问
Seeing everyone is here, we may as well get into the train.
seeing 是分词吗?
答
seeing 是复合连词 seeing that 的省略形式, 其含义相当于 as, since, now (that), 但是, seeing that (鉴于, 由于) 一般用于正式语体:
-
Seeing that it seems as if it will rain soon, we had better leave now. 好像过一会儿就要下雨，我们最好现在就走。
-
Seeing (that) she's lawfully old enough to get married, I don't see how you can stop her. (LDCE) 她已到合法的结婚年龄，我不明白你怎么能阻止她。
