在近年高考英語試題中，分詞短語與從句的考查比較頻繁。大家都知道分詞短語可以在句中作定語、狀語、賓補和表語，但你知道這時的分詞短語可以與從句相互轉(zhuǎn)化嗎？下面就一般情況下分詞短語在句中作定語或狀語時與從句的轉(zhuǎn)化進行介紹。

一、作定語的分詞短語與定語從句的轉(zhuǎn)化。

1．現(xiàn)在分詞短語作定語時，一般都放在所修飾的名詞或代詞的后面，我們可以用定語從句來轉(zhuǎn)換，這時在意思上和一個定語從句沒有區(qū)別。

I dont know the person talking with my English teacher.

=I dont know the person who is talking with my English teacher.

我不認識和我們英語老師說話的那個人？

2．現(xiàn)在分詞短語作定語時，分詞所表示動作發(fā)生的時間在變?yōu)閺木鋾r，一般有下面兩種情況。

1)分詞表示經(jīng)常性動作、現(xiàn)在或當時的狀態(tài)，變?yōu)閺木鋾r用一般時態(tài)。

The monument standing in the middle of the playground was built in 1999.

=The monument that stands in the middle of the playground was built in 1999.

操場中間的紀念碑是1999年建的。

2)分詞表示正在進行的動作，變?yōu)閺木鋾r需用進行時態(tài)。

Tell the children playing there not to make so much noise.

=Tell the children who are playing there not to make so much noise.

讓那些在那兒玩的孩子們別這么吵。

二、作狀語的分詞短語與狀語從句的轉(zhuǎn)化。

1．現(xiàn)在分詞短語可以用作時間狀語，通?？梢赞D(zhuǎn)化為由when，while和after引導(dǎo)的時間狀語從句。

Seeing the house, he couldnt help thinking of the miserable days.

=When he saw the house, he couldnt help thinking of the miserable days.

看到那座房子，他不禁想起那些悲慘的日子。

如果分詞用的是完成形式，表示分詞的動作完成以后，謂語表示的動作才發(fā)生，轉(zhuǎn)化為從句時要用完成時態(tài)的謂語形式。

Having sung an English song, they began to have their class.

=After they had sung an English song, they began to have their class.

他們唱了一首英語歌之后就開始上課。

以as soon as引導(dǎo)的狀語從句的主語若與主句主語一致時，可用on十v-ing形式簡化狀語從句，此時的動詞為非延續(xù)性動詞。

Dr Bethune began to operate on the wounded soldiers as soon as he arrived at the village.

=Dr Bethune began to operate on the wounded soldiers on arriving at the village.

白求恩大夫一到那個村子就給受傷的戰(zhàn)士動手術(shù)。

2．過去分詞短語可以用作原因狀語，相當于一個表示原因的狀語從句。

Influenced by his example, they performed countless good deeds.

=As they were influenced by his example, they performed countless good deeds.

在他的事跡的影響下，他們做了無數(shù)的好事。

Since I didnt know Chinese, I tried to speak to her in English.

=Not knowing Chinese, I tried to speak to her in English.

既然我不懂漢語，那我盡力用英語和她說。

3．連詞（when, before, after, while, though）+ 現(xiàn)在分詞。

While walking along the street, I heard my name called.

=While I was walking along the street, I heard my name called.

當我沿著街道走的時候，我聽見有人叫我。

After she sang, she left the rich mans house.

=After singing, she left the rich mans house.

她唱好了歌離開了那富人的家。

4．連詞 (when, if, even if, unless, once, until, than, as) + 過去分詞。

The exhibition is more interesting than expected.

=The exhibition is more interesting than it was expected. 這個展覽比料想的有趣。
