while做伴随状语的疑问

这是我自己编的while做伴随状语的句子,不知道写的对不对,如果不对,请高人指点。

我的问题是while做伴随状语,前面不加逗号,while后的分词的逻辑主语是紧靠前面动词的动作执行着。如:The police allows criminals to smoke while standing(这个句子应该是正确的,他是OG178的内容的一点改写),这里我认为standing的逻辑主语是smoke的动作执行者。

但如果while前有逗号,则while后的分词的逻辑主语是前面主句主语,如:  The police allows criminals to smoke, while standing.这是standing的逻辑主语是police.我分析的对不对,高人们,请指点。

很有意思的问题!

WHILE的用法很灵活,可以在OG里搜索一下,会发现WHILE的用法。不过我觉得The police allows criminals to smoke , while standing依然是个有歧义的句子。因为一般情况下,WHILE表示伴随动作的时候会在主句前,逻辑主语同主句主语,这也是为了避免歧义。

讨论。

gg 我也一直在关注着一问题,你的说法目前就我看到的题完全同意,请你看一看og 233就知while raising的逻辑主语就是其紧靠前面动词的动作执行着Recently implemented "shift-work equations" based on studies of the human sleep cycle ,还有og 31的E选项虽然错了,但我觉得他对while willing 的解释我不能理解。
og233. Recently implemented "shift-work equations" based on studies of the human sleep cycle have reduced sickness, sleeping on the job, fatigue among shift workers, and have raised production efficiency in various industries.
(A) fatigue among shift workers, and have raised
(B) fatigue among shift workers, and raised
(C) and fatigue among shift workers while raising
(D) lowered fatigue among shift workers, and raised
(E) and fatigue among shift workers was lowered while raising
The best answer, C, grammatically states that the equations... have reduced x, y, and i. and have raised efficiency. Choices A and B fail to use and to signal that fatigue among shift workers completes the series begun by have reduced, and so produce awkward and unclear sentences. Both D and E fail to use and to introduce the last item in the list, which is sleeping in these constructions. In E, while raising has no logical referent, producing only the absurd statement that fatigue has raised efficiency.

31. Unlike computer skills or other technical skills, there is a disinclination on the part of many people to recognize the degree to which their analytical skills are weak.
(A) Unlike computer skills or other technical skills, there is a disinclination on the part of many people to recognize the degree to which their analytical skills are weak.
(B) Unlike computer skills or other technical skills, which they admit they lack, many people are disinclined to recognize that their analytical skills are weak.
(C) Unlike computer skills or other technical skills, analytical skills bring out a disinclination in many people to recognize that they are weak to a degree.
(D) Many people, willing to admit that they lack computer skills or other technical skills, are disinclined to recognize that their analytical skills are weak.
(E) Many people have a disinclination to recognize the weakness of their analytical skills while willing to admit their lack of computer skills or other technical skills.
Choice D is best. Choice A illogically compares skills to a disinclination; choice B compares skills to many people. Choice C makes the comparison logical by casting analytical skills as the subject of the sentence, but it is awkward and unidiomatic to say skills bring out a disinclination. Also in C, the referent of
they is unclear, and weak to a degree changes the meaning of the original statement. In E, have a disinclination... while willing is grammatically incomplete, and admit their lack should be admit to their lack. By making people the subject of the sen-tence, D best expresses the intended contrast, which pertains not so much to skills as to people's willingness to recognize different areas of weakness.

In E, while raising has no logical referent, producing only the absurd statement that fatigue has raised efficiency.


在E中,
and fatigue among shift workers was lowered while raising
已经是个独立的句子,所以while修饰fatigue应该 是没有错的

have a disinclination... while willing is grammatically incomplete

while后面省略了一个系动词,习惯搭配应该是be willing to ,而前面是动词have所以如果正确的话,后面应该把系动词be加出来,要不当然是grammatically incomplete!

讨论?

我不理解你的意思,你看og 233中部也有have 吗?

233中我觉得后面的是一个句子了,所以while后面的raising的逻辑主语就有歧异了,有可能是fatigue among shift workers。
