简单来说,分词构句就是 "减化版的副词从句" 。

为什么要减化?
其实它只是一种修辞,为了美化句子而已~
怎么减化?
Step1 | 找到副词从句,并把连接词去掉*(*注:如果去掉连接词会造成前后语意模糊,则不建议去除) |
Step2 | 若副词从句的主语 = 主要从句的主语,则去掉副词从句的主语若副词从句的主语 ≠ 主要从句的主语,则保留副词从句的主语(独立分词构句) |
Step3 | 若副词从句为主动,把动词改为 V-ing(如果改完是 being 也可省略)若副词从句为被动,则去掉 be 动词 |
为了帮助理解,小编整理了接下来的范例供大家参考:
【范例1】
Because I overslept this morning, I was late for school.
Step 1. 找到副词从句,并把连接词去掉
>> Because I overslept this morning, I was late for school.
Step 2. 副词从句和主要从句的主语皆为 I,则可去掉副词从句中的 I
>> Because I overslept this morning, I was late for school.
Step 3. 副词从句为主动,把动词改为 V-ing
>> Oversleeping this morning, I was late for school.

【范例2】
When he was taking a bath, he came up with a good idea.
Step 1. 找到副词从句,并把连接词去掉
>> When he was taking a bath, he came up with a good idea.
Step 2. 副词从句和主要从句的主语皆为 he,则可去掉副词从句中的 he
>> When he was taking a bath, he came up with a good idea.
Step 3. 副词从句为主动,把动词改为 V-ing
>> Being taking a bath, he came up with a good idea.
动词改为 V-ing 后是 being,being 可省略
>> Taking a bath, he came up with a good idea.

【范例3】
After she was seated by the window, she started to read the menu.
Step 1. 若将连接词 after 去掉,两动作的前后关系不清楚,因此保留 after
Step 2. 副词从句和主要从句的主语皆为 she,则可去掉副词从句中的 she
>> After she was seated by the window, she started to read the menu.
Step 3. 副词从句为被动,去掉 be 动词
>> After seated by the window, she started to read the menu.

【范例4(独立分词构句)】
As the pandemic broke out, the streets became empty.
Step 1. 找到副词从句,并把连接词去掉
>> As the pandemic broke out, the streets became empty.
Step 2. 副词从句的主语是 the pandemic,主要从句的主语是 the street,两者不一样,所以都要保留
Step 3. 副词从句为主动,把动词改为 V-ing
>> The pandemic breaking out, the streets became empty.

除了副词从句外,and 所引导的从句有时也会被减化为分词构句,
减化方式和副词从句一样,
接下来的范例 5 就是以 and 从句减化的分词构句:
【范例5】
He went to a convenience store, and he bought a bottle of water.
Step 1. 找到 and 从句,并把连接词 and 去掉
>> He went to a convenience store, and he bought a bottle of water.
Step 2. and 从句和主要从句的主语皆为 he,则可去掉 and 从句中的 he
>> He went to a convenience store, and he bought a bottle of water.
Step 3. and 从句为主动,把动词改为 V-ing
>> He went to a convenience store, buying a bottle of water.

分词构句要判断的细节比较多,
不过它的大原则就是 "在语意清楚的情况下删减文字" 。
分词构句用于写作时,能精简语句又增添亮点,
但一篇文章出现一到两次就好,
不然一样的梗玩太多次,就有失增添亮点的效果啰~
最后,恭喜各位正式成为分词构句大师!
