英语是一种符号学,甚至符号学都是语言学中的一个非常关键的分支。其实符号的重要性不容小视,今天我们通过聊聊“V-ing”和“逗号+V-ing”,来看看有逗号无逗号的区别。
V-ing
a crying baby
这里是V-ing直接放在名词前后表示动作cry和动作发出者baby他们是主动关系。
The fabled city of Timbuktu was founded by nomads seeking shelter from the Sahara desert on the cool banks
of Niger River. (摘自GMAT SC 真题)
黑体部分nomads seeking是nomads主动发出seek的动作,理解为:游牧民寻找…
Last week local shrimpers held a news conference to take some credit for the resurgence of the rare Kemp's ridley
turtle, saying that their compliance with laws requiring turtle-excluder devices on shrimp nets is protecting adult sea turtles. (摘自GMAT SC真题)
黑体部分laws requiring是law主动发出require的动作,理解为:法律要求…
逗号+V-ing
逗号+V-ing出现在主句后面:1表示前面事情带来后面结果2表示前面主句谓语动词和V-ing中的动词v同时进行。
The number of people flying first class on domestic flights rosesharply in 1990, doubling the increase of the previous year.
黑体部分用逗号+V-ing是因为前面主句说The number of people flying first class on domestic flights rose sharply乘坐头等舱的人显著增加带来的结果就是使之前的增加翻了一倍。
Last week local shrimpers held a newsconference to take some credit for the resurgence of the rare Kemp's ridleyturtle, saying thattheir compliance with laws requiring turtle-excluder devices on shrimp nets isprotecting adult sea turtles.(摘自GMAT SC真题)
黑体部分用逗号+V-ing是因为前面主句提到Last week local shrimpers held a news conference… 人们举行了一场听证会的同时他们说了什么,两个动作同时进行。
希望通过以上讲解对你有帮助
