以下是引用pobaby在2007-3-13 16:49:00的发言：问个小问题,插入语可以做状语吗? 例如OG SC的88题 The Emperor Augustus, it appears, commissioned an idealized sculpture portrait, the features of which are so unrealistic as to constitute what one scholar calls an “artificial face.” 这里边的 it appears是插入语 , 我看见讨论帖里有人说是插入语做状语 我知道是插入语,但不能确定插入语是否可以做状语,请大家指点.谢谢!!! 想了想觉得MM这个问题不一定要有答案是或者不是，因为我觉得“插入语是否可以作状语”这个问题没意义。先来看一下插入语的用法吧。 英语中的插入语（Parenthesis）是插在句子中的一个词，短语或从句，通常被逗号、破折号或句子的其他部分隔开，它与句子的其他部分之间没有语法上的关系，因此，有的语法学家将其归为独立成分。
插入语在句中通常是对一句话的一些附加解释，说明或总结；有时表示说话者的态度和看法；有时起强调的作用；有时是为了引起对方的注意；还可以起转移话题或说明事由的作用；也可以承上启下，使句子与前面的语句衔接的更紧密一些。
插入语大致可分为以下10种类型： 1. 形容词或形容词短语作插入语
如：worst still, sure enough, strange, most important of all等。
Strange, there is nobody in the classroom. 2. 副词或副词短语作插入语
如：personally, honestly, fortunately, luckily, for us, though, besides, exactly, surely, frankly, still otherwise 等。
Luckily for you, I happen to have the key.
3. 介词短语作插入语
如：of course, in short, as a matter of fact, by the way, on the other hand, in my opinion, in conclusion等。
In short, we should not stop halfway.
As a result, they suffered heavy losses.
On the contrary, we should strengthen our ties with them.
4. 现在分词短语作插入语
如：generally speaking, judging from/ by …, talking of…, considering…等。
Considering his age, he did very well.
Frankly speaking, I don’t like the job.
Talking of singing, will you go to the concert with me tonight?
5. 过去分词短语作插入语
Painted white, we like the house better.
注意：之所以称它为插入语，是由于这种过去分词是独立的，没有逻辑主语。
6. 动词不定式
如：to be sure, to be frank（坦率地说），to tell you the truth（说实话），so to speak （可以说）等。
To be frank, I don’t quite agree with you.
That’s a wonderful idea, to be sure.
To tell you the truth, I am not very interested in going to the show.
7. 代词词组
如：all the same（尽管如此），all told（总共），all in all（总的来说）等。
His crew was reduced to twenty-four all told.
All in all, her condition is greatly improved.
8. 从句
如：if so / not / any, if I may say so, if you don’t mind, as you know, as you say 等。
If I may say so, we know nothing about it.
This man, as you know, is good for nothing.
9. 句子
如：I say /hear, I think /hope / believe, you know / see, what’s more, that is （to say）, I’m afraid, do you think / suppose等。
It’s a great mistake, I think, not to accept their proposal.
The temple disappeared, no one remembers when.
The old man, it is said, was an artist but people hardly know anything about this side of his life.
10. 用标点符号引导插入语
如：He was （strange as it seems）an excellent sportsman.
He was －to me at least, if not to you－a figure that was worth having pity on.
MM所举的这个例子应该属于第九类，句子。关于这一条，我查到一个小说明：这类插入语和状语很接近，说是状语也可以（注意不是你的问题的答案，能不能作状语），所不同的是它和句子其它关系不密切。它不描绘谓语或某一个词，而是对全句进行补充说明，因此有些语法学家称其为句子状语（Sentence Adverbials）。在这种句子中，如果我们把插入语移到句子前部去，它就会成为主要成分，而原来句子的主要成分会变成一个从句。 The Emperor Augustus, it appears, commissioned an idealized sculpture portrait, the features of which are so unrealistic as to constitute what one scholar calls an “artificial face.” -->It appears that the Emperor Augustus commissioned an.... 补充一个偶LG常教训偶的话：你不用去区分它究竟是什么成分，是状语还是补语？是插入语还是同位语？关键是要确定这种用法是正确的，然后你也会用，就可以了。 |
