如:After class was over (=Class being over / Class over), the students soon left the classroom.下课后,学生很快离开了教室。
2. 不能省略being (having been)的情形在下列两种情况下,独立主格结构中的being(或having been)不能省略:(1)独立主格结构的逻辑主语是代词时。
如:It being Sunday, we went to church.因为是星期天,我们去了做礼拜。
(2)在There being+名词的结构中。
如:There being no bus, we had to go home on foot.因为没有公共汽车,所以我们不得不步行回家。
3. 通常不用物主代词或冠词在“名词(或代词)+介词短语”构成的独立主格结构中,一般不用形容词性物主代词和冠词。
如:Miss Smith entered the classroom, book in hand.史密斯先生走进了课室,手里拿着一本书。
比较with的复合结构:Miss Smith entered the classroom, with a book in his hand.4. 独立主格结构没有所有格形式The chief-editor arriving, we began the meeting. 主编来了,我们开始开会。
比较动名词复合结构:The chief-editor’s arriving made us very surprised.5. 独立主格的时态问题独立主格结构作时间或原因状语时,可用完成时,表示该动作发生在谓语之前。
