哪些情況下狀語從句的be動詞可以省略
?
當(dāng)狀語從句的主語和主句的主語一致時,從句可以將主語和be動詞簡化掉。常用于以下幾種情形:
1. 連詞+形容詞
As (he was) young, he learned how to ride a bike.他小時候就學(xué)會了騎自行車。
Whenever (she is) free, she often goes shopping.她有空就去逛商店。
Work hard when (you are) young, or you'll regret.少壯不努力,老大徒傷悲。
2. 連詞+現(xiàn)在分詞
As (she was) walking along the river bank, she was singing a pop song.她沿著河堤邊走邊唱著流行歌曲。
Although (he is) doing his best in maths these days, he has still got no good marks.盡管近來他一直在學(xué)數(shù)學(xué),但他仍然沒有取得好成績。
3. 連詞+名詞
While (he was) a young boy, he was always ready to help others.他在孩子時代就樂于助人。
Although (he was) a farmer, now he is a famous director.盡管他曾是個農(nóng)民,但現(xiàn)在他是位著名的導(dǎo)演了。
4. 連詞+介詞短語
She looked anxious as though (she was) in trouble.她看上去很焦急,好像遇到了麻煩。
He had mastered the English language before (he was) in the USA.他到美國之前就懂英語了。
注意:當(dāng)從句主語和主句主語不一致時,從句部分要么用完全形式,要么用獨(dú)立主格結(jié)構(gòu)來表達(dá)。例如:
When the meeting was over, all the people went out of the meeting-room.當(dāng)會議結(jié)束時,人們都走出了會議室。(=The meeting over, all the people went out of the meeting-room.)
5. 連詞+過去分詞
He won't go there with us unless (he is) invited.除非受到邀請,否則他不會和我們一道去那里。
The concert was a great success than (it was) expected.這場音樂會出乎意料地取得了巨大成功。
6.?連詞+不定式
He stood up as if (he were) to say something.當(dāng)時他站起來好像要說什么。
He wouldn't solve the problem even if (he were) to take charge.即使他來負(fù)責(zé),他也解決不了這個問題。
