非謂語動(dòng)詞是英語高考重要考點(diǎn)之一,而非謂語動(dòng)詞作狀語更是重點(diǎn)中的難點(diǎn)。在平時(shí)的學(xué)習(xí)和操練中,非謂語動(dòng)詞的錯(cuò)誤率是比較高的。所以,同學(xué)們在學(xué)習(xí)中要理清思路,掌握要點(diǎn),善于辨析,準(zhǔn)確判斷。請看以下例題:
例1 Though he was busy, he came_____me from time to time.
A. seeing B. to see
C. seen D. see
例2 The moment he knew the news, he came_____to me.
A. running B. to run
C. ran D. run
分析例1答案為B,例2答案為A。那么,謂語動(dòng)詞同樣是came, 為何后面所跟的非謂語動(dòng)詞卻不同呢?原因很簡單,例1中came后面所跟的非謂語動(dòng)詞作目的狀語,故用動(dòng)詞不定式to see; 而例2中came后面所帶的非謂語動(dòng)詞雖然也作狀語,但表示行為方式,所以要用分詞表達(dá)。
動(dòng)詞不定式和分詞都可以在句中作狀語,但意義有所區(qū)別。
動(dòng)詞不定式作狀語時(shí),通常表示目的或結(jié)果。表示目的時(shí)可用 in order to do, so as to do 或直接用 to do 表達(dá);表示結(jié)果時(shí),常用too…to do, so…as to do/so as to do, enough to do, never to do, only to do等形式。其中,so as to 既可以表目的也可以表結(jié)果,但 so as to 不能用于句首。而分詞作狀語時(shí)則用來表示時(shí)間、原因、條件、讓步、行為方式或伴隨情況等。根據(jù)這一基本規(guī)則,我們就不難理解本文開頭兩道例題的解答了,語境不同,謂語動(dòng)詞 come 之后的表達(dá)方式也就不同。
