3.句子成分
主语、宾语、同位语、定语、表语、补语、谓语、状语和插入语
•句子成分有哪些
♦主语、宾语和同位语是句子的核心信息,是句子主要阐述的对象;
♦定语、表语和补语是用来修饰或限定主语、宾语或同位语的成分,是修饰性成分;
♦谓语决定了该句的句子类型,决定了该句有哪些主要成分;
♦状语主要是描述谓语状态的修饰或限定性信息,状语也可以用来修饰句子、定语、表语或补语;
♦插入语不是句子的主要成分,通过标点符号(逗号、破折号、括号或冒号)与句子分隔开,可位于句前、句中或句尾,起到补充信息的作用。
•句子成分的构成材料
♦主语、宾语、同位语:名词、代词、动名词、不定式、句子;
♦定语、表语、补语:形容词、介词短语、现在分词、副词、名词、代词、动名词、不定式、句子;
♦状语:副词、介词短语、现在分词、不定式、句子、形容词、名词;
♦插入语:名词、形容词、副词、介词短语、不定式、分词短语。
•主语充当主语的主要是名词、代词、不定式、动名词和主语从句。当主语较长(不定式、动名词、主语从句)时,为避免头重脚轻,可由it作形式主语。
♦句中的主语


•谓语
充当谓语的可以是系动词、不及物动词(短语)、及物动词(短语)。谓语可包含助动词(be,have,do)或情态动词,谓语有时态、语态和语气的变化。
练习
请画出句中的谓语。


•宾语
充当宾语的主要是名词、代词、不定式、动名词和宾语从句。当宾语较长(不定式、动名词、宾语从句)时,为避免头重脚轻,可由it作形式宾语。说明:宾语可分为一般及物动词后面的宾语、介词后面的宾语、具有“给”含义动词后面的直接宾语和间接宾语(双宾语)和使役动词等后面的复合宾语(即宾语+补语)。
♦句中的宾语


•补语补语主要是宾语补足语,但当该句变成被动语态时,原来的宾语补足语就变成了主语补足语。补语和补语前面的宾语合起来被称为复合式宾语。例如:The story makes me happy.在这个句中me为宾语,happy为宾语补足语,它们合在一起被称作复合式宾语。充当宾语补足语的可以是形容词、介词短语、现在分词、副词、名词、代词、动名词、不定式、句子。不同的及物动词在添加宾语后,要再添加不同形式的宾语补足语。
♦可以添加名词为宾语补足语的动词有call,name,think,make等。
如:We call them moon cakes.
They named their baby Jim.
♦接形容词作宾语补足语的动词常见的有make,keep,think,find等。
如:At first I found Chinese hard.
♦接介词短语、副词作宾语补足语的动词常见的有find,keep,take,leave等。
如:The boy found his pen on the floor.
To her surprise,she found herself in a different world.
You should not leave the lights on while nobody is in the room.
♦接分词作宾语补足语的动词常见的有watch,see,hear,find,keep等。
如:In the country,he can hear birds singing.
I saw him doing his homework when I passed his window.
I was absent-minded when I heard my name called.
♦接不定式作宾语补足语的动词比较多,有expect,encourage,let,allow,permit,mean,lead,bring,cause,ask,invite,request,advise,persuade,tell,order等。
如:I expect you to return soon.
I will teach you to do the job.
No one can force him to do anything.
•With的复合宾语
♦with+宾语+形容词,如:It is not good manners to speak with your mouth full.
♦with+宾语+副词,如:The city looks more beautiful with all the lights on.
♦with+宾语+介词短语,如:The woman with a baby on her back lives downstairs.
♦with+宾语+不定式,如:With so much work to do,we can't kill any time by playing cards.
♦with+宾语+现在分词,如:With a boy leading the way,they started towards the village.
♦with+宾语+过去分词,如:With the problems settled,we all felt very happy.
♦with+宾语+名词,如:China is a great country,with its capital Beijing.
省略to的不定式作宾语补足语:在hear,listen to,let,have,make,see,watch,notice,observe等动词后面,使用不定式作宾语补足语时,不定式符号to要省略掉。如:He won't let me leave.在变成被动语态句时,动词不定式的符号to还要再加回去。如:He always makes me laugh.→I am always made to laugh.从句也可作宾语补足语,即宾语补足语从句。如:We will make our hometown what your hometown is now.宾语与宾语补足语在逻辑上是主系表结构,如:The cartoon makes the child happy.宾语the child和宾语补足语happy在逻辑上构成“The child is happy.”的主系表结构。
•表语系动词亦称联系动词,后面的成分被称作表语,系动词本身有词义,但不能单独用作谓语,后边必须跟表语(亦称补语),构成系表结构说明主语的状况、性质、特征等情况。常见的联系动词如下。
♦状态系动词:be
♦持续系动词:keep,rest,remain,stay,lie,stand
♦表象系动词:seem,appear,look
♦感官系动词:feel,smell,sound,taste
♦变化系动词:become,grow,turn,fall,get,go,come,run
♦终止系动词:prove,turn out(表达“证实”,“变成”之意)
表语可以由形容词、介词短语、现在分词、副词、名词、代词、动名词、不定式、句子充当。
♦句中的表语


![]()
有些系动词又是实义动词,该动词表达实义时,有词义,可单独作谓语。例如:He fell ill yesterday.他昨天病了。(fell是系动词,后跟表语,说明主语情况。)He fell off the ladder.他从梯子上摔下来。(fell是实义动词,单独作谓语。)
•定语修饰名词或代词的成分被称为定语。定语可以由形容词、介词短语、现在分词、副词、名词、代词、动名词、不定式、句子充当。单词作定语时通常放在它所修饰的名词(中心词)之前,称作前置定语;短语作定语时常放在中心词的后面,称作后置定语;从句作定语时放在中心词的后面,称作定语从句。
♦前置定语:一般而言,英语句子中的前置定语多为单词。
1)名词和名词所有格作前置定语

5)动词不定式作后置定语
①表示动宾关系:不定式与被修饰的名词在逻辑上构成动宾关系。

•同位语
由两个或两个以上同一层次的语言单位组成的结构,其中前项与后项所指相同,句法功能也相同,后项是前项的同位语。如:Mr Wang,our English teacher,is very kind to us.其中our English teacher是主语Mr Wang的同位语,指同一人。He told me that his brother
John is a world-famous doctor.We Chinese people are brave and hardworking.
英语二中的同位语现象非常常见,常用于介绍某人或机构,且常以插入语的方式出现,如:
Michael Lynn,an associate professor of consumer behavior and marketing at Cornell's School of Hotel Administration,has conducted dozens of studies of tipping.
As Rakesh Khurana,another professor,points out,workers increase allegiance to the firm.
Turns out,according to Daniel Cook,a historian of childhood consumerism,it was popularized as a marketing trick by clothing manufacturers in the 1930s.
•插入语
为了补充信息,进一步解释或衔接前后的信息,文章的作者在句中常常会中插入一些单词、短语或句子,这些成分在含义上起到补充的作用,表面上与句子割裂开,不作任何的语法成分,但在理解或翻译的过程中,要根据这些插入语所修饰或限定的对象将它们定为逻辑上的定语、状语或同位语等。如:The manager,very angry,criticized the employee who made a huge mistake.这里的插入语angry在含义上修饰manger,在翻译时可以根据需要翻译成manger的定语或表语。换句话说,虽然插入语一般作独立成分,但在逻辑上也解释、修饰句中的某一个成分,所以可看作是逻辑上的定语、同位语或状语等。
作为句子的附加成分,插入语通常用逗号(一个或两个)、破折号(一个或两个)或冒号与句子隔开。
1)名词作插入语
