过 去 分 词 在 非 谓 语 动 词 中 的 语 态 时 态 特 征
广东省深圳市宝安中学 赵国强 (518101)
有关动词过去分词的用法是英语学习中不可忽视的重要一环。谓语中,be动词的相应形式+过去分词多表示被动,have的相应形式+过去分词只表示完成,正因为过去分词借助某种形式可以表示被动或已经完成的动作,因此,过去分词在非谓语动词中亦自然具有相应的语态时态特征。单独过去分词在某些特定结构中可以表示该动词的被动或完成意义。
一、单独过去分词可以表示被动
1.宾语补足语中的过去分词表被动
感官动词和使役动词(如see, feel, find, make, need等)后面的宾语补足语,大多直接采用过去分词表示被动意义。如:
1) He often hears the song sung in the next room.他经常听见这首歌在隔壁房间唱起。
(比较:He often hears someone sing the song in the next room.他经常听见有人在隔壁房间唱歌。)
2) Would you like to have/get the bike repaired?你想要自行车给修一下吗?
(比较:Would you like to have someone repair the bike?或Would you like to get someone to repair the bike? 你想要请人修一下自行车吗?)
3) I won’t have anything said against him.我不容许背着他说他的坏话。
4)Will you speak a little louder so that you can make yourself heard?你讲大声点以便让别人听见你说的好吗?
5)Do you need the letter typed at once?你需要这信马上给打一下吗?
但并非所有动词后面的宾补都可单独使用过去分词表示被动,因此,相关被动意义的得体表达还需因词制宜。如:
1) They will not allow such things to be done.他们将不准做这种事。
2) I won’t let them be treated in that way.我不能让他们受到这样的对待。
3) We suggested them being sent to hospital at once.我们建议他们给立即送往医院。
2. 状语中的过去分词表被动
正如现在分词可以用来代替主语+主动语态动词一样,过去分词也可以代替主语+被动语态动词结构。也就是说,单独过去分词作状语,相当于被动语态的状语从句。该结构中的过去分词短语之前大多不必添加being来表示进行等意义。
1)Led by the old man, we had no difficulty in finding his house.=As we were led by the old man, we had no difficulty….由于老人带路,我们不费劲便找到他的家。
2)Satisfied with the boy’s answer, the teacher had a sweet smile.=Because the teacher was satisfied with…, he had …由于对男生的答案感到满意,老师甜甜地笑。
4) Given more time, they will probably agree.=If they are given more time, they will….如果多给点时间,他们很可能会同意的。
3. with复合结构中的过去分词表被动
with后的宾语所带的动词,如果与宾语之间属被动关系,只用过去分词表达。如:
1)With the gold cup held in his hand, he felt very excited.手里握着金杯,他很是兴奋。
2)The young guy lay on the grass with his hands crossed under his head.年轻人躺在草地上,双手叉着枕在头下。
4. 连词后的过去分词表被动
引导状语从句的连词(如when, while, though, once, as if等),大都单独采用过去分词表示被动,相当于一个省略的状语从句。如:
1)Don’t keep silent when (you’re)asked a question.当(别人)在问你的时候别不做声。
2)Once/ If (it’s) whipped, the horse will run faster.一旦(如果)抽鞭子,马就跑得快些。
3)Though (he was) taken there in his childhood, he still didn’t know the place well.虽然小时候给带到那儿去过,但他对这地方还是不熟。
但要注意:由before, after引导的被动语态动词短语代替从句,必须在过去分词前加上being。如:
After being shown around the factory, we had a rest.当领着参观工厂之后,我们休息了一会儿。(试比较:When shown around the factory, we had a rest./ Having been shown around the factory, we had a rest.)
5. 谓语中的过去分词表被动
在广告、通知、标题等文体中,为了行文简洁明了,谓语中也常常单独采用过去分词表示被动意义。如:Turners wanted!(招聘车工!) ALL GOODS GREATLY REDUCED!(各种货物大减价!) Trade agreements broken(贸易协定遭破坏)等等。
二、单独过去分词可以表示完成
由于过去分词作定语不用完成式,表示完成意义的定语自然采用单独过去分词来表达。如:
sweep the fallen leaves=sweep the leaves that have fallen扫落叶
a developed country=a country that has developed发达国家
三、单独过去分词可以表示被动+完成
所谓单独过去分词表示被动+完成,即过去分词可以独立表示完成意义的被动语态。通常出现在以下方面:
1.过去分词在定语中表示被动+完成
1) He told us of the great wrong done to him.=He told us of the great wrong which had been done to him.他给我们讲了他所遭受的巨大冤屈。
2)Did you accept the invitation (that had been) given by the tour guide? 你接受导游所给的邀请了吗?
2.过去分词在with复合结构中表示被动+完成
With the homework finished, I went out for a walk.=When the homework was/had been finished, I went out….作业做完之后,我出去散了会儿步。
3. 过去分词在状语中表示被动+完成
Weakened by the successive storms, the bridge was no longer safe. =As the bridge had been weakened by successive storms, it was no longer safe.由于遭到接二连三暴风雨的破坏,这桥已经不安全了。
值得一提的是,分词作状语,如果强调该动作已经完成,还是需要采用相应语态的完成式形式;过去分词作定语,如果强调该动作正在发生,则用being+过去分词。分别举例如下:
1)Having corrected the students’ homework, he handed it out.他将学生的作业改完之后就发下去了。
2)Having been bitten twice, the postman refused to deliver our letters unless we chained our dog up.由于被狗咬过两次,邮递员要我们把狗拴起来,要不就不给我们送信。
3)Have you noticed the bridge being built there?= Have you noticed the bridge which is being built there?你注意到了那儿正在修的那座桥吗?
