considering

原书 PDF 第 360

considering1

请分析下列各句中的 considering 的词性和语义。

(1) Considering his age, the little boy reads very well. (WB) 考虑到这个小孩子的年纪,他读得是很好的。

(2) Considering the conditions in the office, she thought it wise not to apply for the job. (CGEL) 考虑到了办公室的条件,她认为不申请这份工作是明智的。

(3) They have done well considering (that) they have no experience. 考虑到他们没有经验,他们干得还是很好的。

(4) He does very well, considering. 依各种情况来看,他干得很好。

considering 在句(1)中为介词,在句(2)中为分词,在句(3)中为连词,在句(4)中为副词。considering 用作介词时,其逻辑主语与句子的主语可以是不一致的。句(1)中的 considering = if one considersconsidering 用作分词时,其逻辑主语与句子的主语是一致的。句(2)中的 considering = when she considered...有些英语语法学家把句(3)中的 considering that 看作是介词 + that。另一些英语语法学家,如 R. Quirk 等人,则把 considering that 看作是复合连词,我们同意后一派学者们的观点。因为按照这种观点很容易解释 that 被省略的情形。句(4)中的 considering 在语义上等于 considering circumstances

considering2

Considering his age, the little boy reads very well. 为什么分词短语的逻辑主语与句子的主语不一致?

这种用法的 consideringregarding 一样, 已不被看作是分词, 而被看作是介词, 因此不存在什么逻辑主语问题。

  1. Considering the job situation, there were surprisingly few applications this year. (CGEL) 考虑到就业形势,今年申请书之少是惊人的。

  2. Considering everything, it wasn't a bad holiday. (PEU) 考虑到各种情况,这个假日过得不错。
