威威老師的文法特快車:分詞構句 (Participle Constructions)
課程導航
哈囉各位同學!我是威威老師。
來,比較這兩種寫法:
A: “Because I was tired, I went to bed early.” B: “Being tired, I went to bed early.”
兩句意思完全一樣——但 B 的字數少了 40%!這就是英文寫作的「瘦身術」——分詞構句 (Participle Constructions)。
把一個完整的副詞子句濃縮成一個分詞片語——就像把一碗牛肉麵壓縮成一顆牛肉丸:味道一樣,體積小很多。
學測寫作高分、GRE 閱讀理解、TOEFL 寫作——分詞構句到處都是!學會它,你的英文立刻從國中跳到大學等級。
但小心:分詞構句有個致命陷阱——「垂懸分詞」。如果分詞主詞不對,整句意思就崩塌!
繫好安全帶 🚂
課前快問 (Pre-Quiz) — 複習 21 倒裝句
- Never ____ such a beautiful sunset before.(I have seen / have I seen)
- Not only ____ the test, but he also got the highest score.(he passed / did he pass)
- ____ comes the bus! Hurry up!(Here / There)
解答
- have I seen — Never 倒裝。
- did he pass — Not only 倒裝。
- Here — Here comes + 名詞(倒裝)。
一、分詞構句 = 副詞子句的「瘦身術」
1-1 核心觀念
分詞構句 (Participle Construction) = 把副詞子句簡化成分詞片語。
| 原句(副詞子句) | 分詞構句 | 變化 |
|---|---|---|
| Because I was tired, I went to bed early. | Being tired, I went to bed early. | 省 Because I was → 改 Being |
| When I was walking to school, I saw a cat. | Walking to school, I saw a cat. | 省 When I was → 改 Walking |
| Because it was written in English, the book is easy. | Written in English, the book is easy. | 省 Because it was → 留 Written |
1-2 分詞構句的好處
| 好處 | 說明 |
|---|---|
| 閱讀理解 | GRE/分科到處都是分詞構句 |
| 寫作精煉 | 避免一堆 Because/When/Although |
| 考試必考 | 學測、分科 + 翻譯題 |
💡 威威白話:「副詞子句的減肥版」——意思一樣,字數變短,看起來更專業!
二、V-ing 分詞構句(主動)— 主詞主動做
2-1 黃金規則
當主要子句的主詞主動做動作時 → 用 V-ing!
2-2 五大功能
| 功能 | 對應連接詞 | 例句 | 還原 |
|---|---|---|---|
| 時間 | when/while/after | Walking to school, I met a friend. | When I was walking… |
| 原因 | because/since/as | Being sick, she stayed home. | Because she was sick… |
| 條件 | if | Turning left, you’ll find it. | If you turn left… |
| 讓步 | although | Knowing the risks, he went ahead. | Although he knew… |
| 附帶狀態 | and(同時) | He sat there, reading a book. | He sat there and was reading… |
2-3 否定形式:Not + V-ing
🚨 Not 放在 V-ing 前面!
| 例句 | 還原 |
|---|---|
| Not knowing what to do, she asked for help. | Because she didn’t know… |
| Not having finished her work, she stayed late. | Because she had not finished… |

解答與詳解
第 1 題:Being tired, I went to bed early.

第 3 題:(C) walking
When + V-ing(連接詞 + 分詞構句)。
第 4 題:Knowing the answer, she said nothing.
第 5 題:She sat by the window, reading.
三、V-pp 分詞構句(被動)— 主詞被做
3-1 黃金規則
當主要子句的主詞被做動作時 → 用 V-pp(過去分詞)!
3-2 黃金例句
| 完整副詞子句 | 分詞構句 |
|---|---|
| Because it was written in simple English, the book is easy. | Written in simple English, the book is easy. |
| When it was seen from the hill, the city looked beautiful. | Seen from the hill, the city looked beautiful. |
| Because he was exhausted from work, he fell asleep. | Exhausted from work, he fell asleep. |
| Because she was born in 1990, she’s 36 now. | Born in 1990, she’s 36 now. |
3-3 判斷神技
🎯 威威判斷法:問自己「主詞是主動還是被動?」
- 主動 → V-ing(Walking to school, I…)
- 被動 → V-pp(Written in English, the book…)
3-4 已形容詞化的過去分詞
這些 V-pp 已經接近「形容詞」了:
- tired(疲倦的)
- surprised(驚訝的)
- excited(興奮的)
- exhausted(筋疲力盡的)
- interested(感興趣的)
- bored(無聊的)
🎯 V-pp 分詞構句即時練習(5 題)
1. Choose: ______ in 1889, the Eiffel Tower attracts millions of visitors. (A) Building (B) Built (C) Having built (D) To build
2. Choose: ______ from the long walk, he sat down to rest. (A) Tiring (B) Tired (C) Having tired (D) To tire
3. Convert: “Because the book was written in English, it’s easy to read.” → V-pp 分詞構句
4. Choose: ______ from the hill, the city looked beautiful. (A) Seeing (B) Seen (C) Having seen (D) To see
5. Translate: 「她在小村莊出生,夢想著城市生活。」(Use Born + V-pp)
寫好答案再往下看 👇
解答與詳解
第 1 題:(B) Built
鐵塔被建造 → V-pp。
第 2 題:(B) Tired
「被疲倦」(受影響)→ V-pp。
第 3 題:Written in English, the book is easy to read.
第 4 題:(B) Seen
城市被看(從山上往下看城市)→ V-pp。
第 5 題:Born in a small village, she dreamed of city life.
四、Having + V-pp — 完成分詞構句
4-1 黃金規則
當分詞構句的動作比主要子句更早發生時 → 用 Having + V-pp!
4-2 例句
| 原句 | 完成分詞構句 |
|---|---|
| After he had finished his homework, he went out. | Having finished his homework, he went out. |
| Because she had studied abroad, she speaks fluent English. | Having studied abroad, she speaks fluent English. |
| Because he had failed twice, he was determined. | Having failed twice, he was determined. |
4-3 被動完成:Having been + V-pp
| 例句 | 還原 |
|---|---|
| Having been told the truth, she was angry. | Because she had been told… |
| Having been invited to the party, she prepared a gift. | Because she had been invited… |
💡 在某些情況下 Having been 可省略 been: “Having been told the truth” → “Told the truth”
🎯 Having + V-pp 即時練習(5 題)
1. Choose: ______ his homework, he went out to play. (A) Having finished (B) Having finishing (C) Finishing (D) To finish

寫好答案再往下看 👇
解答與詳解
第 1 題:(A) Having finished
「做完功課」(更早)→ Having + V-pp。
第 2 題:(A) Having failed
主動失敗 → Having failed(不用 been)。
第 3 題:(B) Having been told
被告知(被動)+ 更早發生 → Having been + V-pp。
第 4 題:Having been warned about the danger, they proceeded carefully.
第 5 題:Having lived in Japan for three years, she knows the culture well.
五、連接詞 + 分詞 — 保留連接詞
有時候,保留連接詞讓邏輯關係更清晰,只把子句簡化成分詞。
5-1 結構
連接詞 + V-ing / V-pp(主詞省略)
5-2 常見連接詞
| 連接詞 | 例句 |
|---|---|
| when | When walking in the park, I met an old friend. |
| while | While waiting, I read a book. |
| before | Before leaving, please turn off the lights. |
| after | After finishing dinner, we went for a walk. |

解答與詳解
第 1 題:(C) walking
When + 主動 → V-ing。
第 2 題:(B) taken
If + 被動(藥被服用)→ V-pp。
第 3 題:(B) exhausted
Though + 被動/形容詞化 V-pp。
第 4 題:(B) entering
Before + 主動 → V-ing。
第 5 題:Before leaving, please turn off the lights.
六、獨立分詞構句 — 有自己主詞的分詞構句
6-1 核心觀念
一般分詞構句的邏輯主詞 = 主要子句主詞。獨立分詞構句的邏輯主詞有自己的名詞,跟主要子句不同!
6-2 結構
[名詞 + 分詞 / 形容詞 / 介系詞片語], 主要子句。
6-3 例句
| 獨立分詞構句 | 還原 |
|---|---|
| The weather being fine, we went on a picnic. | Because the weather was fine… |
| All things considered, the plan is good. | If all things are considered… |
| The meeting over, everyone went home. | When the meeting was over… |
| His arms folded, he stood by the door. | With his arms folded… |
| The sun having set, we headed home. | After the sun had set… |

寫好答案再往下看 👇
解答與詳解
第 1 題:(C) being
獨立分詞構句:The weather + being(不同主詞)。
第 2 題:(C) considered
「事情被考慮」→ V-pp(被動)。
第 3 題:The sun having set, we headed home.
第 4 題:(C) His 或 (D) With his
His arms folded(獨立主格)/ With his arms folded(with 結構)都可。
第 5 題:The meeting over, everyone went home.
七、垂懸分詞 — 致命陷阱!
7-1 什麼是垂懸分詞?
分詞構句的邏輯主詞必須等於主要子句的主詞!如果不等於 → 垂懸分詞錯誤!
7-2 經典錯誤
| 錯誤 ❌ | 為什麼錯? | 正確 ✓ |
|---|---|---|
| Walking down the street, the trees were beautiful. | trees 不會走路! | Walking down the street, I saw beautiful trees. |
| Looking out the window, a bird flew by. | bird 不會往窗外看! | Looking out the window, I saw a bird fly by. |
| Reading the book, the story was exciting. | story 不會讀書! | Reading the book, I found the story exciting. |
| Driving to work, the radio broke down. | radio 不會開車! | Driving to work, I noticed the radio break down. |
7-3 修正方法
Step 1:分詞構句的動作是誰做的?(邏輯主詞)
Step 2:這個邏輯主詞 = 主句主詞嗎?
├── 是 → 正確
└── 不是 → 垂懸分詞 → 修改!
🎯 垂懸分詞即時練習(5 題)
1. Walking down the street, ______ (A) the trees were beautiful (B) I saw beautiful trees (C) beautiful trees were seen (D) there were beautiful trees
2. Find the dangling participle: “Reading the novel, the story was thrilling.”

4. Choose all correct sentences: (A) Driving home, the rain started. (B) Driving home, I got caught in the rain. (C) Tired from work, the bed felt comfortable. (D) Tired from work, I went straight to bed.
5. Translate: 「在花園散步時,我看到一隻美麗的蝴蝶。」(Use Walking + 正確主詞)
寫好答案再往下看 👇
解答與詳解
第 1 題:(B) I saw beautiful trees
Walking 的邏輯主詞必須是「人」→ I。
第 2 題:垂懸分詞
story 不會 read → 應改:Reading the novel, I found the story thrilling.
第 3 題:Looking out the window, I saw a bird fly by.
改主詞為 I(會看的)。
第 4 題:(B) 和 (D)
(A)(C) 是垂懸分詞——rain 不會 driving,bed 不會 tired。
第 5 題:Walking in the garden, I saw a beautiful butterfly.
八、考試陷阱大整理
學測/GRE 分詞構句考題的 5 大陷阱
陷阱 1:V-ing vs. V-pp(主動 vs. 被動)
主詞主動 → V-ing;主詞被做 → V-pp。
陷阱 2:Having + V-pp(更早發生)
兩個動作有先後 → 早的用 Having + V-pp。
陷阱 3:垂懸分詞!
分詞主詞必須 = 主句主詞!
陷阱 4:否定 Not 放 V-ing 前
Not knowing(不是 Knowing not)。
陷阱 5:連接詞 + 分詞
When/While/If/Though + V-ing/V-pp,主詞省略。
