分詞的獨(dú)立主格結(jié)構(gòu)主要表示謂語動(dòng)詞發(fā)生的時(shí)間、原因、條件或伴隨情況等，相當(dāng)于一個(gè)狀語從句或并列句。如：

(3) 關(guān)于being / having been的省略問題

在許多情況下，獨(dú)立主格中的現(xiàn)在分詞being和having been可以省略，而不會(huì)改變句意的變化。如：

This (being) done, I set about cleaning the windows. 做完此事，我就開始擦洗窗戶。

(Being) seized with a sudden fear, she gave a scream. 她突然感到害怕，叫了一聲。

(Being) asked to sing a song for them, she couldn’t very well refuse. 當(dāng)要求她為他們唱個(gè)歌時(shí)，她就不好拒絕了。

但是，在下列兩種情況下，獨(dú)立主格結(jié)構(gòu)中的being（或having been）不能省略：

① 獨(dú)立主格的邏輯主語是代詞時(shí)。如：

It being a holiday, all the shops were shut. 由于今天是假日，所有商店都關(guān)門了。

② 在There being＋名詞的結(jié)構(gòu)中。如：

There being no further business, I declared the meeting closed. 由于沒有別的事了，我宣布閉會(huì)。
