关于双重谓语

在同一个句子中同时含有简单谓语和名词性复合谓语的谓语，就叫双重谓语。
双重谓语通常由一个不及物动词加一个形容词构成，有时也由一个不及物动词加一个名词构成，常用来构成双重谓语的不及物动词有rise, lie, die, stand, sit, marry, leave等。例如：
1. The sun rose red. (=When the sun rose, it was red.) 太阳升起红艳艳。
2. Tom lay sick. (=Tom was sick and he was lying.) 汤姆病倒了。
3. He died a beggar. (= He was a beggar when he died.) 他死时是个乞丐。
4. Holding the note in his hand, he stood there dumbfounded. 他拿着票子，站在那里目瞪口呆。
5. That man stood quite still, except that his lips moved slightly.那个人除了嘴唇微微动着以外，站着一动也不动。
6. They sat silent. (=They were silent while they were sitting.)他们坐着一言不发。
7. Don't marry too young.(=Don't marry when you are too young.) 不要早婚。
8. She left a child and came back a mother of three children. 她走时是一个孩子，回来时已是个有三个孩子的妈妈了。
双重谓语的特点有两个：一是常用在文学语言中；二是不及物动词在句中起双重作用，既保留它所表示的意思(单独作简单谓语)，同时又起连系动词的作用(与后面的形容词或名词一起构成名词性复合谓语)。
如果双重谓语用得恰当，可收到言简意赅，生动活泼的效果。
