如果從句和主句的主語相同，則不可改為獨立結構。例如：

Since he was very tired with his walk，he soon fell asleep and forgot his troubles．

不可改為：He being very tired with his walk，he．但可改為：Being very tired with his walk he．．．

比較：判斷動名詞復合結構的方式

　　主語位置上，或動詞、介詞后的"名詞代詞 + 非謂語動詞"，如果表示的是一個事件則是動名詞復合結構，而不是"名詞 + 定語。請看以下各例：

(B)1. He insisted on the windows _____ open while he was sleeping.

A. left 　　B. being left　　 C. leaving D. be left

(D)2. The road __________ caused us to stop our work for half an hour.
