例句精讲

1. Joining us in the studio are Isabel Rose from the Cannes Film Festival,...and Xu Li from the Shanghai International Film Festival.

来到我们节目现场的有来自戛纳电影节的伊莎贝尔·罗斯......还有来自上海国际电影节的徐立。

【巧解句构】这是一个倒装句，正常语序应该是Isabel Rose...and Xu Li from the Shanghai International Film Festival are joining us in the studio.当句子的主语太长时，为了保持句子结构平衡，往往使用倒装语序，将主语放在句子的后半部分。如：

Nearby was the house in which they had lived for more than twenty years.

附近就是他们住了二十多年的那幢房子。

【要点剖析】当句子的谓语是be, stand, sit, lie等动词，而句子主语部分较长时，位于句首会使整个句子比例失调，因此往往采用完全倒装形式，把表语部分提到句首。

如：

1)Present at the meeting were professors from key universities and some government officials.

出席会议的是来自重点大学的教授和一些政府官员。

2)Such was Albert Einstein, a simple man of great achievements.

阿尔伯特·爱因斯坦就是这样一个人，一个淳朴而又取得巨大成就的人。

误区警示 因为这种倒装形式中主语在后面，需要注意句子的主谓一致问题。如：

From the speakers in the buildings comes the fire alarm.

从各个大楼的扩音器里传来火警的声音。

2. Considering the history of our festival, we feel it is important not to favour films from any one country.

考虑到电影节的传统，我们觉得不偏爱任何一个国家的电影很重要。

【巧解句构】1）句中Considering the history of our festival引导的短语作原因状语。

2）动词favour意思是"偏爱"。如：

Matt feels his parents favour his younger brother.

马特觉得父母偏爱他的弟弟。

【拓展延伸】1）considering prep. 就......而论；考虑到；鉴于；现在分词形式用作介词，所以也称为分词介词，类似的还有：including包括；regarding 关于；concerning关于。如：

Considering he's only just started, he knows quite a lot about it.

鉴于他才刚刚开始，他懂得的已经不少了。

现在分词作状语常见功能如下：

①作原因状语：

Not having received an answer, he decided to write another letter.

因为没收到回信，他决定再写一封信。

②作结果状语

His wife died in 1962, leaving him with three children.

他妻子1962年死了，留给他三个孩子。

③作伴随或方式状语

Holding his head high, he walked past the pole.

他昂着头，走过竹竿。

④作并列状语

The train started at five, arriving (=and arrived) at Beijing at twelve.

火车五时开出，十二时到达北京。
