独立主格结构
非谓语动词作状语时,它的逻辑主语应该是句子的主语。但有时非谓语动词带有自己的主语,从而在结构上与主语不发生关系,我们称之为独立主格结构
(Absolute Construction)。其实,所谓“独立主格结构”也并非真正独立,它还是一种从属的结构。
A.不定式“独立主格结构”
His mother to come tonight,he is busy preparing the dinner.
B.-ing 形式“独立主格结构”
动词的-ing 形式作状语时,其逻辑主语一般应与句子的主语保持一致。
Everyone being ready, the teacher began his class.
The boy leading the way, we had no trouble finding the strange cave.
Many eyes watching him, he felt a bit nervous.
Time permitting, we will have a picnic next week.
C.-ed 形式“独立主格结构”
与逻辑主语+动词的-ing 形式一样,如果-ed 形式的逻辑主语和句子的主语不一致的话,就需要用-ed 形式的独立主格结构。
The book written in simple English, English beginners were able to read it.

独立主格结构中的 being 在下列两种情况下一般不能省略,一是在“There being +名词”结构中,二是在逻辑主语是代词的情况下。
There being no bus, we had to walk home.由于没有公共汽车,我们只好走回家。
It being Sunday, all the offices are closed. 因为是星期日,所有办公室都关门。

= He turned to me, and his eyes were sleepy. He stood there, his mouth wide open.
他站在那里,嘴张得大大的。(his mouth 和 wide open 之间省去了 being)
= He stood there, and his mouth was wide open.
C.逻辑主语+副词

= School was over, and we all went home.

D.逻辑主语+介词短语
