非谓语动词仍然是动词,可以带有自己的逻辑主语和宾语。

现在分词和动名词的区别
现在分词与动名词都是动词的-ing形式,它们在形式上是完全一样的。
它们主要的区别是在句子中充当的成分(角色)有所不同。当动词的-ing形式用于充当主语,宾语时,即为动名词。而当动词的-ing形式在句中充当非名词性成分(如:定语,状语和补语)时,我们即视其为现在分词。
另外,动名词与现在分词都可以作表语,但也是有区别的。动名词相当于一个名词,所以作表语时是用来说明主语的内容的。而现在分词作表语时相当于形容词,是用来说明主语的性质、特征的。

4. 过去分词
过去分词是非谓语动词,它不能自带时间,不能表示过去的时间。
比如:minced meat 绞肉
The rabbit will eat minced carrot next week.
兔子下周会吃搅碎的胡萝卜。
minced 是不自带时间概念的,而只是表示被绞的这个状态。
过去分词的形式
通常:“动词原形” + “-ed”
不规则变化:www.yingyutu.com/bgz
eat - eaten
see - seen
cut - cut
grow - grown
tell - told
-
minced作定语,你可以把这个过去分词看作形容词。通常形容词,比如big,small,smart都是加在名词前的
a big carrot. a small room. a smart rabbit. 单个的过去分词也是一样: a minced carrot. 一根绞碎的胡萝卜 a painted room. 一个漆过了的房间 an excited rabbit. 一只激动的兔子
作定语
则要放到被修饰的名词之后,即“后置定语”。
The carrot cake eaten by the rabbit is delicious.
被兔子吃了的胡萝卜很美味。
作主语补语(表语)
The rabbit is interested in growing carrots.
兔子对种胡萝卜感兴趣。
interested是一个过去分词,表示“对...感兴趣的”
sb. is interested(过去分词) in doing sth. 有着过去分词的主系表结构,而且这里还有个动名词。
现在分词和过去分词作主语补语(表语)的区别:
现在分词也可以做主语补语(表语),比如:
The story is interesting(主动).故事很有趣。暗含的意义是故事让人感到有趣。
过去分词也可以做表语:
The rabbit is interested(被动).兔子很有趣。暗含的意义是,兔子被某物引起了兴趣。
现在分词暗含主动关系,即被描述的是做出动作的人/物。
过去分词暗含被动关系,即被描述的是动作的接受者。
The rabbit was frightened.兔子感到害怕,说明是被动的。被某事吓到了,所以要用过去分词。
The rabbit was frightening.兔子令人感到害怕
所以说,千万不要笼统地认为“过去分词修饰人,现在分词修饰物”。要搞清楚表达的意思是主动还是被动。
I am interested.是被动,表示我被某人/某物引起了兴趣。
I am interesting.是主动,表示我引起了某人的兴趣。
作宾语补语
复杂及物动词后跟宾语和宾语补足语,而这个宾语补语也可以由过去分词充当:
The rabbit found his carrot stolen.
兔子发现它的胡萝卜被偷了。
作状语
过去分词作状语,和现在分词有些相似:
- 表地点:
Seen from the hill, the carrot field looks beautiful.
主语carrot field是seen的逻辑主语。它们之间是一种被动的关系,所以使用过去分词。
从山上看,胡萝卜田看上去很美。
Seeing the carrot field, the rabbit ran towards it.
看到胡萝卜田,兔子朝着它跑去。(这里是兔子主动看到胡萝卜田,所以才用seeing.)
- 表原因:
Born in a rabbit family, the rabbit has been growing carrots all his life.
由于出生在一个兔子家庭里,兔子种了一辈子胡萝卜。
- 表条件:
Given another chance, the rabbit would go to the wolf’s party.
如果再给兔子一次机会,他会去参加狼的聚会。
其实要弄清楚到底是该用过去分词还是现在分词,还是要看句子中到底是主动的含义,还是被动的含义。
- 独立主格
The work finished, the rabbit went home.(简单句)
工作完成后,兔子回家了。
开头有一个the work,所以finished并不是在描述后面的rabbit,而是在描述the work.所以这句话实际上相当于并列句:
The work was finished, and/so the rabbit went home.
或者从句:
After the works was finished, the rabbit went home.
以上这种“高级”用法,就是让句中只含有一个谓语动词,其他的变成非谓语动词,用一个简单句写出来。
The weather permitting, the rabbit will go out.
天气允许的话,兔子就出门
相当于:If the weather permits, the rabbit will go out.
以上这种一个简单句除去核心的谓语动词外,其他的动词转为对应的过去分词或现在分词的用法,语法上称作“独立主格”。因为在以上的句子中,现在分词/过去分词是在句中的状语里(并非句子的主语),但是在状语本身里,分词修饰的对象(以上句中的work和weather),隐含了一层“主语”的意味,虽然并不是整句的主语。
