过去分词作状语

过去分词作状语时，通常表示时间，原因，条件，让步等。在使用过去分词作状语时应该注意以下几个难点：

1. 请看例句：

More time given, we would have done it better.

【分析】句子的主语we与given之间不能构成相应的逻辑关系和正确的意义，为了使句意完整，需要在过去分词given前添加其逻辑主语time。句意为：给的时间越充分，我们就做得越好。

【小结】过去分词短语在句中作状语时，其逻辑主语必须是句子的主语。如果主语不一致，需要在分词前面加上逻辑主语。如：

The boy stood there, his hand raised.

那个男孩站在那儿，举着手。

2. 请看例句：

Disappointed that he did not win the contest, Tony decided to give up.

【分析】句中的disappointed与逻辑主语Tony之间并无被动关系，而是说明逻辑主语Tony本身所处的状态。句意为：由于对不能赢得竞赛感到失望，Tony决定放弃。

【小结】 并非所有的过去分词都表示被动意义，有些过去分词只表示逻辑主语所处的一种状态。类似用法的短语有be lost in thought, be devoted to, be interested

in, be dressed in, be seated, be pleased, be surprised, be filled with等。

如： Interested in this kind of book, he bought two copies at a time.

由于对这种书很感兴趣，他一次买了两本。
