主语或宾语补足语
2012-07-18 10:39阅读:
补语是用来补充主语和宾语的意义的,一般都注重说明主语或宾语的特征,常由形容词、名词、数词、不定式,分词,介词短语担任,表语就是位于联系动词之后的主语补语(另外我认为,同位语是紧贴主语之后的主语补足语)
补语之主语补语
主语补足语,通常位于主语之前或谓语动词之后,当然放在谓语动词被动语态的过去分词之后,也可放在状语之后或谓语动词和状语之间(见后):
①主语补语位于主语之前,后有逗号
例:Tired and
sleepy, I went to bed (形短形式之一)
②有时位于主语之后,前后皆有逗号
例:Chen, only
1.80 meters tall, won the first
prize.(形短形式之二)
③位于谓语动词之后(见下具体说明)
例:
He died young.
He
was found died.
④除形容词外,名词、数词、不定式,分词,介词短语,从句也可作主语补足语。
例:He came
home quite changed,过去分词短语作主语补足语。
He sat at the table,
collar off, head down, and pen in position, ready
to begin the long letter.
(主语补足语位于无动词独立结构之后)
英语中还有一定数量的不及物动词,既保留了本身的词汇意义,同时又发挥着系动词的功能。它们与主语补足成分连用,所以这类词被称为“准系动词”用于“s+vi+cs”(s代表主语,vi代表不及物动词,cs代表主语补足语)这一句式的动词都属于这种用法。有时,主语补足语不紧跟系动词,有可能被其它状语成分隔开。以“go”为例:
5. At twenty-four, tom went half-bald. ( go
为系动词,失去原义。)
6. After midnight, tom went home bored. ( go
为准系动词,保留原义,但同时又连接主语“tom”和主补“bored”,“home”为副词,表示地点状语。)
用于这一句式的补语可以为各种形式,如名词词组(np),形容词词组(ap),介词词组(pr.p),和分词短语(pp)等。现举例如下:
type1: s + vi +cs
(名词短语)
7. We parted the best
friends.
= we were the best friends when we parted.
8. I stand before you today the representative of a family in
grief.
= I am the representative of a family in grief when i stand before
you today.
类似的动词包括: come (back), die, fall, go, leave
等。
type2: s +
vi +cs (形容词短语)
9. They
were born poor, lived poor, and poor they died.
= they were poor when they were born; they were poor when they
lived; they were poor when they died.
10. She married young.
= she was young when she married.
11. The morning dawned fresh and clear after the storm at
night.(主补放状前)
= when the morning dawned after the storm at night, it was fresh
and clear.
类似的动词包括:arrive, come (back), dawn, fall, leave, lie,
marry, return, sit, stand, turn out
等。
type3: s +
vi +cs (介词短语)
12. The parcel arrived in good condition.
= when the parcel arrived, it was in good condition.
13. They separated with feelings alienation.
= they had feelings alienation when they
separated.
14.I was put in charge of the manager, with the responsibility
throughout of China.
= I had the
responsibility throughout of China when I was put in charge of the
manager.
类似的动词包括:come, die, fall, go, leave, lie, part, return, sit,
stand等。
type4: s +
vi +cs (分词短语)
14. They
stood listening to him. (亦可理解为现分做状)
= they stood while they were listening to him.
15. He came home convinced that she was telling the truth.
= he came home and he was convinced that she was telling the
truth.
类似的动词包括:arrive, die, fall, go, leave, lie, return, sit
等。
宾语补足语
(在英汉对译指导中,宾补为句子五种基本形式之一的组成部分)
英语中有些及物动词,除有一个宾语外,还要有一个补足语(表明宾语发出的动作或身份、特征等)才能使句子的意思完整(可以此标准区别宾补和后置定),另有语法家将宾语补足语或其一类称为“宾语的表语”。这类动词主要包括:make, consider, believe, cause, feel, hear, listen
to, see, find, have, let, call等。
充当宾语补足语的成分通常有名词、形容词、副词、介词短语、不定式、分词(包括现在分词和过去分词)等。
1. 名词作宾语补足语。通常用在make, call,
name等动词的后面。如:
We made Wang Qiang our team leader.
2. 形容词作宾语补足语。通常用在keep, paint, get, think, find,
make等动词之后。如:Don't get your clothes dirty.
3.
副词作宾语补足语。通常用在感官动词或使役动词后面。如:
I
saw him out with his father.
4. 介词短语作宾语补足语。通常用在keep, find等动词的后面。如:
We found everything in
the lab in good order.
5.
不定式作宾语补足语。分为接to和不接to的动词不定式。如:
⑴ They encouraged me to try again.
⑵ Let me introduce you to Miss
Li.
不定式与现在分词作宾语补足语时的区别在于:前者表示事情全过程或一次性动作;后者表示宾语补足语是一个正在进行或发生的动作,具有一定的描述性。
6. 现在分词和过去分词作宾语补足语。用在see, hear, feel,
watch等感官动词以及使役动词have, keep等后面。如:
⑴
Look! Can you see a boy running
towards us?
⑵
When we arrived there, we saw
the work done.
现在分词作宾补与过去分词作宾补的区别在于:用现在分词作宾补,说明宾语是动作的发出者,形成逻辑上的主谓关系;用过去分词作宾补,表示宾语是动作的承受者,构成逻辑上的动宾关系。
7.宾语补足语的连用:
Collecting, by occupying
spare time so constructively, makes a person contented, with
no time for bordom.
总结及疑问:
1.
如开篇所述,补语是用来补充主语和宾语的意义的,一般都注重说明主语或宾语的特征。因此补语与其主语和宾语构成逻辑上的主谓关系。
2.
如名词性主补紧贴主语之后,可理解为主语的同位语或后置定语?
3.
主补放在句首或句尾,可理解为状语?(参见现在分词作状语)
4.
宾语补足语可根据其逻辑主语与全句状语相区别(还是备不住);根据其在句中存在的必要性与后置定语相区别。
