  14.11 狀語

  狀語(adverbial)是修飾動詞、形容詞、副詞以及全句的句子成分。如:

  (1)The girl is improving remarkably. 這個女孩大有進步。(副詞remarkably用作狀語,修飾動詞短語is improving)

  狀語按其修飾關(guān)系共有兩大類:一是一般狀語,修飾句中的動詞、形容詞、副詞等句子成分;另一類是修飾或說明或連接句子的句子狀語。

  第一類狀語為數(shù)最多。按其用途,它又可分為時間、地點、方面、原因、結(jié)果、目的、條件、讓步、程度、方式、伴隨情況等11種。

  1)時間狀語,多位于句末和句首,有時亦可置于句中。如:

  (43)Shall we do the shopping today or tomorrow? 我們是今天還是明天出去買東西呀?(置于句末)

  注意時間狀語一般不可置于謂語與賓語之間。

  有些表示不定頻度的時間副詞,如always,usually,often,frequently,sometimes,occasionally,seldom,等,用作狀語時,常置于句中。如:

  (46)I will always remember her. 我將對她永志不忘。(置于助動詞與主要動詞之間)

  (47)I always stay in bed late on Sunday. 星期天我常睡懶覺。(置于謂語動詞之前)

  (50)Such places are seldom visited. 這種地方很少有人來旅游。(置于被動語態(tài)之中)

  [注]頻度副詞大都不僅可置于句中,亦可置于句末與句首。句首的語氣最強,句末次之,句中的語氣最弱。如:

 ?、賅e go there often. 我們常到那里來。(句末)

 ?、贖e often sees us. 他常來看我們。(句中)

 ?、踁ery often he come in late. 他常常遲到。(句首)

  一個以上的時間狀語并列使用時,一般來說,最小的時間單位在前,后接較大的時間單位,最大的時間單位應(yīng)放在最后。如:

  (51)They reached home at five o’clock in the evening. 他們于傍晚5時到家。

  (52)We’ll discuss the matter during lunch tomorrow. 我們將于明日午餐時討論這件事。

  (53)He’ll be staying here for the summer every year. 他將于每年夏天住在這里。

  [注]但在口語中可說tomorrow at eight(明天8點)或tonight at nine(今晚9點)等。

  (57)Signs were everywhere numerous. 到處有許多招牌。(置于句中)

  地點狀語除表位置外,亦表出發(fā)、去向、距離等。如:

  (59)Are you going to the station? 你去火車站嗎?

  (60)He went on driving for hundreds of miles. 他繼續(xù)駕駛汽車走了數(shù)百哩。

  和并列的時間狀語一樣,并列的地點狀語也應(yīng)將小的地點放在前面,將大的地點放在后面。如:

  (61)The books lie on the table in the library. 那些書都放在圖書館的那張桌子上。

  (62)The meeting will be held in the Great Hall of the People in Beijing in China. 會議將在中國北京人民大會堂舉行。

  當?shù)攸c狀語與時間狀語并列時,一般應(yīng)將地點狀語置于時間狀語之前。如:

  (63)At the airport last night two events took place. 昨晚飛機場發(fā)生了兩件事。

  (64)I stayed there for three weeks last year. 去年我在那里待了三個星期。

  有時由于種種原因,亦可將地點狀語置于時間狀語之后。如:

  (65)Millions of books are printed every day in China. 中國每日都出版成百萬冊的書籍。(由于強調(diào)地點狀語)

  (66)Several agreements were signed yesterday in Beijing’s Great Hall of the People. 昨天在北京的人民大會堂簽訂了好幾項協(xié)定。(由于地點狀語較長)

  有時為了避免句子頭重腳輕,可將時間狀語稱至句首。如:

  3)方面狀語,多置于句末和句首。如:

  10)方式狀語,常由副詞、短語、從句等表示。多位于句末,亦可置于句首或句中。方式狀語表示方式,亦可表示手段、比較、使用工具以及施事等。如:

  (107)“What are you waiting for?” Henry said, his impatience rising. “你還在等什么?”亨利說道,他不耐煩了。

  從上面的例句看,狀語有三種位置:句末、句首與句中,句末一般為最常見的狀語位置。在同一句中,如有一個以上的狀語并列出現(xiàn),總的來說,單詞應(yīng)在前,依次是名詞短語、介詞短語、非限定動詞短語,最后是狀語從句。如:

  (108)The woman went weekly to church. 那女人每周都去做禮拜。(單詞在介詞短語之前)

  (111)Sally got the whiskey from it for him before he went off. 薩利在他走掉之前從柜子里拿出威士忌酒給他。(兩個介詞短語后接一個狀語從句)

  (112)“I have never seen so many people in the streets. We can safely talk about millions,” he added. “我從未看見過街上有這么多人,我們可以有把握地說要以百萬計,”他補充說道。

  如從語義來看,狀語的一般順序應(yīng)是方面狀語在前,依次為方式狀語、地方狀語、時間狀語、原因、結(jié)果、目的等狀語。如:

  (113)He went hastily away. 他匆匆而去。(方式狀語位于地點狀語之前)

  句子狀語是修飾或連接句子的狀語。這類狀語又可分為兩種:一種是說明或評說全句的,另一種是用以連接句子的。

  說明或評說性句子狀語多放在句首或句中:有時也可以放在句末,但其前多有逗號。如:

  (119)Frankly, I don’t like it. 坦白地說,我不喜歡它。(亦可說I don’t like it, frankly。但如說She admitted it frankly,其意則是:她坦率地承認了這一點)

  (120)Of course I remember you. 我當當然記得你。(也可以說I remember you, of course.)

  (121)Can you simply show us and not try to explain it? 你可以只給我們看看而不必進行解說嗎?

  (122)You’re just talking nonsense, Oliver. 你全是在胡說,奧利弗。

  (123)I don’t want the money, confidentially. 作為機密,我不要這筆錢。

  前面提到的表示不定頻度的副詞,如置于謂語動詞(或主要動詞)或表語之前,也常用作句子狀語。

  表否定的副詞not,never,hardly,seldom等,如放在謂語(或主要動詞)或表語之前,亦是這一種句子狀語,如:

  (127)He seldom comes late. 他很少遲到。

  但需要強調(diào)助動詞和連系動詞時,則須將句子狀語放在它們之前。如:

  (128)I really must go. 我真的必須走。(強調(diào)助動詞must)

  (129)I always am careful. 我總是小心的。(強調(diào)連系動詞am)

  [注]上述句子狀語一般亦須置于句子或從句末的助動詞和連系動詞之前。如:

  —Yes, I really must. 是的,我確實必須走。

 ?、赥hat’s where she usually is at this time of day. 每天這時她通常都在那里
