2.过去分词作状语时,过去分词的逻辑主语与句子主语一致。如果其逻辑主语与整个句子的主语不一致时,需要独立主格结构或with复合结构来替代。(此时,也可把该分词看成介词的宾语补足语。)例:
The murderer was brought in, with his hands ___ behind his back.
A. being tied B. having tied C. to be tied D. tied
简析:很显然,待选部分的逻辑主语是his hands,而不是句子的主语The murderer,而his hands对于动词tie来说,只能是被动承受。因此,该题应选D。
注:过去分词有两大特点:1.表示被动的动作;2.表示已经完成的动作,因此,当过去分词作状语的时候一定要搞清楚分词与主语的逻辑关系--被动。例如:
