状语可以在句中的位置

问题描述

The report, tracking the well-being of 30,000 people in 13,000 households, found that young people in 2014 were more "serious" than in 2005. 

其中tracking the well-being of 30,000 people in 13,000 households这句是不是独立分词结构做状语，它所处位置能在主动词 found 前主语后吗?

谢谢回答！

老师答疑

陈老师：

回答如下：

现在分词作状语，其位置除了可以放在句首，也还可以放在句中的.还可以放在句末

【1】现在分词放在句首作状语

Being ill, he didn’t attend the meeting.

改为状语从句=As he was ill, he didn't attend the meeting.

Hearing the news, they all jumped with joy.

【2】现在分词放在句中作状语

These boys, being hungry and tired, went home.

改为相对应从句为：These boys , who were hungry and tired, went home.

【3】现在分词放在句末作状语

The old man died, leaving his wife and his two children.

The students went away, laughing and running.

（特别备注：现在分词的逻辑主语就是句子的主语）

谢谢回答，但有人把分词短语看作是非限定定语修饰主语，所以是把它看作是状语还是定语更贴合实意？

继续回答

不可以看作为非限制性定语从句，原因是 非限制性定语从句是一个有主语+谓语+其它结构的完整句子，很显然，现在分词短语，没有主语，也没有谓语，因此不能看作为非限制性定语从句，但是可以改为相对应的从句.

蒋老师：

句中的 tracking the well-being of 30,000 people in 13,000 households 就是一个普通的现在分词短语，其逻辑主语是 the report。这样的分词短语放在“主语”与“谓语”之间的现象很正常。如：

Many of us, being so excited, could not go to sleep that night. 我们很多人是那样的激动，那天晚上都没有睡着。

Mr. Brown, having had a previous appointment, was unable to come to the party. 布朗先生已先与人有约了，所以无法来参加宴会。

The teacher, not having heard the chimes, kept on teaching. 老师没听到下课铃声，仍继续上课。
