G16-03 分詞構句第三款:省略and

文章編號:G16-03

分詞構句的第三篇發佈之後,也代表著英文文法終於來到了整個核心文法區的最後一篇文章:
分詞構句第三款!其心法其實很簡單:


「and連接兩個對等的動詞時(也就是兩個動詞共享一個主詞時),省略and, 其後面動詞變Ving (如果是being則常省略). Ving前面會有逗點。」


看些例句熟悉一下操作規則吧~


E.g.1: 「血液在身體裡循環,攜帶氧氣到身體很多部分。」

如果想成為分詞構句高高手,可以再往下學這第三款心法的獨立分詞構句

「and連接兩個句子,而這兩個句子的主詞不同時,省略and,但保留第二個句子的主詞,其後面的動詞變Ving(如果是being則常省略). Ving前面有逗點。」


補充:這樣的句子還可用with + O + OC的結構改寫(詳見G16-01G16-01 分詞構句第一款:省略主格型關代分詞構句第一款衍生篇二)



E.g.1: 「他正在看電視,他狗狗睡在他旁邊。」

 

and連接版

分詞構句第三款學完囉~這心法運用跟前面兩款比起來應該相對單純吧?了然於心後,我們來點分詞構句綜合練習題唷。


分詞構句綜合練習:

很多英文長句裡都會出現「, Ving」這結構。但到底那「, Ving」是分詞構句第一款省略, which來的(詳見G16-01G16-01 分詞構句第一款:省略主格型關代G16-01基本變化篇E.g.6),還是本文提到的省略and而來的呢?這要看前後文語意來判斷~

有三種可能出現的情況

一、 , Ving = , which + V(分詞構句第一款)

E.g.: In medicine, AI algorithms allow us to make more precise diagnoses and personalized treatment plans for patients, revolutionizing healthcare.

「在醫藥方面,AI演算法讓我們來做出更精確的診斷,並對病人做出個人化的治療方案,這大幅變革了醫療。」

source: https://morethandigital.info/en/the-future-of-artificial-intelligence-ai-in-2024-and-beyond/

討論:這裡的, revolutionizing是省略, which還是and?
 

如果是分詞構句第一款省略, which來的,原句應該是...

In medicine, AI algorithms allow us to make more precise diagnoses and personalized treatment plans for patients, which revolutionizes healthcare.


which指稱前面「AI演算法讓我們來做出更精確的診斷,並對病人做出個人化的治療方案」整件事情,這整件事的確可以大幅變革醫療,合理唷~

如果是分詞構句第三款省略and來的,原句應該是...

In medicine, AI algorithms allow us to make more precise diagnoses and personalized treatment plans for patients, and revolutionize healthcare.


那這句話意思變成AI演算法做兩件事:(1) 讓我們來做出更精確的診斷,並對病人做出個人化的治療方案 (2) 大幅變革醫療。但大幅變革醫療的應該不是AI演算法本身,而是「AI讓我們來做出更精確的診斷,並對病人做出個人化的治療方案」這個事實,故此解讀方式不合理。

結論:這句英文裡的, revolutionizing = , which revolutionzes
 

二 , Ving = and + V (分詞構句第三款)
 

E.g.: He suspects the warming effect of the volcanic eruption has been larger than early estimates suggested, noting that the eruption may have affected atmospheric circulation and helped amplify the El Niño that developed in 2023. 

「他懷疑火山噴發的暖化效應已經比早期預期顯示的大,且提到其噴發可能已經影響大氣循環,並幫忙放大2023年的聖嬰現象。」


source: https://www.nytimes.com/2024/04/10/climate/ocean-heat-records.html

如果是分詞構句第一款省略, which來的,原句應該是...

He suspects the warming effect of the volcanic eruption has been larger than early estimates suggested, which notes that the eruption may have affected atmospheric circulation and helped amplify the El Niño that developed in 2023. 


如果這裡的which指稱前面整件事情是不合理的,因為前面整件事情不會「指出」後面that子句的內容,能「指出」該內容的應該是個人

如果是分詞構句第三款省略and來的,原句應該是...

He suspects the warming effect of the volcanic eruption has been larger than early estimates suggested, and notes that the eruption may have affected atmospheric circulation and helped amplify the El Niño that developed in 2023. 


解壓縮出來的原句表示He做兩件事情:(1) 懷疑火山噴發的暖化效應已經比早期預期顯示的大 (2) 提到其噴發可能已經影響大氣循環,並幫忙放大2023年的聖嬰現象。非常合理唷~

結論:這句英文裡的, noting = and notes
 

三、 兩種都有可能:
 

E.g.: In 2018, the eruption of Indonesia’s Anak Krakatau caused it to topple into the sea, triggering a tsunami (that struck the coasts of the main Java and Sumatra islands, killing more than 400 people).

「在2018年,印尼的喀拉喀托火山爆發,陷入海中,造成海嘯。該海嘯襲擊爪哇本島和蘇門答臘島,造成400多人喪生。」


source: https://edition.cnn.com/2024/04/17/asia/indonesia-mount-ruang-volcano-eruption-intl-hnk/index.html

如果是分詞構句第一款省略, which來的,原句應該是...

In 2018, the eruption of Indonesia’s Anak Krakatau caused it to topple into the sea, which triggered a tsunami (that struck the coasts of the main Java and Sumatra islands, which killed more than 400 people).


第一個「, which triggered」 表示引發海嘯的是「印尼的喀拉喀托火山爆發,陷入海中」這整件事,滿合理的。第二個「, which killed」表示導致400多人喪命的是「該海嘯襲擊爪哇本島和蘇門答臘島」這整件事,也滿合理的。

如果是分詞構句第三款省略and來的,原句應該是...

 In 2018, the eruption of Indonesia’s Anak Krakatau caused it to topple into the sea, and triggered a tsunami (that struck the coasts of the main Java and Sumatra islands, and killed more than 400 people).


第一個「, and triggered」表示「印尼的喀拉喀托火山爆發」做了兩件事:(1)  陷入海中 (2) 引發海嘯,想想也滿有可能的,算合理。第二個「and killed」表示海嘯做了兩件事:(1) 襲擊爪哇本島和蘇門答臘島 (2) 造成400多人喪命,也滿合理的。

結論:, triggering = , which triggered = , and triggered 
         , killing = , which killed = , and killed


或許你會問,為什麼要這麼麻煩去分析看到某個「, Ving」是等於分詞構句第一款的「, which + V」還是分詞構句第三款的「, and +V」呢?因為要想清楚了,才知道做這個動作的主詞到底是誰,是前面整件事呢?還是前面的主詞而已。如此才能對於這個英文長句的理解才能更清楚透徹唷~

 

分詞構句第三款結論
 

最後,回歸到本文前面的重點:分詞構句第三款,其心法為「and連接兩個對等的動詞時(也就是兩個動詞共享一個主詞時),省略and, 其後面動詞變Ving (如果是being則常省略). Ving前面會有逗點。」
