关于逗号+现分

1.five fledging sea eagles left their nests in western Scotland this summer,bringing to 34 the number of wild birds sucessfully raised since transplants from Norway began in 1975.

2.To the historian Tacitus,the nephew of Pliny the Elder wrote two letters,being the only eyewitness accounts of the great eruption of Vesuvius.

前一句修饰主句壮语做伴随，后一句作定语修饰the letters

so 逗号+现分 到底怎么修饰？不可以说bringing 修饰summer?

你寫的第二句是錯的。
In two letters to the
historian Tacitus, the nephew of Pliny the Elder wrote the only eyewitness
account of the great eruption of Vesuvius.

恩，第二个例子是错的。芥末的就对了。

我理解，现在分词做状语放句末表伴随的有，修饰整句的有（1），做定于就近修饰前面名词的也有，都可以逗号然后现在分词。主要看逻辑意思决定。只是ing分词可以充当这些成分而已。

同意逻辑至上

但感觉 S V O, Ving，似乎多数情况下表示伴随状态或结果，做壮语

不太懂「伴随状态」的定义，如果有考题的话，可否举一下。
谢谢

一道分词做伴随壮语的题

163. Found throughout Central and South America, sloths hang from trees by long rubbery limbs and sleep fifteen hours a day, moving infrequently enough that two species of algae grow on its coat and between its toes.
        

1. sloths hang from trees by long rubbery limbs and sleep fifteen hours a day, moving infrequently enough

2. sloths hang from trees by long rubbery limbs, they sleep fifteen hours a day, and with such infrequent movements

3. sloths use their long rubbery limbs to hang from trees, sleep fifteen hours a day, and move so infrequently

4. the sloth hangs from trees by its long rubbery
                   limbs, sleeping fifteen hours a day and
                   moving so infrequently
                   

5. the sloth hangs from trees by its long rubbery
               limbs, sleeps fifteen hours a day, and it moves
               infrequently enough
                   

D, the best choice, correctly subordinates sleeping and moving to hangs while using the idiomatically correct phrasing so (infrequently) that.... The pronoun its shows clearly that the limbs belong to the sloth, not the trees. Choice A illogically coordinates hang and sleep and, like E, uses the unidiomatic expression infrequently enough that. B creates an awkward and nonparallel series: sloths hang ..., they sleep ..., and with.... C creates a confusing and absurd image with use their... limbs to hang ..., sleep ..., and move .... A, B, and C all mistakenly use the plural sloths, which does not agree , with its coat and... its toes. E wrongly coordinates hangs and sleeps and violates parallelism by inserting it before moves to create a new independent clause.

謝謝你，我一直对伴随有疑问就是似乎是A动作发生，随着B也发生，也就是说同时间。但是我发现gmat的考题中，分词的考法跟and平衡会一起，也就是写三个动词，要判断哪几个要修改成分词。分词地位是低於and，难就难在如果依据动词去想，是谁应该伴随谁，就会思考混淆。

我今天也做pp-T1-134，也贴给你叁考，正确答案是D，不是E。
